SCS team work too slow, deliver too little

[Karas]

First, I love SCS for giving us truck sims. I spend most of my gaming time with ATS and ETS2. But this dev team work too slow, deliver too little. I want to spend my money on new content for SCS games, but there is nothing to buy. Modders do a better job of delivering new stuff than SCS do. Come on now, is SCS 10 men small dev team? Act like profesionals, stop leaving everything to modders. Give us more content, at least give us something new every month. I don't give a f about free content, I'm willing to spend money as long as SCS deliver new stuff on a regular basis.

It's fine when mods are on Steam Workshop, it's easy to manage, but many of them aren't. I have to check forums and modding sites all the time to keep my mods up to date and see if there is something new. I would rather spend that time on playing the games themselves. The way I see it, whatever content modders deliver should have been delivered by SCS anyway!

Another post that needs locking Hiding behind a private profile as well. He's posted the exact same thing on the ETS2 forum as well.

And agian: SCS is not EA.
Case closed.

@Peter, why should this be locked?
It is he's opinion, there are no bad language, he dosen't attack a person.

I too want more content, both in ats and ets2, not just trucks and maps, but something new gameplay wise. And i am willing to pay for it.

Modders do a great job, but i want to play, not browsing forums for updates for my mods.
Just see what a small mod team can do, SCS should be able to beat that.

Look at the quality of the map of the Promods team, look at the size of the Jazzycat's traffic and trailer-cargo packs, look at all those awesome trucks and truck parts delivered by great modders, look at all those graphic, sound, gameplay fixing/improving mods... Some of them were made by one guy, some of them by small modder teams... How can they make all those better than SCS do? How can they deliver all those faster than SCS do? Isn't SCS a professional development team? I love SCS for giving us truck sims, but I also expect them to deliver better quality content and a lot faster too! And if it's what it takes, I'm willing to pay for them too.

A few dlcs and updates every year won't cut it. Deliver better quality content and deliver faster please.

See my comment on your post in the ETS2 community. But quantity doesn't make quality and most of the time they exclude each other.
Rushed content will be forever bad but delayed content will eventually be good.

Whenever I read news of upcoming content, I instantly lose interest. Because modders are already ahead of whatever SCS promise to deliver. This is just wrong, this should not be the case. I love SCS team, I will play their games forever. It's just that I spend most of my time with their games and I need more and better quality content from them. Thank you.

Visit SCS forum, ask dev to stop develop their games, and let the modders do their job. As a credit for yourself, you may lead these modders for the next roadmap. Good luck and thank you.

I totally disagree that SCS work too slowly and deliver very little. There are also some very good mod maps, but most of these are built up with the assets and prefabs that SCS produce using the SCS tools and the modding information that SCS have put together to allow their games to have tremendous mod support.
https://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Main_Page

It is good to have mod support not just available but encouraged by the developer - this is not a position that many of the larger software houses would encourage and it isn't a position that any other competing truck game has used either.

The SCS games do have far more content than ANY of the competition trucking games - not just maps, but trucks, trailers paint skins, interior and exterior customisation options. Mods have also helped to add to the diversity and as SCS are only seeking licences for trucks in production, it has let modders create old models without risk of SCS then releasing the same model.

You cannot really expect a small game publisher and developer to have all of the advantages the the really big game companies have in the several thousand employees and expect a healthy modding community to support additional content as strongly while also working on such niche titles.

These threads always come immediately before a game update and release of additional map content - it is the anticipation that is at high levels, perhaps take some time to take in some other interests and get away from a computer screen for a few more hours every day. ;)

You are correct. You should stop playing right away.

I always love when someone comes in the forum a complains about the lack of content being released from SCS and why they're so slow, but when they do they come back and complain about how un-optimized and buggy the content is after SCS rushed it. Kinda like damned if they do and damned if they don't in the community. I'd rather have quality over quantity any day of the week.

Personally I think SCS feels pressure from community and rushes map releases, like they did with Idaho and Utah, they're still fixing bugs from those two map releases and in 1.39 ob they're working on the on/off ramps in California from what I've seen based on the map.

SCS is always trying to improve the map, are they perfect?, no, but as far as I've seen neither is any map modding team out there, period.

Well, some people need to complain about something no matter what it is. I'm pretty sure they will even complain about not being able to complain about something.
At some point it will be like: 7/10 - too many trucks and too many roads.

This is getting stupid. So we are not allowed to say anything negative about SCS?

It is not easy to be around hardcore fans.

So, negative opinions shouldn't be challenged?

This is just such a broken record, overly beaten dead horse, call it what you will but we've been over this a million times before this thread, now a million and one.
It is certainly no secret why things are the way they are, and no amount of whining is going to change a thing. Mostly threads like this are just trolling
