People often grumble about developers charging extra for paid content. Yet this game stands out. It’s impressive. I asked Mark how much he’d pay for DLC. He was a bit upset about the Dragon Age: Inquisition expansion, but that’s only around $25. My initial idea was about the Dynasty Warriors lineup, known for its excessive costume and armor packs that seem overpriced. Then I discovered Train Simulator 2016: Steam Edition. It costs about $45, which is typical for niche games with a dedicated audience. Dovetail Games even offered a discount on the expansion. The amount of content was staggering—230 packs, many priced high. The first three were expensive, but if most were free or cheap, it made sense. I added everything to my Steam cart, and it turned out to be quite expensive—$3,061.91 in total. Most of the extras were already on sale, around 40% off. Source: Kotaku article.
Sure, the physics feel pretty off 9.9 out of 10 times. You’d need to install third-party mods to make it more believable. For instance, the Amtrak P42 (4250HP) is basically a rebranded Metro-North P32AC-DM (3200HP), and the simulation is really lacking. It only makes sense when it’s on sale.
It's a reasonable amount for the most exciting simulated train ride you'll ever enjoy.
Most participants here haven’t invested even $1,200 in their PC, let alone a game.
Some say EA is problematic... They often offer everything at a reduced cost if you purchase all of it. Of course, they're no longer doing this and are now focusing on free DLC releases.
It really frustrates me when game creators act this way. I was thinking about playing the Mass Effect series with all the downloadable content. The three games cost me around £10 each, and the DLC? About £60 to £70. I refused to buy them for any reason. Some of the expansions were essential to the story, which is pretty disappointing. Honestly, it feels like a waste of time.
