    So you delete comments you don't like? Well that sounds a little one sided.

    And not being truthful with you users you should always keep the bad as well as the good.

    Ok, for the last time I was not spamming the forums if I was then there would be multiple posts from me in one go and I only did only one nonsensical thread once the others were months ago, also this one is not a nonsensical thread,

    All this thread was about why DTG hasn't dropped gen 8 and converted to UE5, ofc before TSW6 was announced lots of people speculated that TSW6 was going to be gen 9 only and switching to UE5, by looking at recent add-ons like Manchester Airport Commuter, Frankfurt S Bahn and DB BR 194/ E94 railtour pack was gen 9 exclusive ofc it was obvious that TSW6 was going to be gen 9 exclusive.

    I'm not spamming, I didn't continuously post every second, and also there's nothing wrong with using AI for threads it doesn't break any rules.

    A "poll" where both options are yes is spam in my book
    upload_2025-7-12_19-28-55.png

    Then creating a thread against Gen 9 only routes (originally both options on this poll was NO, before you added further options) hours after further thread saying TSW6 is doomed because it hadn't dropped Gen 8 on the same day is not only spam, but also contradictory in my book.

    What are you talking about this poll was made yesterday, Your Gen 9 poll was also made yesterday, thats 2 in one day. Your Xbox one was made last Sunday.

    Not months ago.

    Well yeah about the polls, I was wrong about that but still the recent so-called nonsensical threads aren't nonsensical and yes these gen 9 exclusive route shouldn't have been gen 9 exclusive, it should have also been available on gen 8 but there's got to be a valid reason on why it's gen 9 exclusive and if not then it's just unfair on gen 8 players
    Ok, yes I made the polls for my threads yesterday or today but still Im closing the polls on thread to avoid any backlash.

    So TSW6 is doomed because its supporting Gen 8 because its "holding the game back" (newsflash - it isnt), but the Gen 9 only routes are wrong and should have been available on Gen 8?

    That makes absolutely zero sense.

    And how is a poll with only 2 identical options not nonsensical?

    Well TSW6 is kinda doomed because TSW6 is still holding onto gen 8 which means no longer routes, we'll just be having these short unpleasant routes but about the gen 9 exclusive add-ons I just personally thought they should have been on gen 8 also but plus other games are dropping gen 8 so why can't TSW6 I'm sure DTG is just going to make future routes gen 9 exclusive and it's bad for gen 8 players because they won't be able to play these routes.

    So why the poll where you say it's not fair that there are gen9 exclusive routes if Gen 8 is holding it back in reality.

    You have contradicted yourself.

    It's the worst, recent TSW5 add-ons cant be on gen 8 because of performance issues, then DTG shouldn't make TSW6 for gen 8 because, I'm sure the core routes are going to be gen 9 exclusive which is just a game over for gen 8 players

    I highly doubt the core routes are going to be gen9 only.

    Now your just throwing out conspiracy theories.

    I'm done and you are now on the ignore list as you don't have a clue.

    Do you ever think before typing something, or just wait until you know what you will get? I only see assumptions and conclusions based on nothing.

    This is just classic brain fart insanity, you want gen 8 be dropped because you feel it's holding back the game, but at the same time complaining that that if they make the DLC Gen 9 only it's not fair for the Gen 8 peeps because they can't play the said DLC. I'm practically wetting myself laughing at the sheer stupidity of your argument dude.......

    I wouldn’t say that they are basic routes on gen8 Frankfurt HBF had performance issues with a reduced timetable. On Frankfurt S-Bahn are many services and a reduced timetable would felt empty.

    Guys, I'm not a member of the community team, so I hold no sway here, but can I please ask that everyone back away? The likelihood is that this thread will likely be locked by Monday morning, as there have probably been reports flying left, right, and centre.
    I know everybody here has a passion for the product, whether their views are positive, negative, or neutral, but this going around in circles isn't going to promote proper discussion and will probably give the community team a headache they'd rather not have on Monday morning.
    Please, everybody, think if you need to say what you are saying, what can be harmless to some can be read as nasty to others.
    All I'm asking is everybody to cool off a bit in this heat and see if we can't bring this back around to some constructive discussion. :)

    Well said and not sure why people are dragging it on. It’s pointless and as someone that understands how damaging some comments can be wether that’s said with any malicious intent or not it can hurt the end users.

    As adults here we should be mindful of this and not be so hard. Fair yes but ruthless or sly remarks does nothing but harm even if it’s seen a banter. A duty to read the room. Ie are people ganging up or just publicly passing a free comment.

    So to the OP take heed of what’s being said in a constructive manner. Everyone that has nothing better to do will add comments or troll ya YT channel. It’s the world we live in and part of social media habits. You must understand this and responsible for actions or errors made in judgment.

    Take it on chin, learn from this and just walk away. Hold your hand up even and say okay you get the message and close the thread down or delete it. Keeping it going will serve nothing now apart from being a red flag to some.
    These will have their opinions just like the rest do, yet have no consideration for who there addressing their age or even state of mind.

    It’s about reading the room, taking responsibility and accountability on both sides here.

    The kids made a mistake but must we let them suffer this way.

    A Joke is a Joke but where is the Joke here other than attacking an error of judgement.

    And if we are to speak of irony and trolls then by being here make is all just that.

    Or why be here?.

    A laugh is a laugh but not at other expense. I’ll support any member on this thread that sees as an adult would and should do.
    Is this technically bullying a community member, reading the situation I feel it is because I’ve been bullied so know what it looks like.
    If anyone has anything to say, say it once and walk away, more than that is bullying or trolling a member or subject.

    I agree with your statement and the matter of time.

    So good luck OP I’ve said my piece and I’ve devoted some time in trying to bring common sense back to the room.

    Now I’m walking away like an adult should. It’s a disgrace to watch this type of behaviour.
    And I have better things to be doing than insult you.

    I’d take some shelter from the storm:)

    Rigsby.

    The problem trainfan#6965 is you contradict yourself time and time again in your posts. I can’t tell if you support 8th gen or out right hate it, going by some of your previous comments. You confuse me and other members.

    Sooner this thread gets locked the better.

    Actually I requested for this thread to be deleted

    and BTW I didn't mean to hate on gen 8 all this thread was about was on why DTG is still holding onto gen 8 and if it's a good idea I wasn't basically demanding DTG to drop gen 8

    Except in 2025 a Gen 9 console doesn't cost 500, I'm sure most price sensitive gamers are not above buying used where PS5s can be found for under 300 and Xbox Series S's can be found for 170, the Series X makes no sense and is more expensive than a PS5 for some reason... We are only roughly 2 years from Gen 10s announcement, Gen 9 is kinda already long in the tooth.

    I assume you did read Matt Peddlesden's post? The one where he said that the length of routes isn't affected by the eight generation consoles?
    Manchester Airport Commuter and the Frankfurt S-Bahn are absolutely not 'basic routes' - the latter in particular is among the most demanding routes ever created for the game. Even the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the route are compromised; it needs to be run on a PC to reach its full potential.

    Just been reading through the comments in this thread. All I’m going to say is leave the lad alone. If you don’t agree with him, just say so. Trying to belittle or even bully him is not helping anyone. I’m not sure what is being gained by anyone carrying it on.

    Even though it's completely unrealistic I did still enjoy it for the drama. Nightsleeper (on the BBC a few months ago) is along the same lines; even less realistic but still good fun.

    So we have routes that, all of a sudden, this past year, need to be corner cut on gen 9 (route length. Timetable. Ai) or not available at all on gen 8, and yet dtg will continue to support the gen 8 model.

    So it’s just a money thing although what gen 8 players will get other than fixes or minor updates is anyone’s guess, although with no new content coming to gen 8 because of the above there won’t be much of that.

    Makes complete sense. Not.

    Yes, stop Gen 8 support! Money hungry DTG only wants Gen 8 players so they can give away more free starter packs and make zero money from it. They just want to gain more money without any extra effort.
    Why let them have the upcoming optimization and remaster updates?
    Gen 8 only holds back the development and leaving Gen 8 behind would absolutely solve no problems at all.
    I mean its not that hard to spend 300+ bucks on a Gen 9 console, is it?
    Cant be as hard as reading Matt P´s statement regarding the Gen 8 topic, which would explain perfectly why they decided to keep Gen8.

    Makes complete sense. Not.

    I think some of you have had too much internet today. Enjoy the sun, drink plenty of water and put some sunscreen on.
