Enough Is Enough!!! The Ongoing Saga!!! 2 Year Anniversary

Trouble at mill?

 

I'm not surprised by this. I've been a long time TSW user (over 6 years), but since I upgraded to the free starter pack of TSW 6 when it launched I've only played TSW for 11 hours. None of those hours were in the last month. I'm glad I didn't buy any of the TSW 6 content because I feel I've definitely given up on TSW. I've had my fun with previous editions, but if nothing changes at how DTG is leaving their playerbase hanging with a game full of bugs, I won't be hanging around here for much longer.

 

Despite denials to the contrary I still feel there was a sea change when Focus Entertainment took over. But still, you would think they would be exercising a bit more oversight particularly at the highest level in DTG and the TSW operation to restore order.

 

imo, dtg acquisition by focus entertainment only made things worse... but that's just my opinion

 

There’s definitively been a conscious decision to cram as many variants of existing trains we already have out there. Now we’re getting quite pricey dlc that is little more than a repaint and/or move a few nuts and bolts around, even populating new routes which never used to be a thing. These days truly new trains seem to be at a premium.
I do think there has been a sea change since the French company took over, it’s seems more about maximising profits now than anything else, and that’s where the recycling existing trains over and over has come from.
There’s a hell of a lot of units on British railways that haven’t been done, many of which would layer onto other routes, and it is these I’d like to see get more attention.

 

I think changes to the forum are due to Focus, but honestly I feel like people are wearing rose-tinted glasses if they think the DTG of old acted a whole lot differently. They've always been allergic to variety since TSC, the tendency toward "the big three" countries has been a thing even under RSC, the lack of non-BR steam routes has always been a thing too. So has things like reuse of existing content, and lack of oversight on QA, remember the state infamous state of Donner Pass anyone?

 

Wasn't DP and some other content released round that time outsourced to some Mumbay code farm for finishing?
