    Well, DTG just announced NEC New York - Stamford is releasing tomorrow???? Not sure how I feel about them having to post pone a preview stream becuase a problem was occurring that was so bad even DTG couldn't miss it, then proceed to announce it's releasing three days after they that. Is anyone else a bit worried?

    it seems the brake bug was easy to fix and test (and all in time for today's core update and tomorrow's release)

    ya i think the m8 breaks won't be fixed on release and i think there something about dtg yearly quota review or something coming up so there releasing as much dlc before the deadline to see how well they did or are doing as a company.

    I don't see it that way since NEC is the only DTG product so that would be the only item officially in their budget.

    The last DTG release was Stuttgart so thats 3 months since the last route they did. The remasters they don't make money off of.

    As for 3rd parties I'm pretty sure they want to start seeing some $$$ pretty quickly after they are done the project.

    Same it seems DTG just focus on the next release in the number chain for the annual DTG "surprise announcement" and let the 3rd parties do the rest of the releases now giving all releases go through DTG unlike TSC where a developer could release a route etc through its own store only.

    Quite right, extra add-ons like we’ve seen for the ECW and Liam’s farewell pack on GWE.v2.
    There’s got to be some extra pocket money for DTG if they’re going to remaster a route.
