    Or this could be nothing more than an illustration of what happens behind the scenes many times that we never see. This time there was communication in the form of an announcement of a stream they hoped to have but unfortunately ended up not having, as opposed to no announcement of an unconfirmed stream. So communication about potential activity or no communication, what do people prefer?

    Are the financials of DTG public? In that case we can see how they did last year. But I'm not surprised about the cancellation of MR, actually I think it was a smart move to cancel it now and not invest even more money in it. Back to your core products and products you customers expect is the right thing to do.

    Well the conversation with Harry on Discord points to it being to hot for people to be livestreaming tomorrow as the reason for cancelling.

    Too hot for a live stream?
    I wonder what these people think of construction workers, road construction workers, city bus drivers, or any other job that doesn't involve sitting in front of a monitor with the air conditioning on?
    Is there still someone in charge over there, or is everyone sending out resumes here and there in an attempt to change jobs?

    Pull up Entertainment does and according to them last year saw revenue 280.5 million EUR.

    Key Drivers

    Major Titles: Driven by strong performance from titles such as Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and Train Sim World 5.

    So I'm sure they are doing pretty well for themselves.

    I’ve been defending DTG all evening but that excuse is just lame, buy a bloody fan or hire an AC unit.

    I'm sorry, but as in real life, it's not the numbers that count but the management.

    Yeah we don’t have air con in homes in the UK. Until recently it hasn’t been considered necessary for the one week of warm weather a year

    And what do you do in the UK when it's hot?
    Do you cease to exist?

    Most of us roll our sleeves up, moan a bit, put the kettle on & have a cup of tea and get on with our lives. DTG on the other hand live in an entirely different world it seems.

    Pretty much. See also snow, drought, wind. The only thing we are well set up for is rain.

    and if TSW6 flopped this year then all of a sudden the outlook is very different. Especially if they haven’t had other big releases over the last 12 months

    Your kidding its only 30°C or 86°F.

    We've been at 30° for weeks here and usually are around 35° for the summer.

    How cold do you get in the winter? We average aroun -20° with the occasional -40°.

    Man you guys would die out here.

    One does take a train to the beach. And probably get one's feet cut or broken on all those pebbles.
    Does happen in Germany too, but with lakes that were formerly quarries, unless one lives close to our coasts in the north.
    Or take an overcrowded train with a broken or overwhelmed AC to the coasts and then walk on sandy beaches. And probably cut, but not break, one's feet on sea shells or get stung by jellyfish.

    All jokes and jabs aside, just air the office out, live streams start in the evening and sometimes last until late at night. Can't be that hot by then in the office or flat or house anymore. I have to do video calls at the office or from home office too in any weather and temperatures.

    But, as I said on the previous page, I don't care much for those at the moment. I'll chime in on my two followed German TSW streamers when they're in the mood for a stream.

    While I don't care about that stream, I'm still in a talkative mood, so I'll contribute to this discussion anyway ;)

    We aren’t all as soft as Harry I can promise you. Most of us actually don’t have the luxury to take the day off work just for a bit of sun.

    I'll second that, we've only hit 32oC so far here on the Essex coast so far. I don't care if we've broken the local record temperature for May, it's simply not hot enough for my liking.

    I should reiterate, if any TSW developers need someone to travel to a tropical country to do some research, I'm your man.

    Come to think of it...
    Today I worked with a colleague of mine, Matthew, a Cornish native and Tottenham supporter, who was rather listless because of the heat.:)

    The clue in that bit was "Tottenham supporter", I expect they're all exhausted after a season like that.

    Yes, they are but only the full accounts to March 2025. The full year accounts to March 2026 are due to be filed by 31 December 2026.

    Don’t forget though DTG is part of Pullup Entetainment (formerly Focus) which has a three part corporate structure of which DTG is part of their “Studios Division”.

    I really hope that every one at DTG sits at home with the power & water off consuming absolutely nothing, after all if its too hot for them to work why on earth should they expect anyone else in the UK to work including those in our emergency services or utilities companies?

    Its an absolute P take.

    Harry stated it was hot in the office. At no point did she say that was the reason for the cancellation. In fact on the DTG website there are photos of their Chatham offices showing.... ceiling-mounted A/C units all over the place. Unless their A/C is broken, I think we can confidently assume office temperature is not the reason for the cancellation.

    Dont think she works at the office in Chatham. Based at home like most of staff their nowadays. In fact, a quick look at the careers page and their HR dept. actively promote & encourage working from home.

    Wasn't necessarily talking about pulling the stream, but the silence in general. Just trying to keep up hope :)

    I understand that it's disappointing that the stream is cancelled, but when you look at some of the comments, it's like it's the end of the world... :|
    Between those who make comparisons which make no sense and those who think it's due to the heat when we have no proof (just speculation) and they say strange things...

    I think some people really need to find a hobby!

    This was completely predictable as was the reaction to it. As usual people get worked up.

    Maybe whatever they were streaming was found to have issues, and was cancelled. Something the community in another life would applaud, however when they do, do it, there is uproar, from the usual suspects.

    There seem to be many professionally offended on here making up scenarios in their head.

    Get a grip for goodness sake.

    It’s actually disrespectful that they expect others (including their customers) to do manual hard graft keeping their power on in 35 degrees or care workers going round to peoples homes (maybe even one of their loved ones)and giving them quality of life and that they shouldn’t be subjected to having to sit on stream for an hour because it’s too hot. But yeah I’m just over reacting aren’t I. Maybe tomorrow I won’t be arsed to get your power back on because the sun is strong and see how you ficking like it then

    It seems a very weak excuse. And if that's really the issue, then they could have just put up a written press release to reveal the purpose instead.

    May not be due to the effect of the heat on the people so much as the computers and streaming equipment. I've seen a few Twitch streams get wonky and have to end (or get involuntarily ended) due to the electronics overheating on hot days.

    No snow flakes crying about a bit of heat and calling off work because they are slightly uncomfortable is an overreaction. Calling them out for it is not

    You’re being ridiculous. Just because some jobs have tough working conditions doesn’t mean all jobs have to. If DTG have rescheduled due to the heat then that’s perfectly reasonable because it isn’t essential work.

    Valid reason imo. Not everyone is in the same "office" (home). UK homes don't have AC. Fans blow hot air around. I also don't fancy watching a livestream in sweltering heat or have an ice pack to my face waving a fan around. If CMs/devs are feeling too hot and exhausted to livestream then they shouldn't. They're human beings too working away behind the scenes. Their welfare should come first.

    Respectfully the heatwave we just had is unprecedented and not normal, especially in May as demonstrated by the records broken.

    It’s not unprecedented at all, yes it’s a record temp for this time of year but it’s not actually that hot. And if you opt to work from home then you a responsibility to ensure your work area is fit for purpose and is a safe working condition (as does your employer) 35 heat is not uncommon in the UK in summer so regardless of if it occurs in May or June/July you should be equipped for it not by crying off work.

    Those of you who use the slightest thing and turn it into an opportunity to have a dig at DTG.

    I just want you to know that your forced, entitled rages are hilarious. I'd hate to make anyone paranoid but when we used to get funny complaints in my office they would get posted on the team message board so that everyone could have a chuckle.

    I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing towards you.

    Incase you haven’t noticed the whole countries economy is going down the pan currently, people are workshy and any excuse not to be productive hurts not only their employers but the country as a whole.

    Yes, the UK economy is a mess because people are workshy. Can't possibly blame it on politicians, the wealth gap, inflation, house prices, a collapse in manufacturing, Brexit or any international geo-political issues.

    It's all the fault of people who are struggling to work on the hottest May day ever recorded in the UK.

    This is it. The slightest thing and it's let's bash DTG. These people can't see it though, I doubt they realise they are doing it.

    They are about to abandon TSW with it's myriad countries and routes spanning the last 40 years for a (excellent looking) 40km fictional Japanese route, of course, so they won't be on the forums for much Ionger presumably.

    I mean I'm not buying it as a valid excuse, get AC or something.

    That said - it's currently that hot in my man cave that I'm sat in just my kecks, with the fans on full blast and the rig isn't even doing anything strenuous yet so it's actually putting out cooler air than what's going in. I don't think the DTG guys and gals are up for doing a livestream in their underwear and that is understandable. But yeah, get some AC (my excuse is that I've not finished building my room up yet).

    Ah well, it was going to be a crock anyway whatever it was, probably more Thomas rubbish.
