    The ones sharing the info about the accidental free class 52 loco DLC and Cajon Pass... even if that mistake has apparently been undone now since Cajon Pass is not on my TSW4 anymore, why have you guys just deleted mine and the other guys' threads about it? Instead of clarifying it? DTG JD

    I'm going to hazard a guess they're being extra cautious due to the leak earlier this year (which likely already put them in hot water).

    weird reason if so, but fair enough.

    We've removed it because they were unintended exploits. They've been resolved now.

    weird enough since that "exploit" was pretty much automatic, and apparently resolved as you said, but whatever.

    Is a screwup at the server end rather than client-side really an "exploit"? Surely it's only an exploit if it requires input from the player to accomplish, rather than happening without their knowledge or consent.

    There was a post in the thread that had a suggestion on how to keep it when not actually purchased I think (unknown whether it would work)

    well if it's copying the DLC elsewhere, you can do it with any DLC, and it's nothing new. thats how mods work too

    If it's what I think it is (Not going to give details for bad actors), people have been accidentally stumbling on that one for years, unintentionally as a side effect of something innocent.

    If it is indeed that, then I thought DTG had finally got round to sorting out the file management side with Steam.

    Not to mention the risk of playing something you don’t own could trigger an achievement which then flags on Steam as using the game fraudulently, bye bye Steam account and all the other games you own.

    Steam don't seem interested. My kid got a mod for ats and ets complete dlc exploit. I removed it and contacted steam about it and didn't even get a reply!
