    Well DTG always make sure the UK gets all the glory with timetables, while giving US passenger content dead timetables(then gives us goofy excuses later on)

    Why? It's an ideal wishlist route for a sale. 50% timetable for 50% price, only fair. :)

    Heh, it's already 25% off.
    I feel for people who bought this on launch day.... the sales hit sooner than essential fixes.

    No offense, but to be honest, if someone bought this route at launch, it's on them. It was clear a week before launch that this route is unfinished and they already admitted to not wanting to improve it.

    DTG would rather discount than repair.
    It's like buying "cheap" junk on ebay.

    My first and only Day One purchase: the US Special Bundle. A total RRP of 161.94 euro, acquired for a fraction of that.
    At the time, I didn't own any of the included routes, with Boston Sprinter and Sherman Hill on my wish list.
    I do not regret it: although some of the content has obvious issues, there's plenty to enjoy.

    There’s really no point going on about the timetable - unfortunately.

    If a 30 page thread, and the worst reviews we’ve seen on Steam in a long time, doesn’t persuade them to consider a proper timetable, then I don’t know what will.

    They’re clearly proud and happy of the release, apparently it sold very well according to a DTG employee on the TSC Discord, and that’s what matters to them.

    I got a 46% off by picking up with the complete my collection option on the US mega bundle on steam. At that price I don't feel ripped off but I'm still not sure I'd consider value for money.

    To be fair, the TSC 700 sold very well but since then it’s been set ablaze in the reviews.

    They’ll always make sales on release, their misleading marketing makes sure of that - if they are happy for their products to only sell on one day & then on sales then let them have it.

    It doesn’t look good for anyone who comes along a couple of months after or whenever & looks at buying it, so that’s where they’ll lose out.

    If it "sold very well" it wouldn't already be 25% off.

    Yeah I don’t really believe it myself - given Trenton has worse reviews than Oakville (TSW2020 store page) and Arosa (TSW2 store page) on steam - but it’s their words not mine :)

    There's a difference between selling very well and actually been a good route and given what you said regarding reviews, that's what's happened. People have purchased the route, played it and given it a rating as appropriate. Unfortunately, once DTG have got their money, they couldn't give a damn.

    Maybe we will see a patch, maybe not, one thing for sure it will go down into the abyss with the likes of the LIRR and with the Penn station curse……. With a dismal timetable…..could had been one of the greats…….

    Well 3 stars would certainly make me look twice at something.

    They proud of the lazy and half baked attempt of that route, and the excuse was they ran out of time, couldn't put a full timetable...DTG DOESNT care for US passenger content...They still be doing improper research as usual....but as long as the UK and German routes get all the glory, DTG continues to ruin us content(possibly freight too)....oh hows Peninusla Corridor still???

    I can buy it right now with a 55% off because I have everything else in a bundle, and I'm still not going to buy it.

    I used to buy the routes the first day it came out.What I have learn after the NYT route was ,wait for the big discount. And I did.. If they are are going to say they ran out of time or it is what it is, If you don’t like don’t buy. It I took their advice……
