I don't think their build is quite the same as my build where I've had to delete about two thirds of the DLC I own in order to be able to install...

I think there are some Gronk hauling jobs on Blackpool Branches?

Just give me a yard and a Gronk to do some shunting in. Or more of the little station pilot jobs where you go and pick up the loco from Paddington...

I'm not surprised. It sounds like a Sisyphean task.

All those wagons being spawned on a longer, busier route such as Milton Keynes to Crewe which doesn't run great on console as is from what I hear,...

I wonder whether some of it is having to get licences to use the liveries, and the fact that the layouts of some of the lines will have changed....

Does it work with the training centre? That could make for an interesting experience.

Is this preview stream on console to show them that all these silly remarks about how the game won't work on console and the console releases are...

Wasn't somebody keeping a spreadsheet of all the bugs etc and deleting them when they were fixed?

Yeah. They'll be working on getting the game into some state better than this, or they'll have started work on the huge December core update.

I'm sure I read somewhere that one of the three previews would be on console.

Will this one be previewed running during the day, on console?

Which route are they going to preview on XBox?

Is it not because that's when Microsoft's support opens in California so if/when it all goes to pot on XBox they have somebody they can contact...

Sometimes I'll use scenario planner to drive the whole route, stopping at each station and looking for things, putting the posters up etc without...

I also had a little look on Microsoft's marketing site and the information wasn't massively dissimilar. However, as I mentioned in my comment...

Some of these bugs and glitches are hold overs from far older versions of TSW as well. This series is almost ten years old, but there are still...

I first got TSW during the pandemic when I was unable to travel due to lockdown so it allowed me to travel vicariously. It also allows me to drive...

It's because that little glimpse of a fix being just around the corner will keep people buying the DLC, downloading the latest free version,...

If people think you're going to fix it they'll be more inclined to stick around and give you money while you tell them it's a harder job than you...

I do wonder whether there's more to it, but publishers on XBox also have to sign an NDA. It may be that while the price of the product can be...

It's always been about making money for the company and its shareholders, it just feels more egregious as the differences across different...

All they have to do is reach out to their Microsoft Contact and say they want to run a sale.

All we need is a preview stream on each console to show how it runs.

If they rely on that money the least they can do is provide a product that works properly and is worth the money.

Yeah, they're quite literally the only game in town in console unless you want to play any number of shovelware "train driver simulator 2026...

This could be good, but how do you start it? As a dispatcher or a guard until you've got enough XP from good services to be allowed to drive a...

It really does feel like "pay your money, take your chance". You can't really go for the free update as you can't gauge whether the live weather...

DLC was also £25 in 2022 for TSW3, and allowing for inflation from then the price would only be £29 odd, so we're above inflation if we're working...

I have been enjoying TSC on my laptop, and some of the DLC on there is incredibly reasonably priced, plus there's such a variety of locations.

That might have been how I ended up with it. I've slept since then. It is a fun route. I remember sticking a 166 on it when the scenario planner...

Same thing as happened when Rush Hour came out. Was suddenly unplayable on XBox.

I'm sure they'll look into it once they've dealt with all the other bugs.

Yeah. New bugs to distract from the old, unfixed bugs isn't really how it's supposed to work, but some people have sunk hundreds of pounds into...

I'm sure they are, but I've also seen people comment on here that on console some of the newer DLC is unplayable and causes crashes when they try...

I'd be well up for your showcasing the work done behind the scenes and more recognition for these unsung heroes. It could also go a little way...

Incomes don't tend to rise in line with inflation, though. I'm sure more than a few people will have been priced out of these price increases.

The problem is that games companies tend to cut costs by laying off staff, and less staff isn't going to fix the problem, unless the problem is...

TSW3 DLCs were also £25 in 2022, which equates to only £29.32 nowadays.

It's the whole "look at these amazing new graphics and these things we have coming. Wishlist and pre-order it now on Steam and the Epic Game...

The thing is that if they do drop console support they're also dropping at least half their revenue stream, and it'll take more than a couple of...

Triple A games tend to work, and have the same features across all their platforms.

Wait for a sale? On XBox? Here comes another round of "Microsoft won't let us have a sale" while Microsoft say "all they have to do is tell us...

DLC has been £32.99 for a while now, at least for the TSW6 stuff. There's still content on the XBox store from older games that was priced lower,...

DLC was priced at that for TSW6. Wait until sales numbers drop because of how little has changed on console and they have to nudge them up to £35...

If they did drop console completely they'd lose between half and two thirds of their TSW revenue stream though, which would be a big hit. Plus...

That Northern 158 can theoretically layer into Hadfield & Glossop, and Manchester Airport Commuter. Heck you could timetable some in to run all...

All they'd need to do is a stream on PC to show off all those fancy features, a stream on a base PS5 and a stream on a Series S. But rather than...

I think NTP was the first DLC I ever bought for TSW2020 during the pandemic.

Presumably it's because they don't want the expense of proper console development, so just do a bare minimum and then reap the benefits of being...
