Cheaper Dlc’s

Bryer · Feb 5, 2021

I find the price of locos only a tad high on Xbox £11.99 is a strange price. £9.99 would be better, but that's just me.

I'd personally pay for a "Loco/train season pass" where you pay £30-£35 for a pack of 5 loco's trains that are added on throughout the year.

Personally I think the price of the DLCs is less of a problem and more the frequency of the sales. I have rarely paid full price for a Train Simulator DLC for a few years now simply because of how often sales are and how cheap things can get - trains for often £1.49 and entire routes for £4.99. TSW has less sales on consoles, and when they do they're still very expensive. Having the prices depreciate over time would work as new routes are often much more advanced than the newer ones, but really the prices themselves are too expensive from the outset. Very few, routes, if any, are worth the full £24.99, especially when routes in TS often go for £14.99 and are longer and have more to do. Having more than one train each time is an upgrade over TS, but we really shouldn't be paying extra for things that should have been included in the first place. Imagine if they'd released SEHS with just a Class 376. Sure, they are run by Southeastern, but not on that route (hello GEML, with your Class 360, which doesn't even run on that route), then charged £11.49 for the 375 and 395.

It doesn't help that TSW DLCs have so little replay value. I have played almost every scenario I own in TSW2020 (I haven't got TSW2) and there's nothing else to do, since the services are just the same thing over and over again, the collectibles are stupid and the trophies are either too hard to get or impossible to get, with DTG (and Rivet Games) refusing to fix them.

yer especially as tsw original is still selling for 24.99, and the old dlc full price, not massivly but i think some sort of reduction for at least the preserved colection + tsw 2020

How often they have a sale and how much they can discount is out of their hands. Its ostensibly dictated to them by the owners of the platform they have their products on. I'm sure if they could offer the same kind of reductions on XBox that they do on Playstation and PC then they would, but it's going to be Microsoft stopping them from doing this, not a decision by Dovetail themselves.

Yes, a CM said that to me once

It would be nice to have more sales on Xbox, but that's out of DTG hands and is down to Microsoft. I can resonate with the younger players who don't have the money to pay for full price routes, I was once in that situation myself with a lot of things at that age. Although, now I'm older and work full time money isn't a constraint, it'd be nice to have similar sales to those that are on steam, but I can't complain at £25 for a route when I get so much replay value out of them.

Why not the other way around? I'd pay €30 for a pack with the BR101, Cab Car and IC layers to HRR, RRO and HMA.

The class 360 ran on the GEML from when they were new in 2004 all the way up until last month when the last of the Greater Anglia class 360s were transferred to Eaat Midlands Railway.

Amazon sells stuff cheap because the majority of stuff you see in your search results are mass made in China, a decent product from a reputable brand would be the same as it costs anywhere else.

It’s an unequivocally bad comparison to making a Train Simulator DLC.

Ok sorry

Cheaper Dlc’s

Do you think tsw2 dlc could be a little cheaper

I am happy with the standard price for a route (£24.99)

I think £20.00 would be a better price for a route
