Dtg’s New Ip’s Speculation Thread

Looking at the trademarks site, I notice there is also another newer trademark also in the works “Train Sim Club” (in status Pre-publication) dated 14 July 2025.

 

Now that does have something of a multiplayer ring about it.

 

Why is that giving me the feeling that we are going to get a subscription service like train simulator for train sim world 6 As the name reminds me of that Hornby Collector's club or whatever it's called. Which I hope we don't get as one for console players like myself, having accessing to a ton of free routes would use up all my Xbox hard drive space. Two I don't think it's appropriate within the current cost of living crisis as DTG will up the price if it's not profitable for them and currently for Train sim it costs 16.99 AUD per month for a limited amount of dlc which isn't worth it. If at the end of the year I'm paying way more than I yearly spend on discounted routes which aren't usually holy grail level of quality (Except WCMLOS). When for many there are more important things people have to pay for,

 

So a multiplayer subscription service... which would be the way to fund any sort of server set up to support it.

 

I've just started dipping into Car Mechanic Sim, and it occurs to me that a train mechanic sim that let us work on this large variety of international rolling stock would be fun. And since DTG already has everything implemented in detail for TSW, they'd (presumably) have a large head start in adapting it for a workshop setting.
