    So, the main point of the thread was literally a single question, given with context.

    Nobody said "DTG Sucks". We love DTG, we just wish that their software was free from minor and major defects - just to remind you, here's the question in question:

    "As a customer of Train Simulator, if something you've purchased is broken, would you rather wait indefinitely for a "proper solution" to fix the broken software (no timescales given), or would you be happy with an interim solution that fixes the broken software while a "proper solution" is being worked on?"

    To clarify further:

    The "real/proper solution" has no delivery timescales, may never be done due to a plethora of reasons (ultimately, the proper solution is not attainable due to non-software orientated complexities).

    The interim solution fixes the problem, like using scaffolding to improve the customer experience.

    Thanks to everyone who gave their thoughts in relation to this! :D

    Did you not read my post discussing the standards DTG has clearly chosen to aspire to?

    But that also suggests to DTG/AP/Whatever that they can get 1350+ people to buy their product without even putting the full effort in because someone is just gonna patch it for free anyway.

    It's an AI chatbot. They haven't figured the concept of time out yet

    Hello everyone,

    going to close this thread as it has turned into people accusing others of necroing by continuing to necroing and derailing.
    For future reference, as long as a necro post adds to the conversation, or maybe even helps solving a problem, there's nothing wrong with that.
    If it is obvious spam please just report and leave it for the Community team to sort out, no need to continue a non-constructive conversation.

    All the best,
    Jan
