Any reason why Niddertalbahn and Midland Main Line have been excluded DTG? I have both routes but just wondered when everything else is in the sale including Peak Forest released later, I find it strange! Did Steam just forget to post a discount or is there a reason?
I don't know how the sale is structured from a revenue perspective (i.e. who's taking haircuts between Valve/publisher/developer), but could be reasons like (and possibly a combination of them): - Third party not wanting/financially able to take lower revenue per unit sold (DTG being publisher + developer on their own content means they can probably afford a tighter margin) - Third party hasn't yet hit a sales target of x units at RRP to pay off the investment in the product - The third party considers the content strong enough (NID definitely, MML a bit less so with the current reviews on Steam, although on these forums we know that Jane has been doing their best to make things right) that they don't need to drop the price now to keep driving sales - and more I've not thought of....
TBH after picking up 3 routes with Humble Bundle plus Glossop yesterday, got more than enough to keep me going. Might drop a fiver on the 1938 stock now that Rivet have purportedly improved the sounds at least for the player train. However with the Class 700 looking imminent and the possibility we will get three good new routes drop in the summer bundle I would rather hang on to my Steam credit for that.
I must admit - I have splashed out on the few remaining routes I didn't have that were in the sale - I'm only missing Niddertalbahn now... (of whats released anyway) - these steam sales are dangerous!
