I created a survey players can fill in to vote for their favourite pieces of content, devs, content creators etc. It's like The Game Awards but.....TSW. Please note ALL VOTING IS ANONYMOUS and emails are not gathered nor should you have to create a Google Account to vote. The deadline is next week when I'll be sharing the results. This is all for fun and is in no way supposed to be taken too seriously. Have fun https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1...E3JWJNPMQ2VYWprdW6xRTLs3g/viewform?usp=dialog
What’s with leaving out west coast main line 1980s on the uk best route section also really only the one us route and not even a good one at that
Kinda ridiculous you have to answer some questions such as best US route (which there's only one anyway) or German route when I own neither.
Whilst the having to vote in each category wasn't that big of a deal for me personally, (since I played all three core routes this year), I can't help but feel an N/A or None option might have helped with the above post
Hey everyone thank you for those who have answered so far, there has been 132 responses as of right now. I have just made an update in response to some of your feedback, unfortunately I cannot allow multiple responses without forcing people to sign in to google so if you've already done the survey I don't believe you'll be able to take it again. My apologies for that. Firstly I have made every question optional, I wrongly assumed this was enabled by default but it was not so that's my bad. I have also added an additional option to every question if you don't own certain content. Lastly in regards to the "Best US Route" question obviously it's not intended to be serious just a light-hearted jab at the fact we only got one US route released in 2025, just a reminder that this is all for a bit of fun at the end of the day and these "awards" don't really mean anything. Thank you to those who voted and there's still plenty of time to vote if you haven't already https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1...E3JWJNPMQ2VYWprdW6xRTLs3g/viewform?usp=dialog
I never ever thought I'd see the day I voted for anything Rivet related... But the majority of my answers for UK content was for Rivet products from this year! And again I never ever thought I'd see the day I compliment Rivet, but I think they deserve recognition for the turn around their company has done this year and I attribute a lot of that to Tyler. But fair play to them and credit where it is due and all of that!
The votes have been counted and verified, thank you to all those who participated I will now reveal the results with the route of the year coming in last for dramatic effect. Best Loco Addon: Class 220 Voyager Best Gameplay Pack: WMR & XC Class 170 Pack Best UK Route: Riviera Line Best German Route: Mittenwaldbahn Best US Route: Morristown (shocking I know) Best Debut Release: Manchester Airport Commuter Best Independent Developer: Johannes Hartmann Best Content Creator: Train Sim Society Most Anticipated Route: GWE Remaster Most Anticipated Loco/Gameplay pack: Class 90 and finally... The Best Route of 2025 is: Riviera Line Overall 212 responses were collected. Thank you for playing and see you next year
Really good survey thank you for doing this. What is even more hilarious is the fact the best content creator is a NO DTG Ambassador lol. That says alot
Best creator being TSS is very interesting! I think a few ambassadors might not be thrilled with that one lol.
Agreed. He’s putting the work in no doubt. Content is well produced, objective but also clearly exhibits his passion on the subject. If he doesn’t like something he’s very elaborate and given that most of his complaints are centered around DTGs questionable quality standards that stretch across several “annual releases” I think most if not all are well warranted. No clue what ambassadors even are other than folks simping for DTG so they get to play with digital trains for free. Some of them- anyway.
I can honestly say I have never been interested in any of the ambassador streams but watch TSS and enjoy his content. Perhaps one way DTG could save a bit of money is to stop giving ambassadors free content. DTG do the early preview streams which is more than enough for people see a route being shown off. What exactly do ambassadors do that the DTG preview streams which does not do. I wonder how many of these so called loyal ambassadors would actually BUY the content and still stream it if they didn’t get it for free. Gurantee not all of them.
Regarding best content creator TSS actually got 3x more votes than second place so yeah he's very popular
Some more fun stats: Ludwigsbahn was the least popular route in all categories. Riviera Line won best UK route by a landslide it wasn't even close. Both Mittenwaldbahn and Frankfurt S-bahn were very close with Mittenwald just beating it for best German route and 2nd best route overall.
Might shake the boat with this one, but if he didn't change his content and kept doing what he was doing I think he'd actually make a very good ambassador. With what he does and the way he does it I think it'd actually be quite good for the game. Do I think DTG would go for that however? Probably not
