So many people doing market research... I wonder why. Bored? https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/poll-tsw5-what-version-do-you-buy.84383/
If I get any version, it’ll be the Standard FREE version. I had the Deluxe version on pre-order until the shambles that is WCML was shown to us.
You missed out "none", as well as the fact this poll is already running on the forum. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/poll-tsw5-what-version-do-you-buy.84383/#post-892120
if people must know, i’ll explain it briefly. i’m doing a bunch of small surveys and the impact of marketing techniques as part of my A Level coursework
Free on the PC, then I'll get the gamepass version for free on my series S. Ah very interesting, good luck. May I suggest adding the options of the free version to this poll and then in every other poll (and this one) you may do a 'none' or 'other' option is included.
Free version, will wait on a well developed route from the likes of Just Trains before I pay anymore money.
Interesting. But what does this poll tell you exactly - as the individual choice not only depends on the offering, but the personal DLC library of each voter. If you don't know that, I can't see the poll giving any useful data.
But It's not really free on Game Pass, as you have to have a subscription on Xbox ! And then anytime in the future when you decide to end your sub or go to say CORE, you lose access to your game, even if you have purchased additional DLCs \o/
i’ve added it, tbh when i made the poll i didn’t think anyone would say none as i don’t see any reason not to get the starter pack, but fair enough if lots of people aren’t getting anything
But you haven’t got the free starter pack in the poll either. You need to put every option possible in a proper poll. There is a free starter edition and it has been marketed prominently. Game Pass isn’t on it either and that is also another valid option for some players. These are all in the marketing for TSW5 but not in the poll.
it appears i’ve cocked up the options a little bit, i’ve added the starter pack as an option too. that should be all of them now
Well, for no extra cost to myself. I already have and pay the game pass thing so I will not be spending any money on TSW itself, just taking advantage of a thing I have already paid for and would pay for anyway. Good point, but I will claim the starter pack on the Xbox before downloading it with Gamepass, so if it leaves in a couple of months I will still have access to the core without paying a penny. By then I won't have any need for WCCL as WCML would have come along and I'll be doing some proper driving on a well made route.
Standard edition. I already have the routes in the Special pack. I don't want the trains in the Deluxe pack. So really I'm just getting the SBD and WCML in a bundle for pretty cheap. Basically it's like buying a "bundle" sale at a solid discount.
