If you want German and UK trains this is for you, the "World" in Train Sim World is a blatant lie. But this isn't anything special for DTG, lying to care about the interests of their paying customers is a daily occurrence!

Pretty much just the same as TSW 3, and TSW 2, oh and TSW 2020 but with minimal features added. The base game has little to no content and heavily relies on additional DLC which DoveTail has been increasing the price aggressively over the years. But better yet! Want to play older DLC that you've bought previously? Too bad! you get a buggy mess. These bugs depend on what the older content was, European and UK content generally have half of their bugs patched, but of course still a buggy mess.

Oh, do you like content from the US? Well DTG doesn't care! North America has a handful of routes and content, but most of which remain old and buggy. Want certain features for your routes and content? DTG says "its not possible" but really they mean they don't give a damn.

This DLC micro-transaction business model will be the downfall of the TSW franchise. It can be helpful, allowing players to choose which content to buy and which to ignore, but recently DTG has began to downgrade the quality of their DLC route scenery but still sell for the same 20-40 USD and in some cases for a higher price. Essentially you receive a product with less quality and quantity for more of your money.

Hoping the Dovetail higher-ups can prioritize the quality and reputation of their game and start treating their customers with respect and not like worthless vermin, its not like the opinions and views buyers have on your product effect your sales (sarcasm.)

Anyway see y'all for TSW 5!
