I still prefer what they do instead of doing an EA

[Esproquet]

I was thinking about EA the other day and how outdated their in-game news feed is in most of their games (and so have been for ages). Luckily that doesnt't happen to SCS tittles.

because the game is abandoned after one year if nor earlier for the next replacement title

when it comes to EA,The Next Title is ready before the release of the current title.

This year's FIFA should be great. PLay half a season then sit around twiddling thumbs for 4 months.

without any fans in the stadium

There are also a ton of trailers in ETS2. Covering both trucks and trailers is perhaps even more time consuming all at once.

Erm, no. There's like two "one size fits all" boxes, with tiny height differences for SM/Krone trailers, and a couple of accessories (sideguards and paintable cooler units), that's about it. Oh, and food tanks, which are... meh, couldn't care less about those.
They did it this way because they can get away with it. It's just a sensible business decision, "minimally viable product" and all that.

[xXCARL1992Xx]

there are no "minor hight differences", the templates for the boxes dont fit 1:1 over each other, why they did it like that and not just coordinated between the people to make the templates at least overlapping i dont know

[J.Random]

Probably because they were made at different times. All the more reason to overhaul them (after agreeing to a single texture mapping standard). But I guess it's too much work with zero return (can't even hype it up since visually it would stay the same and who cares what's under the hood), so... same business decision.

i dont mean between SCS and Schwarzmüller/Krone, i mean between SCS boxes alone already
