Third time's the charmSome newbie driver wrote: ↑02 Nov 2021 17:54 @Mohegan13 isn't said in english too that third is the good try?
@Aziz fair too... But DLCs cost around 18€ for a lot of months long time after their release (now 10% off in Iberia for example, still over 15€)... While the base game is at 4.99€ on sale several times a year. So, the chances you will find the most published DLC at triple the price of the base game is very high. It doesn't seem they are so much concerned about that.

I agree that Iberia was a missed opportunity for SCS to up the price to $20. More than that is untenable I think but $20 for Iberia is more than fair, and I assume HoR will follow suit in being worth much more than $18.
With regards to Going East, I think they could up the price for it after a rework, but for those of us that already bought it then there's no way SCS is getting more money for it. It's just too tricky logistically and from a customer relations perspective. Not worth burning bridges over it. But if Going East ever got a California level rework, then they could easily bring the price up to $12 for Going East and make the sale price higher too. After all, if the goal of reworking the base map is to get more people to buy map DLCs, then it is wise to have the map DLCs be attractive compared to the base map as well.
If Going East gets a Germany-level rework, then a price increase won't be justifiable IMO. Then it would be better for SCS to just add it to the base map. The $3 per person that they would get from it on-sale is probably not worth the opportunity cost of not having more content in the base map to further entice players to buy more recent (i.e. more expensive) map DLCs.
We will see with the Austria rework (and future Germany city reworks) what quality level SCS is shooting for. So far it looks like it will continue to fall short of the California rework but they may up their game a bit.
