Which area in ETS2 should be reworked next ?

But then, they sell Iberia the same price than any previous DLC in past 4years or more; despite the inflation and that Iberia has double the content approx.

Iberia may be as large as the base map now (and the price tag is the same as the game itself) but then I believe the playerbase is still growing, right? So they earn more without changing the price, even despite the inflation.
It may be a good idea but then, as I said, GE would have to be vastly expanded. More roads, more cities, among usual improvements.

I would like to see a blog today about the reskine of Austria with new pictures, after exactly three months it would be great to get this blog

Well, Iberia isn't as big as the base map, but it's for sure near double the size of what was Baltic, Black Sea, Italy or VLF at launch (this last one has grown a lot with time). A lot more roads and a lot more detailed means a lot more work had to be done (not to mention the delay of 4 months and everything such a delay can cause). So, a LOT more costs that require a LOT more sales than previous DLC.

Of course they know what they do and they have the numbers and if it worth for them, it's OK. But IMHO, they let pass an opportunity to just say "Iberia is more expensive because it has a lot more content. Point" and if people isn't grown enough to understand it is their problem, not SCS problem. Nothing prevents them to return to "regular" price for future DLCs that should be about the size of the ones we had before Iberia. To let more clear that fact that price goes with the amount of content offered.

In Belgium, they really should add Antwerp... I'm not from Belgium but only 2 cities for this country is quite a disgrace...

Fair, but I think there's a certain psychological barrier for a lot of people - when dlc is more expensive than the game itself. They are on the edge on that and the sales would drop A LOT if it happened. I don't care personally as I've never paid full price for any part of the game, but many players would object. It may not be noticeable for us, as there are tons of people with unconditional love for the game so they buy anything they see, but the rest? Let's say that steam reviews wouldn't be as sweet.

The prediction didn't work out for me again, I stop understanding the logic of scs when publishing news, we got a blog with irritating images of reworked Austria, (1.8.) Since then no news about reskin Austria, scs doesn't want to publish any news about this reworking, then I don't understand why 1.8. teased by a blog about Austria

I found the logic a couple of days ago. Looking at the polls we've had over the last few years, what we get is nearly always the 3rd most wanted option on the poll.

@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.

That is because of their age. The older a product is, the more often it will go on sale. Or the base price drops. I was genuinely surprised when I found Road to the Black Sea at -70% or whatever a week ago, absolutely did not expect it to get such a huge discount that soon. They can afford larger sales when most of the revenue is already gained (though that would explain why it got -70% already, last and this year people have been spending much, much more time at home, so, buying and playing games). You know, and probably have heard like new famous titles earn millions within months or even weeks after the release? And then the income slows down. Same happens here. But sales are sales. Standard price is what matters. But since it doesn't change, and I doubt it will anytime soon - because, again, if they lower the price of the game for whatever reason, same would've happened to dlcs. Simple PR.
Shall we head back to reworks perhaps? I feel like this is going slightly offtopic.

I think your right it is going a little off topic. As for price, I am lucky the cost is not important to me, but given that SCS really is a small indie developer who create neich games, I am happy to pay them even for content that I care less about. I make it a habit to buy skins and stuff simply to provide some more revenue so that SCS can rework the UK and other areas.
