Next ATS truck speculation

[poozykrem]

Such people always can be found in good communities, just like a fly in the ointment. I'm not a fan of such contemporary truck design either (mack did it better IMO), but I still respect others' opinion, just the way people choose their taste

Would be interested if Peterbilt 587 is added to the game, but maybe not. Its a retired Model! (2010 - 2016)

I'm afraid it's not coming there since it's not produced nowadays

I think all currently produced trucks should make ATS regardless of looks. I am not fond of all but if its current, its not about what I like. Someone else may like it. The Lonestar grew on me. I am still not a huge fan of it but I can respect it a lot more now. If SCS got a license for it before it went out of production, but haven't released it yet, I think SCS should still be granted rights to it. Once they are in, I do think SCS should look into older models if manufacturers allow it. I'd so start with a K100. Overfloater's model can pass already for a vanilla ATS model. The US doesn't have cabovers any more but there is still a lot of love for COE's. Every time I see @poozykrem's signage, it always reminds me of getting a Classic trucks in SCS games as paid dlc. I know they'd sell. Charge 4.99 just like the trailer packs. Or since they are a bit more evolved, charge 5.99 to 7.99. People will them. Do one as a test and see how it goes. If one sells plan another. If that sells, I think we get our answer than people want them. Make 3-4 and you can buy as a bundle dlc pack.

Maaaan, i wouldn't mind paying even ten bucks for such DLC, If such addition came out, it would definitely cost its money

Is the pinnacle cxu613 discontinued? I really like that truck.

[flight50]

I too would pay 10 bucks. I know more people will complain about that price though. SCS's approach would most likely be cheaper price and hope the quantity that buys far exceeds what 10 bucks would have done.

So if they did make such dlc's let say:
-$10 for a licensed K100. With overfloater's number of subscribers on Steam (almost 80k), lets say only 10% of them bought it to get a licensed fully supported SCS truck. That's 8k people that bought the dlc.
-$6 for a licensed K100. 80k subscribers might be more willing to buy a SCS K100. So we could go up to 25%+ of people that want a licensed truck. We also have to remember than not everyone uses mods too. So that 80k would include all of the ATS owners so now you are including everyone that owns ATS and not just people that uses mods.

In the end sell cheaper, you gain more over the life time of the game. More people will be willing to buy old trucks because honestly, the video games that do have trucks in them, are old truck models anyways. What games have you seen use modern trucks like SCS. SCS could be getting some of that cash flow as well if they did old trucks.

I'd buy a truck or two at either of those prices.

Though I think a better model may be 2-3 trucks in a pack for $10-15.

[poozykrem]

If classic trucks were officially a thing, I think used trucks market might appear in the game

[flight50]

^Agreed. That would definitely be the perfect time to do it. We can't bring in a K100 has new. The ideas of classic truck packs and used truck dealerships is sprinkled around in several threads now.
