Thank you!MMBrown wrote: ↑25 Jan 2022 20:08 I very much enjoy ATS/ETS2 as they are so I hate to complain, but you're right, the games could be so much better. It was easily forgivable 5+ years ago but now it feels like the gaming industry is vastly outpacing SCS. I'm very grateful for an active modding community keeping things alive, but a game shouldn't have to rely on that, especially since so many modders seem to have gone the payware route.
It's wonderful that we have had some substantial updates to the game for completely free, but honestly I think I'd be happy to pay a bit if it made for some more drastic leaps. Unfortunately, it seems SCS's game plan is to just keep riding the geographic DLC gravy train for income and do some incremental updates when they can. I do hope a completely new game is secretly in the works behind it all, but I very much doubt it.
I'm not saying this as someone that hates SCS. I have 1000 hours into their game. I stream it almost every weekend.
I want to play more, not less. A proper trucksim fitting the title would be the only game I played for weeks on end.
Until we can agree that the game needs improvements, it will never improve.
And it badly needs improvements in every area, most notably interaction.
