This is a game that knows exactly what it's doing in the most ingeniously sleazy of ways. The publisher can get away with this because they know exactly the type of person who buys that game and it's usually the sort that's willing to spend a shit ton of money on a certain train. It's just like Marvel Heroes. There may also probably be some licensing issues that would inflate the price slightly.

Agreed, appeals to the hobbyists who want a massive train set but lack the space or funding, or those who get excited by seeing the class 428 in a Northen railways design carrying 6 Class 313 carriages with xyz couplings.

Why does this not surprise me? Ironic seeing as lots of King games are just blatant copies of other games.

Yeah King is certainly trying their hardest to squeeze as much money as they can from other companies before they hit the dump.

Kind of depressing really - seeing as though some viewers will have previously thought these video hosts had genuine opinions rather than being paid to advertise.

I heard the other day that someone on neogaf was basically a Steam employee who was making threads about how pants the new Xbox was. They're all at it. It's the next level, guerilla marketing.
Tic Tac, sir?
