Train Simulator, thats an example of overpriced DLC, some of it is nice, but £30 for a few trains & coaches?!!!!
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.Matty wrote:Train Simulator, thats an example of overpriced DLC, some of it is nice, but £30 for a few trains & coaches?!!!!
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.Reknoc wrote:This is a game that knows exactly what it's doing in the most ingeniously sleazy of ways.

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.Matty wrote:In other news, this is quite hilarious:

It's all pretty damn sad though. WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?!Killer French Bread wrote: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.
