Also, your products have tiers, however it's whether or not they're a one-time purchase and are still purchasable.

Of course you don't see anything wrong with it. I'm not surprised. There are a lot of people who are more than happy to say "Shut up and take my money" to an obviously problematic business practice that can easily do more harm than good. N3V Wouldn't be copying them. TSC didn't even have any...

You know, that's a pretty funny way of saying "I support business practices that divide and alienate players." Pulling the "get a job" card only works in certain situations and this isn't one of them. Most folks have a job, and there are far too many sensible gamers out there who like owning...

Train Sim Classic's Rail Subscription is cheaper (even if the amount of content is limited). I'd rather actually purchase dlc than rent it. It's a much better option and should be the standard.

An ultimatum like that perfectly describes why so many game companies are slowly collapsing and losing money. Again, paying for the plan is no longer an acceptable option. By making certain dlc exclusive to Trainz Plus, N3V Games are dividing the player base to the point where they may end up...

That's the problem. You don't see anything wrong with locking some dlc behind a subscription. That's an issue for people who actually want to purchase the dlc. It's absolutely not a benefit. DTG don't do that with Train Sim Classic and TSW. So why should N3V be any different? Those Trainz Plus...

Yet, the post does raise a valid concern. DLC should still be purchasable, even if the dlc is included and/or exclusive to a subscription. What's the point of allowing any dlc to be purchasable if you make some dlc exclusive to a subscription?

Those are entirely different things though. You're grabbing at straws here. It's obvious you have to purchase a car to make use of the air conditioner in it. At the same time, you could purchase an air conditioner for your home and have free air conditioning. You also have to buy a laptop to...

The implication is there, but you're still paying to access dlc. That's not free. That's a subscription, or Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc... would be saying the same thing about their subscriptions. When something is free, it costs nothing, it's up for grabs. It's like a gift. Someone buys...

The problem with that mindset is that it shouldn't be the norm, especially when we're talking about dlc. DLC shouldn't be rented, it's supposed to be a one-time purchase. While I understand that N3V Games need the money to keep development going, it shouldn't involve locking access to certain...

Unfortunately, aside from Trainz plus also providing faster download speeds for the dls, it's just more of a nuisance since some dlc is locked behind Trainz plus, which still doesn't make any sense to me. It's kind of shady to lock dlc behind a subscription and not make it available for...

So, I made this TRC 4 street run using the JR USA Road 2 Stripes L-7m and it's pretty lengthy. It's 3,420 feet long. I got the TRC set up for it to work nicely, but there's just one issue I haven't been able to tackle. Because of how long it is, I had to use two TRC traffic stoppers, one on each...

I finally found out the problem. Well, I'm not sure if it actually counts as a problem, but it seems that the train brake lever doesn't release the airbrakes completely. I had to press the "Q" key to completely release the train brakes. The two Espee Esdees moved just fine after pressing the "Q"...

Oh sorry for misunderstanding you. Also, I mean to be fair, it's possible to create a believable route in Train Sim Classic, just like it's possible to do in Trainz. All it takes is dedication and practice.

That's because DTG aren't from Australia, while N3V are. There isn't too much interest in Australian content for Train Sim Classic either.
