Well, I noticed them too, and I want something more trainzy. A VMD, Jointed Rail or other trainz related ads would be great.
Do more Trainzy searches. Sadly, to specifically have VMD/JR ads, VMD or JR would have to PAY for the ads. Looks like they are doing AdSense by Google because I am at least getting
relevant ads. I'm getting stuff for local businesses, my college textbook rental company, etc.
Lets face it. SOMEBODY has to pay. Unless of course, you'd like to go to an
entirely subscription based model: No downloadable content
at all unless you pay for it. No use of these community forums unless you are a FCT holder. Granted, a lot of the stuff is provided for free by our group of content creators, but nothing in life is FREE. Somebody has to pay for the servers that host the content. Somebody has to pay for the bandwidth to get the content from the servers. A quality scripted detailed railcar is about 2MB, DaveSnow's burned out building is 3MB, RRSignal's 30th street station is 7.36MB. I've downloaded single assets that are over 15MB. Lets say I want to D/L the station, maybe a few cars to haul people to the station, the burned out building to put in the neighborhood, and so on, you are talking a lot of data. This discussion comes up every month or so, "why can't I keep getting stuff for free? For crying out loud, I
bought Trainz 2004 seven years ago"
I've got games on my PS3 that I :gasp:
bought (just like I had to buy Trainz) that have add on scenarios and extras, but they all have to be paid for through the PlayStation store and pay the content providers. Sure, I can keep playing it with the built in content, but it eventually gets stale, and I like to have fresh content every now and then.
If the cost of fresh content
for free is a little banner ad that I really didn't pay any attention to until people started moaning and groaning about it, so be it.
