You do not own the DLC either.

Yes I do. The items sitting on my hard drives are owned by me. Full stop. Cheers matey. Will not respond anymore. Have a good day.

Again with the software! Yes the software that the game uses is only as temporary as the company is operating. No argument there. I agree with you.
Again like a broken record, I am referring to assets purchased through the store. NOT the software that the game runs on.
I own those items outright. There they sit on my hard drive. I don t lose them. They will always be there. Full stop.
Unfortunately, when you stop paying rent, Ka-blam! The items you rented are no longer on your hard drive! Unable to be used. Nada nix Nope! That is why I don t go into the rental market with N3V being the landlord. Talk about going off on a tangent. Sheesh.
You upset that i rocked the apple cart referring to those who make financial rewards out of more renters? Yes It is called conflict of interest, when mr hotbox cajoles, pushes , bullys and puts down those of us (the majority) who do not wish to pay rent, without admitting a financial reward out of more renters on the rolls, yes I will call that out. Or is it the word renter, which upsets and triggers you? Here: RENTERS = SUBSCRIBERS! Reality!
Pilotwoo has admitted that he makes money out of the renters. Cool with that. Honesty and transparency is to be respected. Some fools find that funny, but in business, it is a serious matter.

I mean you dont outright own the DLC you buy from the store either they'll be leased items as well with the understanding that you will have access of them going foward, but if trainz went under or the game that the dlc can work for stops getting supported and the content brakes, there is no promise of that media being there. I understand the argument in our ever growing "you will rent everything and own nothing" world people want more and more to have physical media so it is not just taken from them, but Trainz always will/has been in a leased service and gold is just the next evaluation of that with subscriptions funding development instead of having a new release every year or two like other games do. I actually downloaded all of the Australian DLCs today from the Trainz store as I have been looking to have some fun with that content and to outright buy that would of costed me many £100s, having gold enabled me to explore a new side of Trainz and have some fun experiences I couldn't get with the outright store. I think that's a perspective missed in all this. Likewise while yes N3V are going to promote their subscription services via making their DLC Gold only, the rest of 3rd party devs offer both Trainz gold and outright purchase so the vast majority of content you can just own, so one has to wonder if the reaction N3V gets every time they do anything in the UK Community is proportionate....

All versions of Trainz except Trainz Plus can be bought and owned outright. It's yours to keep. All DLC you purchase is yours to keep outright. The connection to N3V is to check if you have a valid version to gain access to other Trainz products like the DLS or DLC. If N3V failed, you would still be able to use the products you bought. The only loss would be the Trainz Plus version and access to DLC and DLS assets you have not purchased or downloaded.
