I have been with Trainz for many years now and the gap between releases and availability on Steam has never been this great before.
Isn't it time now for all of us Steam users to be given availability to early access too?
Steam has a long history of being very friendly to early access games so I don't under the N3V delay here. Steam also has a great updating mechanism to ensure releases are kept current, which is one of the major reasons I now only buy games through Steam.
From a pragmatic standpoint you are missing out on an important early revenue stream here, unless the intent is to force us to purchase a subscription. While I will purchase the game at the higher price for this release, I have no intention of ever purchasing a subscription for a game of any kind. Why not? I am a developer, not an operator, so see little benefit to myself in a subscription, and I already have a life time FCT.
Please consider releasing early access on Steam soon.
Bob
