American Truck Simulator

Day 1 paid DLC? Fuck that shit. I'm not even wasting my money on it now

debby pls.

California and Nevada ship with ATS. Arizona is free DLC. More states will be made available as paid DLC later on. They want to make as much DLC as possible but they won't keep making it if no one buys it.

On release, California and Nevada will be included with the game. Arizona will be included later as a free DLC. Other states will be added as paid DLC later on. (or as map mods like Africa in ETS2)

Debby pls is right. I need to learn to read better.

lel, why did i see this comming, having to waste tons of money to unlock the whole map gg American DLC Simulator

Probably because The United States is much larger than Europe? The continental US is nearly 3 times larger than ETS2 with the two map DLC (Going East and Scandinavia). It's going to take them a long time to complete the entire US and then Canada and Mexico.

I would be willing to pay it if they build their own mp core rather than some modder doing it.

I'd be willing to pay a reasonable price for a state each..Hopefully we get mods like after a month... I'm looking forward to Jazzycat's type stuff again..

[Eurobeat]

Sigh. I read on their site a few days ago that "all the new map DLC will be free"

I guess it's fine if they want to charge for it, but they could at least say so in the first place instead of changing their fucking minds every 9 minutes.

[Supra]

Disappointing. Bye bye SCS Software.

A company changes its mind about its content release.. Sounds like a mother popular company I know... Fish, do you have anything confirming that??

[Benny]

I didnt see anywhere that they said that all dlcs will be free. And i undarstand that decision. Its a lot of work making a map that size and if they will do it for free then they wont make any money and wont be able to do anything at all.

it was on their website in the same article as the release date announcement

[Ethan]

If the DLCs are free, I wonder what content from them we will have to buy?

This.

I will also point out, you're paying half as much as a newly-released AAA (triple A) title, to a company that is smaller and is very likely to have less financial backing compared to Activision/EA/Take-Two/Ubisoft. They probably need the additional money from DLC to sustain development for not just only game updates, but future DLC and their future interests.

Game development isn't easy guys.

The base game is $20 retail.

Recommended price of the game is going to be $20/€20, though it is to be expected that for alternate currencies, some local market specifics and the need to display a nice round figure may cause slight variations.

Stop complaining about DLC costing money. Even if you spend $40 on DLC it's still the same price as a brand new AAA game.

Sadly it will turn into a money farming bitch just like Microsoft Flight Simulator or Train simulator where each new track, train, plane, airport costs as much as the game itself or more, how many states does US have? 50 states? and considering each one of them could be over 10 dollars, or $18,99 just like last DLC (Scandinavia) the game would be over 900 dollars, have fun paying that.
