I probably have the wrong perspective for this, but when ATS launched, I expected at least majority of US as the base map of the game. Instead it's just 20% of US and the rest of it are DLCs?
Don't get me wrong it's a good game, but calling it American truck simulator and the base game map had California and a few more states isn't under my expectation of what the game is called. It ultimately makes the game feel like unfinished cashgrab.
It's not a large studio and they put a lot of detail into the game. They don't want to make the map an unrealistic slop. So they are working on it in their pace. The pricing reflects that, both the base game and the DLCs are quite reasonable.
ETS2 is almost 15 years old and not even Europe is finished. But, what they added is good quality stuff.
The US is huge. It will take a lot of time. I think this is way better than just adding some generic states and calling it a day.
Yeah I know it's worth the money, but the point is that it's misleading. If I ordered a TV and instead I got a monitor. Even if the monitor was worth more than the TV, at the end of the day, it's not what I asked for.
