Now you can buy your mods! Support those modders whether you like it or not!

And remember, :filez: aren't cool, so no talking about pirating these paid mods

the train simulator community is all 60 year old men who make trains and tracks for the game and sell them to each other for $40 a pop

I've heard a few reasons why this works

  • The market is very small, and requires a high price point because setting it low would not generate any more sales. Would reducing the price down to $5 make you want to buy virtual trains
  • The more important point: People who play these games are the crazy train dads that have the $30,000 invested into a miniature train world in their basement. To them, spending $2,000 on virtual trains is not that expensive considering they're paying $500 for each real train that doesn't have nearly as much functionality as the virtual trains do.

:siren: I would like to point out that the mods are Pay What You Want and that you don't have to pay the MSRP:siren:



† minimum is set by the modder and cannot go below $0.49

You guys are overreacting. Those smart people in Games are on the ball.

People deserve to be paid for work, especially if that work is literally "improve a game". If you do not want to pay just don't. I personally know people that will love this - modders in countries with lovely economies will love this.

I wonder if they delayed Attila's workshop for this.

Reminder that Counter Strike and Killing Floor are mods people have paid money for during a long rear end time.

This just in: I can't believe they're charging us money for that Unreal Tournament 3 mod, Batman: Arkham City.

10 years ago I would have gone onto forums and posted in mega threads about how seriously angry I was about it. Being older and wiser, all I did was just make a joke thread, and I still got what I wanted. Thanks people-10-years-younger-than-me, you did all the work I couldn't give a poo poo to do.

[a definitely sane person, of the kind you imagine permanently in business attire] "Being older and wiser, I have outsourced my anger at being paywalled out of my favourite animal genitalia mods to preteens on the internet"

To be fair, I'm 27 so those would be teenagers that are fighting for my right to realistic horse vaginas.
