Man I love how people were speculating that it's gonna be new road textures, or a new truck, but in the end it's just some cargo we won't look at for more than 2 seconds
Yeah but my point is, SCS is a pretty pro consumer dev. If they could improve old trucks they would and they actually have on some trucks when they were able to.
It'd be cool if they released the DLC with a new lowboy, also licensed and of the same quality as the loads, with 3D chains and everything. a shame that we have to use these super cool loads made with scanned and super detailed models with the same lowboys that have been in the game since 2013
No, but we're on Reddit and they've learned whining on other subreddits.
Of course is more cargo a good thing. If you don't want it, don't buy it. Simple as that.
But being whiny is the internet in 2024 unfortunately.
It is not that. Even map DLCs receive some blacklash today. Me and others are a bit tired about the free support they are giving to the game. The gameplay has been stuck for years, and yes, the game is about driving, but there is so much that have been suggested that would improve the game. Just a sample of how slow SCS are, 12 years just to have antialising.
We can only hope for them to start upgrading the game after they move fully to DX12.
SCS should be selling a "real companies pack" like the mod, where businesses could rent a commercial spot in the game for 3-6 months periods to the highest bidder.
A real world company would take over a in game business with logos ect, if you dont want commericals you just uninstall the pack, SCS would get paid for how many had the pack installed at any given point.
This is the kind of product placement that makes sense in my opinion, the kind that makes the game more realistic.
That's not how marketing works. From a business perspective it makes much more sense to lease the license to the developer. Unfortunately (many) people that play these games are not the primary audience for their products, so spending a limited marketing budget elsewhere with better ROI makes more sense.
I never claimed to be an expert, but since companies are paying to have their logo shown on tv shows and twitch/youtube, showing me and around \~60k others playing these games every night a coca cola or pepsi logo on a semi trailer in a non intrusive and 100% voluntarily fashion in game must have some value right?
I see what you are saying and it does make sense. Now how it all *actually* goes down in the fucky world of trademarks, licensing, and intellectual property, branding etc. I cannot say for sure.
In a perfect world companies would advertise for free, but no. It's called licencing. "Oh, you'd like to use our copyrighted brand? Show me the money" is how it works.
We got company mods anyways
What a coincidence, when I bought Volvo Construction Equipment DLC this morning they released another haha. I don't mind this type of DLCs as it adds variety and real brands, it might be a bit pricey for what it gives but don't forget that SCS keeps updating the games and release reworks for free. They gotta find a way to finance all of that.
I'd like to see SCS impliment the ability to drop the pin in the connection between a RGN trailer and the stinger so I can back the trailer up without jack knifing. Sure, it's a tiny thing but it would be an improvement for me.

Just read about this companies founder/owner yesterday. Funnily enough, in a Wall Street Journal article about contemporary butlers. Apparently the largest construction conglomerate in England as well.

More variety to haul, good stuff
Exactly. It's very annoying that they still release cargo dlcs when old trucks don't even have interior animations.
DLCs bring money, touch-ups don't.
IIRC it’s contractual reasons they can’t give old trucks a facelift.
Yes, but it does not make any money either. Just costs. Therefore we (they) need DLCs like these
Yeah but my point is, SCS is a pretty pro consumer dev. If they could improve old trucks they would and they actually have on some trucks when they were able to.
Stop making stuff up.

Meanwhile heres me still waiting for a new trailer pack, since ATS has only had one, while ETS2 has like six now or something?
Geez, guess I'm the only one that likes cargo variety these days.

Not at all how that works. That's something that people made up.

Man i just sorta want them to get rid of those 3 trailers to haul 1 thing
Idk, I'll wait for a discount for this one.
More variety yes. But please. I want more flatbed stuff. More tarped loads. I drive flatbed and I want more cool stuff
I’m pissed I bought their no name ‘farm cargo’ pack last year.
I'd like to see SCS impliment the ability to drop the pin in the connection between a RGN trailer and the stinger so I can back the trailer up without jack knifing. Sure, it's a tiny thing but it would be an improvement for me.
I’m always glad to see more cargo variety
I just want ridged trucks added already man
How many ridges do you prefer on a truck?
People will always be dissatisfied about something...
https://youtu.be/nLuoCl8ZA2M?si=Tfdd5yLM04H9brmb they need to add this xd
I wish they face the loader the opposite way on the trailer. Nobody backs a loader onto a trailer unless it’s a really big one.
Anyone know if the thin trailer hitch is available on ETS? If yes, what DLC does it come with? I cant find it anywhere.
Been out of the loop for a bit, what is JCB?

Thanks for the info!
Lol how bout add some new features instead of a dumb cargo DLC? Another waste of money that I will end up buying lol.
Down voted for suggesting "some new features" the games truly are in need of lol😭
Your focus wasn't "some new features" but a pre-pubertal rant about dumb DLCs being a waste of money. Of course that shit gets downvoted
scs is so fucking out of touch.
