The list of items also includes:

Edinburgh-Glasgow
Portsmouth Direct Line

I'd picked up E-G with the Class 70 earlier in the day Friday, but I got the 33 and 444 and PDL when I got the notice about GetGames. :)

A nice cheap hobby payday for me! Did better with GetGames than I did with RSC's March Madness...

Nobody makes you buy any of this. All you do with comments like this is show your negative attitude.......which no one really needs.

I have money going into my account on mon apr 2nd, i just hope i can get a couple of packs before the sale ends, looking at getting HSC NEC and maybe the arcella - i follow uk routes and trains far more than i do with the u.s. or german trains but thought that having these assets would be benificial for the future, i might even grab some of the half price trains aswell while im at it, :)

No nobody makes me buy any of it, but they false advertise the crap out of it and I buy it with an expectation of getting a functional product. I don't really care if you think it's negative, it's a fact and I'm not going to sit back and watch people pay fourty bucks to suffer through the same incompletable scenarios and half finished products without atleast putting out a warning.

Well go open your own thread about that and leave this one alone.
False advertising, where, prove it? Not one of those deals cost $40.00.

All the products function.

As for incompletable (sic) scenarios, I think the only one I recall from that list was in the NEC route and that was fixed by the author. I don't recall any of the products being release half finished either. I do know the Donner Pass was poor however, it functioned and has been patched and another major update is on the way, so at $20.00 it seems to me even the Donner Pass is a good purchase.

So, like I said, go open a new thread and state some facts and show proof and then you will perhaps be doing someone a favour. Without facts and proof you are just venting your own anger, which is fine, in the correct place and in the correct manner I just don't believe that place is this thread.

Guys lets keep this friendly. The point is that some of us (including me) have tight budgets and welcome a bit of savings.

And if you are patient and don't buy immediately when something new comes out, you get two benefits:

1. If you wait for a sale, you get it cheaper. I think I have only paid full price for about 10 DLC from RSC and that's because I was being impatient. if you have anything like I have, you have more than enough unplayed scenarios and/or scenarios, routes and rolling stock you want to design, that you probably don't really need to spend more money on new stuff for a while. *!lol!*

2. If you wait for a sale when something new comes out, you can watch the bug reports and wait until it's patched and working properly!


16 Steam DLC to go! Of course, by the time I get those, Settle Carlisle, and London Brighton will be out. And that's not even mentioning all the stuff I can get from other vendors. !!jabber!!

Good Morning:

Just out of curiosity, after you buy this and install it and an update comes out does steam install the update or do you have go to a seperate site and install yourself.

Thanks
