I couldn’t help it. I saw this game appear on Steam and almost soiled my pants laughing at how much the DLC totalled after it was all said and done. I’ve seen instances where some developers would make some questionable pricing choices for the DLC they offer, but this takes the cake. To be fair, I’m not mocking the DLC. If someone truly wants to spend $2,800+ on add-on packs for a game about trains, then who am I to judge? After all, everyone has a hobby…though mine don’t tend to set me back by four month’s worth of mortgage payments. The core game, “Train Simulator 2014: Steam Edition”, is currently running for about $57.00, with the 131 DLC packs ranging from $5.00 to $40.00 each.

Do you remember when you were a little kid? Chances are you had a video game system in your house that played those blocky games you bought at the store. Most people, at one point or another, have navigated Mario through the Mushroom Kingdom, making him jump to hit blocks and toss fireballs at approaching Goombas. Those games were linear in that what you paid for is what you got. There was no connecting your Nintendo Entertainment System or Atari 2600 to the internet to download games or update ones you had purchased. What you purchased, no matter how crappy the game was, was what you were stuck with.
