10 Ridiculous DLC Extras Video Games Expected You To Pay For
10. Train Simulator 2014 - Insane Amounts Of DLC Costing THOUSANDS
When it comes to pricing a piece of DLC, there's no set rule. However, you're not normally expected to pay about twenty times what you paid for the base price of the game.
Apparently someone didn't tell Dovetail that, as the final sum total for every train and track in Train Simulator 4 would run you up a hefty total of about $10,000 (about £7.5k).
Which, when you take a moment to think about it... is absolutely batsh*t.
It was nefarious because naturally, it wasn't all one DLC with a price tag that steep. But when you sat down and added up how many little pieces become the whole, it was staggering.
It also makes you wonder who would love trains that much...
What didn't help matters was the community behind Train Simulator that put out so much content for free that really highlighted the insane mark-up of the game's paid content.
Thankfully, Dovetail have gone on to better themselves with recent releases, hopefully with the shadow of this debacle serving as a reminder to never do it again.
