But the problem is not DLC. It is how a studio uses it.</p> <p>I buy every DLC <a href="https://www.scssoft.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img class="favicon" src="https://icons.duckduckgo.com/ip3/www.scssoft.com.ico" alt="" width="16" height="16" loading="lazy">SCS</a> puts out for <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/270880/American_Truck_Simulator/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img class="favicon" src="https://icons.duckduckgo.com/ip3/store.steampowered.com.ico" alt="" width="16" height="16" loading="lazy">American Truck Simulator</a>. Every one, without thinking about it. I do not play <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/227300/Euro_Truck_Simulator_2/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img class="favicon" src="https://icons.duckduckgo.com/ip3/store.steampowered.com.ico" alt="" width="16" height="16" loading="lazy">Euro Truck Simulator 2</a>, but it is the same studio doing the same thing, and the two of them are about as close to perfect as DLC gets.</p>
