The old dealership is so good..

[@AssettoRacerGR]

I remember customising all the trucks at the dealership to make them look nice, I can't understand why they changed it (For those who don't know, in the old dealership the trucks didn't change back to stock when you selected a different model/version after modifying them)

[@stefanxcz]

@@AssettoRacerGR That was a great thing too

[@cheeyun9526]

That is one of the few huge mistake did by SCS. The old dealership are so welcoming and cool unlike the new one which is ok but a huge downgrade from the old one. I swear the old truck dealership could've won an award. The another huge mistake did by SCS is the loading screen. The old one is more creative and nicer to look at.What is even better is that the loading screen picture changes and not just the same one shown.

I started playing ETS 2 in 2012 just a few weeks before its release. I remember I bought it from its official website. I had to ask a friend to buy it for me and then I would pay her back by making a money deposit to her account. At that time, I didn't have a bank account yet. I liked the game so much that I couldn't stop playing it and it got even better when I discovered the mods. Since then, ETS 2 has become the game that I have invested more hours in my leisure time. Even for someone like me who is not European, I learned about the places and cities of all the countries. Countries of which I only knew by name their capitals, but not other city names. Very good video compilation about the comparisons and evolution of the game.

I started playing ETS2 in 2013, when I was only 9 years old, the change was huge with the passage of time. The first few times I did not understand anything but I had fun, little by little I was acquiring more knowledge and I began to understand it better. Now in 2021 I can't live without it, I already know how to install mods, I can play it with a steering wheel, I have a pc that can run it in high graphics, etc. Good video, the sound of the Scania in 2012 and the music of the dealer brings me many memories haha

This is real progress right here. I just hope the creators of the Farming Simulator had the same dedication to their game as SCS has.

[@Zulisian]

The thing with farming simulator is they missed the trick, instead of keeping a game updated and fresh, they sold out and wanted to make a new one every year; which turned it into a dead niche product that only a few hardcore fans buy. SCS understand how to keep things fresh, but ensure they get paid and manage their overheads through appropriately costed DLC that is also regularly on sale; and thus kept those players who wouldn't buy the "next game" every year, in with everyone who "could".

But at the end...with the comparison of the FPS...I've discovered a massive framedrop over the time. My PC specs haven't changed over the past 4 years (CPU, GPU and RAM are still the same, but my FPS are lower than ever with the same graphics settings.

Der Euro Truck Simulator 2 hat die Jahre so eine Beliebtheit zugenommen und dadurch das dieses Spiel immer wieder mehrfach gekauft wurde, konnte SCS Software immer weiter in die Entwicklung investieren! Daran kann man sich ein sehr gutes Beispiel nehmen, wie viel Erfolg auf dem Spielemarkt ein Spiel haben kann wenn man als Entwickler auf seine Community hört. Von Release an bis jetzt, hat sich der Euro Truck Simulator 2 ca. 5,5 Millionen mal verkauft. Das ergibt ein Bruttoumsatz von 110 Millionen Euro. Wie man auch unschwer zu Beginn des Videos sehen kann, hatten die LKWs ganz zu Beginn als das Spiel noch neu war keine richtigen Markennamen und Markenlogos. Ich schätze mal sehr stark, die Entwickler werden sich damals bestimmt gedacht haben das sie einfach mal einen LKW Simulator auf den Markt bringen. Als sie merkten das sie ihre ersten 100.000,00€ Bruttoumsatz hatten denke ich mal werden sie in die Lizenzen für die Markennamen und Markenlogos investiert haben. Und dann haben sie das Spiel immer weiter und weiter ausgebaut. Also ich bin sehr positiv der Zuversicht, sollte sich das Spiel die nächsten 10 Jahre weiterhin so gut auf dem Markt durchsetzen dann werden wir bis spätestens 2035 eine Simulation erleben können wie sie noch kein Spieleentwickler ermöglicht hat.

good memories! In the past, this game looked really good and I wondered if it could be any better than this. Looking at the empty areas on the border of the map, I used to wonder if the map could be extended to Spain, Northern Europe and Russia. As of 2021, all your dreams in the past have already become reality! I enjoyed the demo version as soon as the game was released in late 2012. At that time, I was too young to know how to purchase the game, so I only played the demo version for over 2 years. After completing 6 or 7 shipments, I made a new game profile countless times. And around 2014, I paid about 20-25 Euros and finally bought the game. Seeing the game improving day by day, it seems like a great investment. Especially the update of weather graphics and lighting effects a while ago was a big revolution. :)
