Well, at least we made it to post #122 before someone complained about the cost. We're collectively getting better [happy]
1. For some people, they look at DLCs as, "Frontier released an unfinished game. Why should we pay extra to have a "complete" game?
For those people, no amount of content updates will ever equal their perfect utopia of a complete/finished game.
2. For some people, the game isn't complete until they have "x" feature from their wish list. That would be easy if you were the only customer they have. They only need to listen to you! Maybe you're used to that, but I hate to break it to ya'... you're not the center of the universe.
3. Personally, I would highly prefer that Frontier (who is running a business) continues to make content and charge for it. Since they don't work for free, I think this is reasonable. The alternative is that they abandoned Planet Coaster shortly after they released it, like many game developers have done.
4. Will it ever be finished?
Well, eventually something new will come along, and business decisions will dictate that people need to be reassigned elsewhere. Let's hope that's a long way off. Right now, we get to enjoy Frontier's dedication to keeping (most of) the fans happy, content development, quality-of-life improvements, and an awesome team of community managers/PR/streams, etc. The other developers could really use a lesson on how to engage the community and keep their products alive, which is something that Frontier excels at.

yes many of the bigger fans around here would be willing to pay double the price for the DLCs because they want to support the game they love, but not all fans are that diehard for the game. I myself love this game, but I'm not an expert builder so I mainly just enjoy seeing other players creations, which is awesome that I can do that [up] but I dont like the mini-DLCs because each pack has only a few items I really want. I will be sorely disappointed if they continue to release dozens of DLC packs, and even more so if they never release a full expansion. Its going to be really annoying for new players to get into the game if it has too many DLCs
