Stetement from Matt Peddlesden
on the DTG Forums:
"We had this discussion with SBB months ago... so...
- Just to clarify there are going to be NO retroactive changes to TSC content.
- A very small set of minor changes was agreed with SBB for Luzern, so that's already had its update some months ago for them to be happy.
- No further changes expected anywhere.
Removing the logo wouldn't help.
Firstly you're actively going against a rail operators wishes - that kinda bad karma spreads faster than good karma and you might find yourself getting locked out of other operators.
Secondly, if you DO have a license, you also have an NDA. And operators can pull the "that's clearly our train, you clearly are sharing information we consider proprietary on how to operate it, cease and desist". Would that work in court? I have no idea but who has the money to find this stuff out.
It's best to just consider SBB off the table, in my view, their restrictions render a product that is far below expectations of players and therefore not worth making. Beyond that, there are loads of other operators who think train simulation is very cool and appreciate the value of it - I hear some operators actively benefit in recruitment because of it for example.
Let's focus on the operators who want to help us all get the train simulation experiences we want.
