For those of you who don't know, RailWorks is a train simulation game on Steam. I'm sure you've seen them on the 'Recent Releases' with their DLC.

For one, I have no problem with DLC as long as they add to the game. There have been many great DLC packs released and most are at a reasonable price.

Looking at the RailWorks DLC, most if not all are just extra train models with 1-3 skins. There is one I'm looking at which offers 3 new train sections with a few variations on skins; this doesn't feature any difference to gameplay and is essentially like a new vehicle in another game... How much? £25 ($40) This doesn't include the main game or anything, just the 3 trains, 6 skin variations and 11 'Scenarios' (Just "Get from point A to B" scenarios).

They've released 70 DLC packs/add-ons totalling £701.35 ($1121.74). Yeah, if you want to own the entire game, you're going to have to spend quite a significant amount.

Edit: I for one think they should just lower the price or combine the content to make the price more reasonable.

TL;DR: Should RailWorks stop releasing DLC?

Well, that's pretty crazy for the DLC but no they shouldn't stop because, well first of all it's clearly a niche market game. I think niche market games are the best kind because they're not (usually) going to sell out and make the game something it should never become. Obviously it's expensive to own all the game's DLC but it's not like it's required, and it's much more cost effective for them to do that than it is to make a whole new game.

So yeah, that's a CRAZY amount of DLC but... no reason to stop.
