Every game has a limited life cycle and a limited shelf life, but Euro Truck Simulator 2 is still alive over 10 years, with 50,000 active players daily. So what makes this game special, and why does it refuse to die? Let's check it out.

Simplicity of the Game

The concept is too simple. Deliver goods and grow your business. So, you can get into the game fast, even if you are a 10-year-old kid or a 60-year-old man. You will enjoy.

Simplicity is important; games like real-time strategy (Starcraft) can't attract a lot of gamers because they're kinda hard to start. but simplicity is still not enough to keep this game played for 12 years now. Here is the second reason.

Therapeutic Gameplay

We are humans, so we have to work to get money. Work is stressful, so we need to release this stress. and Ets2 is a perfect place, starting with the hum of the engine, the beautiful European roads, the changing weather, and the truck design. You can design everything in your truck. and, most importantly, listening to your favorite music on the road. Yeah, this game works well with real life.

Updates, DLCs, and Mods

If you love a game, you want to try new things like adding content, improving gameplay, and, most importantly, putting other gamers ideas into this game. Build a strong community with a lot of innovative ideas in Ets2 (mods). You got a multiplayer mod where you can drive with 4000 drivers from all over the world and a lovely weather mod where you can play in frosty winter.

Repetitive Gameplay

The idea is perfect. Everyone loves to drive without hesitation, especially when the game is well made with good engine sound and the realism of truck mechanics. Why not play it more and more?
