Next week, literally a whole busload of SCS Software employees will travel to Cologne, Germany, to visit the largest European games fair [url=http://www.gamescom-cologne.com/]gamescom[/url]. We hope to have a lot of fun there enjoying the expo - checking out the latest trends in games industry - but we are also looking forward to showing a bit of our upcoming [url=http://www.americantrucksimulator.com/]American Truck Simulator[/url] there, kindly presented at the booth of our German publishing partner [url=http://www.astragon-entertainment.de/]astragon Entertainment[/url]. Come see the game in Hall 8.1, booth A 020!

It is always heart-warming to see how much attention our truck sim games are now getting compared to the humble beginnings we had in this niche genre over a decade ago. Big thanks for this must go out to our ever-growing player community and its impact. We are very proud that we have recently crossed the mark of 2,000,000 activated copies of [url=http://www.eurotrucksimulator2.com/]Euro Truck Simulator 2[/url] on [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/227300/]Steam[/url] - as independently confirmed by [url=http://steamspy.com/app/227300]SteamSpy[/url].

Paul a.k.a Squirrel is the YouTuber and streamer with probably the largest reach when it comes to covering our games. This will be his first encounter with ATS, and we are very curious to hear his opinion. Here is the [url=https://twitter.com/sqrlTV/status/627087632141520896]Twitter announcement[/url].

A couple of the wheels are generously provided to us for use at the expo by Logitech, so the visitors will be able to see if the new model combined with our truck sim can further improve on the rock solid experience of its G27 predecessor.
