    Definitely needed and helps, but I think more could have been done.

    For example, having historic track packs but then some versions of historic tracks only available when buying the modern versions.

    [Having Lamborghinis in the Imsa pack but then if I want the other Lamborghini I need to buy another pack and pay for the Imsa Lamborghini again. Same with the Endurance packs and the Lamborghinis.]- seems if you buy the Imsa pack it deducts the price for content you already own.

    I appreciate the changes and hope that further down the road things will be organized even more.

    Okay this is a reach, maybe, because I'm sure you have your hands full, but many games will show you all the content within the game, with items you haven't purchased flagged as unowned, often with a link to the steam page or an in-game purchase option. I think if AMS2 had the ability to show ALL content as a filter, whether owned or not, in a way that you could see the image and say "Oh, I want that" and know which DLC to go get to get it, might be great, whether it's a track or a car. Having things just "not there" makes it quite hard to know what you're missing. It also has the ability to spark sales because people will be able to browse the content and decide to purchase it, even if they didn't know it existed before.

    This would require the current dlc to be repacked and shuffled around which they already said isn’t on the cards, besides this really isn’t that big of an issue compared to the confusing mess that is the premium expansion packs
    Why do you need to pay twice for the Lamborghinis or Endurance packs? The IMSA bundle gets cheaper the more items you own.

    I think this is a great initiative - I own most of the stuff I do want to (bought the 2 historic track packs and the new EP3 yesterday) and this won't force me to buy what I don't (stadium trucks, RX, road cars) so it won't directly benefit me at all, but all for simplicity and lowering the barrier to entry.

    For me, you could go further still and combine some of the Historic Track Packs, the Endurance Pack etc into a single one. Or, if the idea is to make bundles for each 'series' that works too.

    Finally! I am happy that this is set to motion!
    For me it would be perfect if people (like myself) who bought SP 2020-2022 would also have Premium Packs checked on store page (because I have these DLCs) - screen in polish, sorry.
    I'm not sure why this is showing as missing in the library as a whole.

    Thank you for changes!

    Personally, if there were any AMS2 DLC I did not already own, then I would really appreciate the option to obtain "All Remaining Content" in a single purchase, which automatically applies any current sale prices, promotions, etc. That way, AMS2 owners could easily and skilfully pit for a splash & go, for the win.

    I like the option of keeping the individual dlcs (racin usa 1-3, monza, spa, e.t.c) and removing the expansion packs and season pass and maybe more bundles.
    I believe the option of choice should not be underestimated especially for newer players. When i was new to the sim, I was not comfortable getting the racin usa expansion pack and started with part 1 that i found more appealing. This did lead me down the road of owning everything but i dont think it would have started if I had to get everything because i wanted one.
    A way to look at it now is if there was an endurance expansion pack containing the three endurance packs and I just wanted to get the LMP2's. I would rather just get endurace pt2 pack than having no choice but to get the entire endurance expansion pack (even if it got cheaper).
    Yes, the dlc list might still have some distance to it, but that just comes with the age of the game and increased content. It'll at least be more streamlined this way with no dlcs inside of dlcs
