Hot take alert:
Wow another $30 dlc for a game that never goes on sale. How much are they charging for rimworld now? Oh yeah, $100, not including the new dlc, so let’s say $130 for an indie game with rampant balance issues and lazy graphics that were stolen from prison architect in the first place.
Dont get me wrong, the game can be really enjoyable at times. But the devs need a reality check. For the price they’re charging they need to offer way more.
Nor do you have to buy the DLC if you think $20 a year is too much for you. For me I’m more than happy to pay such a low cost for the thousands of hours of entertainment this game provides.
Rimworld offers more than almost any other game does on a dollar/hour basis. I’ll take “lazy graphics” over the latest bullshit AAAA GaaS MMOFPSRPG Survival Horror with it’s $30 lootbox battlepass and $20 recoloured skins bullshit that is released.
A small demo portion of the game is $35, which is absurd in and of itself. The full game is now over $100. In no world is that considered a “low cost”, especially not for the caliber of game being offered.
Also I’m not even going to bother responding to your sad false dichotomy.
No, the devs are being intentionally dishonest by pretending what was once the full game can still be considered as such. They have created so much more content for the game, you can no longer reasonably define the “base game” as the “full experience”. At this moment, if a person wanted to play rimworld in its entire and complete form, it would cost them over $100. There are no bundle deals, the game barely ever goes on sale, the devs are clearly trying to maximize profit, an action which would be met with judgement and criticism in any other circumstance, as it should.
Wow so because the devs have contiously added to the game over the past 6 years, that calling the base game the base game is no longer viable? That is the stupidest take I’ve heard in a while. Where do you think the funds come from to support a game with new content for over 6 years? The fucking expansions.
Please share with us your idea of a game worth it’s value? I’m dying to know what you think is worthy if not RimWorld of all fucking games.
Terraria is another example of the handful of games that actually provide free continuous content over their lifetime, same goes for Stardew Valley. Fact is that’s the extreme minority of games and when it comes to strategy games, Rimworld and DF are the only ones.
I’d put all these games on the same tiny arse pedestal of good value, and I’m happy paying $20 every few years to support a dev to keep doing what they do.
Attacking them over 99% of the rest of the industry is fucking stupid however.

The game is $35 USD, not $100.

The base game is fully playable without any of the expansions and has a solid amount of content.
No, the full base game is $35. You’re being intentionally dishonest by pretending it’s not.
Please share your idea of a game worth its cost.

Y’all seem like you’re having fun in the corner but that’s not a great comeback when Terraria is just sitting there.
