I’ll continue pirating rimworld, sorry but you’re not worth the 30+ price sticker. Maybe if you were realistic like risk of rain 2 I would purchase your product.
I have to disagree about being worth it. It's given me hundreds of hours of content. That's a lot more than most other games.
Are there other games that can do the same thing for cheaper? Sure, I can name some as well. But the idea that Rimworld isn't worth it just because something like Terraria also exists isn't really addressing whether Rimworld is worth it, and more that there are better deals that exist.
That said, Tynan (Rimworld dev) definitely subscribes to the Nintendo model of discounts.
Agreed. Tynan is an ethical developer and the $30 I paid for it was more than worth it without any expansion packs. The price has gone up a grand total of $5 since I bought it. I'm no moralizer about piracy and I've done it myself but none of the typical justifications for piracy apply here.
Meh, if people still want to pirate it, I'm not going to lambast them for it. It's their life. But the idea that the game isn't worth the price? It's a load of shit, and that's as someone who still hasn't bought 2 of the 3 DLC that has come out (mostly because I haven't picked Rimworld up for a while and I'll probably get them when I relapse to play another couple hundred hours, not because "they're too expensive".
Anyone who's played the game knows that the price isn't too steep, and if you do think that, maybe Rimworld isn't a game you're going to get the most out of to begin with.
And rimworld is notorious for never going on sale for more than 10%. Im sorry but even triple AAA go cheaper, sooner. The og is worth maybe ten with the entire worth the actual asking price.
AAA goes cheaper sooner because it’s trash and people don’t buy it. Rimworld is worth every penny.
God forbid a guy think his work has value and not want to discount it on a whim to try and squeeze more pennies out in exchange for his pride.
Plenty of people have bought it at that price and say its well worth the money, sounds like capitalism is working exactly as intended in this case.
Yes, I did make reference to that by also poking fun at/criticising Nintendo.
Even on discount, those games are neither worth it, nor give anywhere near as much in hours of gameplay. This isn't a good metric for comparison.
It seems that your concern is less the price, and the fact that the price doesn't go down. The game is worth the price. Even just doing the "dollar per hour" metric, the game is incredibly cost effective for the entertainment you recieve.
You're so used to indie games being cheap that when one knows its value and just how much YOU, the end consumer, will get out of the game it's somehow deemed "not worth it".
A better deal does not mean that Rimworld isn't worth the price. It just means that others are willing to sell what they've got for less. "Is the game worth the price" has nothing to do with whether or not it goes on sale. It's purely about whether it is worth paying that price point for what you get out of it. And the answer is resoundingly that Rimworld is worth it, even when there are better deals out there.
The game is far outpaced by the mods for it. That’s the sad truth, if the product kept its value over time then maybe it would have more than two half assed updates that mods did better beforehand.
Rimworld is an extremely complex game, one of the highest rated games on Steam while being one of the most reviewed games on Steam, and it offers endless replayability. In what world is that not worth $30?
“Extremely complex” is a very high mark for a game that needs more modding than Skyrim to function to any degree of real playability. Like I said before, I’ve had more fun playing risk of rain 2 for the 10 bucks I spent on it playing with friends than anyone has had on the 30 dollar game that has been out for longer with not real bonuses aside from heavy modding. Even the Skyrim special editions are cheaper over time.
So wait, you get to add value to RoR2 through playing with your friends, but Rimworld doesn't get that same benefit for modding? Sounds arbitrary.
"Not worth 30 bucks"
I could tell you, but I can already hear you preordering the next Call of Duty.
I think I bought the game when it was way cheaper. It's a shame now indie games raised the price almost to triple A titles.
30 bucks isn’t almost 60 bucks. Stop being retarded.
I'm talking about Australian price, I guess american price is pretty different.
They let you play Rimworld in Australia?
Very. You guys have to pay import taxes or something on digital products.
Well AAA is about to be across the board $70…. $30 is the new $15
