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.
The mods don't detract from the value of the game. If anything, that still enhances it being worth it due to the fostering of an active and thriving modding community, something most games can only dream of having. You're grasping at straws to put down a fun game that you can get hundreds of hours out of, all to suggest that $35 isn't worth it.
I just don't get why this would be a hill to die on, when most AAA games won't get below $20 in 5 years (Rimworld being 4 years old) and you're lucky to get beyond 15 hours in most of those games, and those that do have more are exclusively open world and padded to all hell, and even that is usually less than 40 hours. Do the math. $20 for 15 hours, or $35 for 100+ hours. Sounds worth it to me.
