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.
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.

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.
