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 lazy graphics that were stolen from prison architect in the first place.
Dont get me wrong, the game is lots of fun. But the devs need a reality check. For the price they’re charging they need to offer way more.

The game is $35 USD, not $100.
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. 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 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.

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.

The base game is fully playable without any of the expansions and has a solid amount of content.
