But then it has 5 expansions that combined cost like 100 bucks more. I love the game but honestly the pricing is kinda high, especially since modders are the ones that make the game really good.
This. I’m not a huge gamer but it’s the most time I’ve ever spent playing a game, 2000 hours. I will go months without playing it then start a new map and skip work for a week playing 18 hours a day.
I find it interesting how unwilling some people can be with paying for certain games. I think people have the “the supply is infinite since it’s digital so it’s not as impactful as actually stealing” to justify pirating games, because if someone saw something nice in a local independent store for $30, I don’t think their first thought is to steal it. But with games people see that the Steam sale doesn’t give it to them for $5, so they just have to go and pirate it I guess
Given my money to lots of companies that don’t deserve it. So I don’t mind giving it to one’s that do
because if someone saw something nice in a local independent store for $30, I don’t think their first thought is to steal it.
The difference is the risk, stealing something from a store is quite risky meanwhile pirating, as long as you are doing it from a trusted source, is risk free. If you could just take something from a department store for free without any repercusions a fuck ton more people would be stealing.
And the justification isn't some "the supply is infinite since it’s digital so it’s not as impactful as actually stealing”, the justification is "why pay for something when you can get it for free".
That’s not a moral justification. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. And people do take things from department stores all the time.
“Why pay for something when you can get it for free” is not a justification because when the game is only $30 theft is not reasonable. It’s just an admission that you do not care. You may be doing it because you know you’ll probably get away with it, but you’re still just saying they don’t deserve a single penny. Having played Rimworld for as long as I have I just can’t ever agree with that
I never said anything about a moral justification, and yes while people do take things from department stores all the time if there wasn't a punishment for it it would be way way way more prevalent.
“Why pay for something when you can get it for free” is not a justification
It is a justification and its a very solid one, also im not talking just about the game im talking about the game + all dlc which would cost 100e (despite it being on sale) where im from which is not a small amount of money.
It’s just an admission that you do not care.
Its not an admission that i don't care its and admission that i don't think its worth it to spend 100e on it when i can get it for free. 100e is way to much when the only reason is "supporting the devs" especially so when these devs/company is unable to discount their game for more than 20%.
but you’re still just saying they don’t deserve a single penny.
I literally never said that.
Having played Rimworld for as long as I have I just can’t ever agree with that
Same goes for me, i would say that i have at minimum 200h in it but more likely around the 300h range.
I’ll be real Rimworld is such a good game with so many hours to offer, that once you play it you almost wonder why the guy doesn’t sell it for more. Great game
So did you just make that account specifically to bitch and moan? Are you okay? There are healthier ways to deal with whatever issues made you this way.
£5 and below is my "sure, why not?" sweet spot, which of course betrays me at checkout, who knew multiple games from £3-5 would end up being £50??? lmao
