Unfortunate really, we could hold a higher standard for things and get way more and way better stuff but the people who would appreciate that most are also the ones stamping out any critic in sight.

Well there is certainly a lot of reasons why:

One is because Steam has no interest in investigating the bot farm and paid review problems that are rampant on this platform. So there is a lot of artificial positivity / support.

Two is because the Steam ToS and moderation bans arguments which is a rule that favors people who support a game instead of those who criticize a game. Because all people who support a game have to do is fight with people who criticize a game to get any criticism removed. Which leads to mass simping and toxic positivity, creating echo chambers that are as anti-consumer as it gets.

Three is because Steam more or less the "top dog" right now as a games distributor, which means the company has become complacent, lazy, and greedy. As Steam does not care how bad things get so long as it keeps being able to collect its 30% and encouraging AAA devs to publish games on this platform. By the time Steam does all fall apart, the corrupt managers at the top will jump ship after ignoring years of pretending like they did not just watch as bad practices and they were poking holes in the ship for their own self-interest.

If this was the norm and not the exception, why do most AAA games sit at a mostly negative rating? Don't you think multibillion dollar companies could afford buying bots to fake reviews?

Absolute BS. I've been playing since the early alpha days and this game pretty much ALWAYS had a bunch of attention surrounding it. One of the big reasons for that is how it took the style of Prison architect right when that was booming in popularity. To act like this game was ever a lesser known indie is just ridiculous. They had far more sales than most games do so early in development with fairly well known youtubers covering it back when it was an Alpha with about 3 hours worth of content.

Furthermore, all of your comment is just cope pretending that overpaying for lackluster content is somehow justified because they 'deserve it'. Ignoring that this is the VERY type of sentiment that all fanboys use for plenty of anti-consumer companies (like Blizzard) and one of the primary reasons for them becoming that way was because their fanbase didn't hold them to any kind of standard. But no, you're different... They're different. Apparently.

History has proven that this kind of thinking is downright damaging to the industry. At the end of the day, games are a business. They could half the price of these DLCs and still make a ludicrous amount of money for the effort they put in. When you look at the developers for games like Terraria that only charged €10 for the game, whilst releasing free content consistently, it's ridiculous you think Rimworld's developers deserve your money or positive perception.

1- I never said it wasn't popular, only that it exploded after hitting steam. What are you on? Stop being delusional to make your point. The couple hundred thousands turned into millions of customers when steam rolled around.
2- If the content is 'lack luster' nobody is forcing you to buy the DLC. If a product does not sell, they wont make more of it. After 10 years, people are still buying the game, and DLC. Obviously they're making more of it because it's selling. You also have 52 hours in-game, how invested are you truly, that you you're trying to argue about a game you have 52 hours in, and even if you did play hundreds of thousands of hours before 1.0, it's changed so much its not even the same game any more. So you can try, but considering you havent even played it recently, but have played 50 hours of counter strike 2, its hard to take you seriously.
3- I will pay whatever I think a game is worth, and after 1.552 hours on steam, and way double that since A9 I would rebuy this game every DLC if i was forced to, even to this day I gift-purchase this game constantly. This has been the best money-to-time purchase i've made in my entire life.

Get off your hate chair, you Simply dont like this game and are seething that others are enjoying it.

You own multiple versions of Skyrim, complaining about fans buying 'overpirced' DLC, you're the definition of;
"people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"

bro did you actually stalk his profile and go through his 777 game library so you could find a game to dunk on him for buying? that's really sad fanboy behaviour. and he only owns skyrim legendary edition and special edition and everyone got special edition for FREE if they owned legendary edition.

It's good optics to see how long some one has played a game to understand how well informed their opinion is. I saw what I saw. Don't want people seeing your profile? It's friends only by default, or private. It's been a long time, I just know it isn't public.

Im sorry if me trying to be informed by public information that is viewable by everyone is that bothersome.

P.S. mine is free too. You can take some digs at me if you feel so compelled to defend a stranger. Look 172 hours, you could call me a no-life, despite that I now have people working for me and can do what I love all day, or how I own Helldivers and only follow fads or something. Take your pick. Hell, leave a mean comment. I won't delete it so long it isn't racist.

I love how people saying they enjoy what a DLC provides is "fanboy behavior" or "bootlicking" like buddy it's a virtual game no matter how "content filled" it is you're still sitting on a swivel chair playing a waste of time that won't develop you any meaningful skills, let people make their own choices on what flavor of procrastination they want to spend on.

Also no, you don't need the Rimworld DLC to have fun on it. If you think the content is lackluster for its pricetag, cool, nobody's stopping you from refusing to purchase it. Don't know why that point needs to be said when the only meaningful point you can make on any market is by voting with your wallet anyways.

I personally thought the concept was interesting enough to give it a go, that is my preference.

Frankly there's no point arguing the price, a lot of the fanbase to their own detriment would pay hundreds for the DLC if they could. Unfortunate really, we could hold a higher standard for things and get way more and way better stuff but the people who would appreciate that most are also the ones stamping out any critic in sight.

People will buy the game if they think it's worth it. This game had no marketing, was in beta for nearly 5 years, and a decade later people are still buying it enough that there is no need for it going on discounts to attract people, as those who are interested have already bought it.

Before you say "but sales will grow the fanbase" listen, in a word of 70 dollar AAA garbage that you play over the weekend and never touch again. Anyone worth their salt would look at the reviews, see the positives AND negatives. Most with hundreds if not thousands of hours of in-game time and they should have a clue of what to expenct. If they're sitting there thinking; "Hey, for 20 bucks? at .05 cents USD an hour of fun for 500? While also getting updates a decade later? Nah, not convinced" Then honestly? Good riddance.

Many are way past 70.00 now. I dropped 149.99 on Assassins Creed Mirage and at 34 hours I got the 100% achievement so basically I have seen everything that game offers in 34 hours and it was way more expensive than Rimworld.
