Comment on Which game have you been most patient for?
Berttheduck@lemmy.ml 1 day agoThe dev is quite against the deep discount sales for Rimworld, it never drops below a few quid off. It is 100% worth it at full price however so take the plunge when you’re ready, you won’t regret it. I’ve got a good few hundred hours, it’s one of my most played games. I come back and start a new colony at least once a year or so. All the explanations are great and add something cool to the base game. I haven’t even looked at mods for it yet but there’s a huge scene for those.

I see it like Factorio. It started as a crowdfund/Kickstarter so selling it below the price the backers paid diminishes the trust the backers showed.

Imo that’s backwards. Who cares. The backers backed it because they believed in the vision, and now it’s been realized, so it’s done.
It’d be like getting mad that I bought a game full-price and then some time later it goes on sale.

Hell, I hope someone over there is reading this:
Considering your crowd-funded game’s MSRP floor as equal to a donation tier of said backers?
Easy solve.
Announce the sale and follow immediately with “Backer’s Choice”: either a refund of the difference or a free copy to gift to someone.
Boom. Sales through the roof like beanstalks.
Now, go get me that golden egg, ya marketing spooks.🤌🏼
