Terraria is another example of the handful of games that actually provide free continuous content over their lifetime, same goes for Stardew Valley. Fact is that's the extreme minority of games and when it comes to strategy games, Rimworld and DF are the only ones.

I'd put all these games on the same tiny arse pedestal of good value, and I'm happy paying $20 every few years to support a dev to keep doing what they do.

Attacking them over 99% of the rest of the industry is fucking stupid however.
