That post just reminds me how much I still love Terraria and its endless updates with more QoL adds each time, on top of an increasingly robust modding community that adds even MORE QoL adds and really cool cheat functions for those who just want to build cool homes after playing out the exploration aspect.

I feel like it's been 4 or 5 times now that they've released a huge content update, said it was the last one, only to later announce another huge content update. These things are free. How are they sustaining this?

Same with Stardew Valley, though the updates are fewer. The dev has said all updates will always be free--no paid DLC.

Also I think Terraria is still making money, at this point its been what, 9 years? That's enough time for people to grow up and get interested in Terraria and the game is cheap and dense enough to be a really good buy. Also ports, they just released a switch port so they are basically doing the same thing skyrim does but it actually is a better game every time they do so. Except for the mobile version, that one is apparently quite bad now compared to its previous version.

Think about how many copies Terraria has sold. It's in the millions. It was made by like...six people. My guess is that they're looking at their gigantic bags of money and going "you know what, we're set." Plus it just keeps selling more copies anyway so it isn't like they aren't getting paid.

The Nintendo Tax is kind of crazy. Used Switch games from release are still 50 bucks and up. Their eshop actually has things go on sale sometimes at least, including, very rarely, older first party games, but 30 bucks for an 8 year old game isn’t that out of place for a Nintendo console.

Something something God's System and Worth it for Portable

They also have disposable income out the rear end because dropping $400 immediately to save $80 on new games was feasible. And that makes my broke rear end jealous

Whether Nintendo knew what they were doing or not (and who can tell?) the Switch did show me that there's a lot of games I'm not interested in playing on my PC but will inexplicably play in short-form portable gaming sessions.

And to think I only bought it for Splat 2

Look selling old games for $30 when they were $60 at release is still greedy, but hey makes sense it costs less than when it came out.

Terraria cost $10, regularly on sale for $5 or less. 8 years pass and it costs $30. Apparently it's the publisher 505 games being greedy fucks.

I got my money's worth out of the switch port. I'm probably doing the same with the Baldur's Gate port next month. It's cheap elsewhere but if I put a couple hundred hours in the markup doesn't mean that much.

Is it any different from the Baldurs Gate Enhanced Edition you can get for literally any mobile device for a fraction of the price?

People always seem to attribute stuff like that to the Switch tax when in reality it's because if you port a game over to a new system, you're not going to price it at bargain bin prices, you're going to start high and then eventually being it lower over time.

Edit: released on ps4 for $30 too so I don't know what the confusion is about

I could save 20 bucks by trying to play on my tiny rear end phone or I could just buy it for an actual gaming system that's fun to use.

Epic still shows Coming Soon for me, which is lame. At least all the Batman games are free for whatever reason.

Edit - devs say 9 am PST for NA folks, both Switch and Epic. What thread is this again?

Not like goat simulator at all to be honest. More Metal Gear Solid, if Snake was an arsehole who stole people's sandwiches and dropped them in a pond [I]for no reason[/].

Two more little things: the plinky-plonk piano soundtrack is PERFECT and v silent movie, and the noise of the honk varies depending on what's in the horrible goose's beak.

Buddy if a canada goose comes at me honking aggressively I am not ashamed to roundhouse kick it until it learns its lesson. You live in Canada, you learn this well.

Whoever Joey Freshwater is, or rather was, I suspect they're now laying dead on the floor of their room and their computer is being operated by a Canadian Goose as we speak. Just nod, play along, and call animal control... :ohdear:.

You roundhouse kicked a goose? Are you mad, man? You do NOT piss off the goose more than you have to, otherwise they WILL hunt you down and make your life a living hell, the only release being the cold, icy grip of winter's Embrace. And guess what, winter's embrace is getting shorter every year.
