Terraria is like the anti-modern game. They absolutely refuse to evilly monetize their game at all. The playerbase is almost on their knees, begging them to move on from Terraria and make something else (not because Terraria is bad, but they've been at it for over a decade!) and they continue to churn out updates. The fanbase voted for a set of features to appear in Terraria 2, which they then turned around and scrapped, and added it as an update to Terraria. And all their updates are always free. And can't forget about their amazing mod support.

And redigit is just, like, the man.

They'll stop updating the game whenever the Attack on Titan anime actually ends.

I love how they keep saying they will have a final update, and then they just keep updating it regardless. It's really impressive.

[-] spriteblood@kbin.social 50 points 2 years ago

Also their game is literally $10 USD on Steam, compared to all the $70 ones that have been coming out lately.

[-] rustyricotta@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 years ago

And regularly on sale for $5.

Tbf it takes a significantly smaller team to develop a 2d platforming game like terraria. The overhead for art and design is mush simpler too than something like a Cyberpunk 2077

[-] scv@discuss.online 17 points 2 years ago

Also Terraria is a lot of fun and more replayable than most $70 games.

I don't game at all, but I now feel like buying the game just to show my support to these awesome devs.

[-] Shush@reddthat.com 10 points 2 years ago

Same. I do game, just games like Terraria aren't my taste, but I'll still buy the game on my accounts to show my support to them.
