Title: Purchasing Rimworld
Post by: Dagina on January 22, 2016, 02:52:17 AM
Ive never really bought any games outside of steam and i've decided too buy Rimworld but it says $30 but i don't know what form? Au, US, euro, Which one???

I absolutely love the game when i found it on steam greenlight ages ago, never purchased it but thought it had great potential, now i want too buy it, just wanted too know how much it would really cost me, as well as if the payment methods are 100% safe.

You should wait the steam release with me because it will come out in a few month and with steam you can get better modding and updating services. Tynan also stated that he can't promise that you will also get a steam version for free if you brought it now.

Alright, thanks, I've been waiting for ages and i was iffy about it cause its been there for so long, id purchase it as soon as it came out on steam (Unless it was suddenly like $50 USD, i still personally think $30 is too much $20 is good) but yey i could wait a few more months then xD

I'm brazillian, and right now $30 dollars is 5 times the local coin in here. (So it's like being 150 brazillian coins)

The game is 100% worth it. Trust me

I am psyched for this to come out on steam already.  Since they can't guarantee steam keys with pre-purchase off their website, many of us have just been playing the pirated copies floating around while waiting to be able to buy it properly through steam.  It will be nice to finally be able to buy a legit copy.  Hope it is sooner than later.

If you're talking about Steam Workshop when you mention better modding, it's not necessarily planned. https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=7498.msg77441#msg77441

Happy I bought it over a year ago, and not waiting for the Steam release. When it releases on Steam I'll buy it one more time. Best money spent in ages I tell you! Playing this game made me instantly lose interest for all other games the last year.

Considering Tynan lives in Quebec Canada, and Ludeon Studios exists in Quebec, then the price should be in Canadian dollars. Our dollar (I'm from Canada too) isn't doing so well, so its significantly less than USD. If we converted $30 CAD to USD it would be = $21.24 USD.

I'm going to take back what I said about Workshop. I just noticed the changelog shows a note of workshop integration in July so it's still possible(?)

The price is USD because that's the global currency people know. Only a tiny percentage of sales are to Canadians.

Steam Workshop integration was done some time ago :D So it'll be there at Steam release.

Yeah as a Canadian, you don't want to buy anything in Canadian dollars right now...

As a South African, you don't want to buy anything beyond the border at the moment...1USD = 16.5ZAR...I miss the days of $1 = R5 :(

As a 30-something Indonesian, I remember the days when USD 1 = IDR 2000-ish. It's now floating between IDR 13000 and 14000, sometimes 15000 in particularly turmoil times.

30 bucks isn't too much at all.. I paid more than that in kickstarter - and i've had more fun with this - and COUNTLESS hours of gameplay from this than in almost any other game.
30$ to much.. Pft.

I'm not that fully aware of how the economy on the other contries is doing, but here in brazil, men... if nothing get's done really quickly, we will be in a crisis that will take more than 10 years to recover. That if we don't turn into Venezuela or Cuba during that time. Things are really rough.

This time last year, we were in a ratio of 1USD = 2,3BRL. Now it is fluctuating between 1USD = 4,20BRL. Our minimal wage is around 800BRL, so that would be 200USD... how the **** am I suppose to live like this?

Whinning aside, The game is fully worth the money spent, without any doubt.

Edited, thanks Zombie2

Uh, you just said 1BRL = 4.20USD, not 4 BRL = 1 usd, which from the 800-200 I think you meant.
