Internet access required locks? You can play steam games offline, with no internet, as long as it isn't an online game.

but GOG is a very good additional way to distribute the product and alternative to Steam. Not everyone wants to create an account to play a game. Other developers do it too.

Prefer to sell a product, it does make sense to have more sources than just one. However, the developer must decide how much he wants buyer for his Game. Only Steam gamers or gamers outside of Steam.

Why are people complaining about the game being abandoned? First of all, I've seen abandoned games in many of the EA games I supported and this one isn't even close.

Remember when games were released on consoles with no internet access? By today's popular definition of abandoned, you can claim that every game released on the older consoles were abandoned the second they released. The same for pre-Internet PC games. There was no way to update any of those games, so what you paid for is exactly what you got, no more, no less.

Even if Rimworld has actually been "abandoned" I'd say it's a pretty thorough enough game to be considered a full game by most standards. SO just enjoy it for what it is and stop worrying about "abandoned" or not!

Besides, doesn't 'abandoned' contain 'done'? So by my calculations, it should be more than done!
I like how this game can result in quotes that would be quite unnerving when said in public, out of context. - Myself

Really though, the price paid is pretty good for all the content we have, but it is by no standards "Done". People buy it expecting additional content, and there's TONS of just pure content that can be added without even adding new mechanics.

According FAQ I get a Steam key, since I bought Rimworld after 04.11.2014 and only keys are given when you bought Rimworld before 04.11.2014.

I would Rimworld anyway buy a second time, to get a Steam key.

GOG would be a better solution (alternative), since with GOG no keys for the Games needed. I see only advantages in GOG.
