Another excellent example of this working is Factorio.

The original game doesn't cost a fortune, it's made by a small extremely dedicated team. They polished it so hard the shine made everything else look like vanta black. Playing Factorio ruins other games because the depth and quality of everything else is so poor in comparison.

The game came out in like 2013 early access. Full release completed in 2020. A decade after initial launch, they are going to offer a DLC, that will cost money.

Absolutely happy to pay for a DLC for that perfection.

    I'm not happy to pay money for that DLC.

    Are you kidding me? Already have 1400 hours in the game. And if this DLC is gonna double the base game, I'm screwed.

    Yep.

    I pirated Factorio way back when it first came out (0.72?) and I actually didn't like it. It was... Bad.

    A few months later someone suggested I give it another go, so I pirated it again. It was a lot better. Like way better. I did a couple of months and was like .. this is soooo good I'm buying it.

    I will pre buy the dlc the moment it's available.
