Minecraft is also the only base game I know with a retail price that keeps going up instead of down. Quite bizarre if you think about it.
Minecraft is one of the only base games on the market that is perpetually having content and features added to it. For free.
And I don’t know of any developer other than Mojang that prioritizes and targets bug fixing to such a high degree.
Edit: TIL, some people see the phrase “one of the only” and think it means “the only”.
Terraia and No Man's Sky certainly leap to mind.
Stardew Valley... i'm sure there's more
Space Engineers.
Factorio
Well factorio doesn't seem to be getting free updates anymore, that was mostly only during early access. They've decided to do paid DLC now instead.
The point is Minecraft is far from the only game that gets free updates.
Yeah definitely
It would be cool to have a big ass list of games that do that though. Maybe wikipedia has one, or some steam forum guide. That would be a lot of work.
That's not true. Wube is working of a big Factorio 2.0 style update. They push updated on what they're doing every other Friday, and they all go in detail and are very interesting.
Factorio 2.0 will shine brighter than ever before. Also, there is murmurs of possibly open sourcing faction later in the lifecycle.
Didn't space engineers get abandoned? Or was that the medieval one
The medieval one. Space Engineers is still getting free quarterly up dates.
Deep rock galactic is fantastic, highly recommend
A lot of devs do it, you just don't play them so you think it doesn't happen.
How about Wubes Factorio?
Factorio is always the same price... and the big 2.0 update is next month... with a paid DLC Expansion coming.
Well, kinda the same price, they sometimes up it to account for inflation. I do see the DLC difference (this could be said to be an equivalent of for example Minecraft Dungeons with the amount of content, but I see how it is kinda "more of the same"). Anyway, the 2.0 update does bring a lot to the base game for free.
And it's definitely worth the money! Just odd. I fully expected them to develop Minecraft 2 and 3 years ago to cash in and overwork some of the basics but that didn't happen for better or worse, but probably better. It remains to be a truly unique game till this day.
Well, "Minecraft 2" was arguably Minecraft: Dungeons which as we all know categorically failed to set the world on fire.
That's definitely just a spin-off. It's an entirely different genre of game and was never intended to be sequel. Same goes for the choose-your-own-adventure one.
