I’m on the opposite side, I’ve not purchased any dlc and I’m very happy with my time spent with the game, also without mods I feel like there’s more than enough to keep me going (along with a dozen other AAA+quality indie games vying for my attention) I’ve long been on the fence for purchasing dlc for any of them because I already don’t have enough time to play them all.
(Factorio, satisfactory, dwarf fortress, against the storm, monster train, slay the spire, pioneer of pagonia, Mount and blade, faster than light, and Oxygen not included, with plenty more on my radar, I love rim world, and if it were the only game I undoubtedly would’ve gone into mods and dlc, but there’s not enough resources, maybe Randy will bless me with more time and money).
I love writing them reviews and saying nice things in their discussion boards, if the dlc were bundled or went on significant sale I’d snap it up in a heartbeat, but then it would loom over me for not spending more time playing it (it would loom even more if purchased at full price, and name me feel guilty for enjoying other games)
That’s kinda where I was sitting when I got the dlc. I had played thousands of hours and was moving my way into factorio and satisfactory. I bought biotech bc I loved rimworld, but I’ve not even finished an entire playthrough since.
It would be much more enticing if the gameplay loop was changed, but adding more nuance to said loop does not make enough difference to justify paying what is a significant portion of a new games price.
That said, if there was a bundle with the same and all of its expansions, and someone asked me which one to get i would advise them to get the complete package, even though I’ve never experienced it myself, because I’m sure it’s worth it, but it’s not for me.
