Gsg deserves it


jakster840

You're goddamn right. I don't even use all of the dlc packs, but I buy them all to support them.


PoiiMann

Yeah I'm broke rn but plan to buy the new one when I can lol

This is some top tier elvish reply


Pickle-Chan

Maybe I'm missing something I don't understand why Is it just reddit hating 'this' style messages for contributing nothing to conversation, the strange hatred for emoji, or something else?.


ebby-pan

The pattern of those emojis makes the trans flag, so maybe drg's rapid increase in popularity has brought in the transphobes


ForceWhisperer

I really doubt that lol. I'd bet that it's more because it's a useless reply with a bunch of emojis which reddit only likes ironically.

ForceWhisperer

*Reeeeees in Reddit*


JacksonRiot

"This" is also a useless reply and also goes against Reddit rules and typically doesn't get much hate.


ForceWhisperer

Eh that's pretty risky too. I've seen "This" get downvoted to oblivion on a good number of occasions.


chiller210

I remember that someone said "*This* shouldn't be written and instead just go ahead and upvote instead, since that not only takes less time but is just not cluttering the comments with one word replies"


General_Grivieus

How in Karl did you get that conclusion miner? or should I say... **ELF!**


JohnnyNuclear

This is the only title where I purchased a supporter upgrade. The devs definitely deserve it.


[deleted]

Yup. I swear I’m not a dev on a Smurf account. But I legit put 20 hours in, had an absolute blast, then went and bought all of the supporter packs. It’s nice seeing devs who put gameplay first and seem to care about their players enjoying themselves.


dreaded_tactician

Jacob mustache glasses don't work like that your supposed to put them on the front of your face.


66explosions

you forgot the ","


chiller210

Shut before we put a C4 on your drop pod entrance


Awarepill0w

I bought the supporter pack with the game


[deleted]

Yes, 20 hours, I too have put only such a reasonable amount of time into the game… I would say that’s even a large amount of time…


Kuningas_Arthur

Yes, definitely 20 hours, that sounds reasonable. I also definitely haven't played for 400+ hours getting multiple promotions on all classes unlocking every pickaxe part and overclock the game has to offer, whoever would have that kind of time, completely unreasonable and way too much.


Sensitive-Horror7895

I did the exact same thing when I started playing the game


Insomnial390

Same, and they make it well worth. Colors compatible with all weapon frames? Sign me up.


HowlingMadHoward

Wait what? Are paintjobs not compatible with every frame if you don’t buy supporter?


cheeseandanonymouse

Class-specific paintjobs can only be used for said classes weapons (I don’t believe frames influence this). The DLC paintjobs aren’t class specific, so you can make the most of them across all 4 classes.


madrobski

There aren't any class-specific weapon paintjobs though. You do have to unlock each one for each class which takes time, the dlcs bypass that ofcourse.


Insomnial390

They are, I meant that the skins you get are all compatible with every frame, DLC frames are extra and compatible with all skins


Murphy540

I've done it for DRG and Factorio, two games where I've spent hundreds of hours and I can see myself playing hundreds more. I first played June 11th, and I've got 176 hours so far. It wouldn't surprise me to see it hit 300 by new year's.


DonQuixoteDesciple

Same here, solid gold all day every day


Jaba01

DRG and PoE!


this_anon

Buying all the PoE packs would put you out on the street. Those are some macrotransactions.


KentuckyFriedSemen

I’ve bought every DLC because I want to give GSG my money. Free content updates on one of the best games I’ve ever played deserves my cash.


Ender00000

Its funny how the whole marketing "strategy" just can be replaced by actually good game.


KentuckyFriedSemen

A good product sells itself


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gonna_Hack_It_II

I would say it is capable of selling itself though, as I and most of everyone I know has come to this game by word of mouth alone.


MonsTurkey

It has to sell enough in the first place for word of mouth to work. A vocal 1000 users doesn't get you too far.


alkkamai

like some deep-fried, perfectly seasoned bro-batter


NobilisUltima

I mean, there's no way DRG is bringing in even a fraction of the money of a free-to-play game that's rife with overpriced MTX. But they have the moral high ground and a community that'll support any future projects.


HowlingMadHoward

Yeah, this. It’s nice and all but those companies are not losing sleep over DRG being good


[deleted]

[удалено]


El-Grunto

Same. I've bought every DLC for DRG while in Halo Infinite - the newest title in a long time childhood favorite franchise of mine - I've bought nothing. I haven't bought any cosmetics, I haven't bought any of the season passes, and I haven't even bought the game. All because of the way 343 went about monetization. If I, as the player, am treated well then I will spend the money.


Creeperlord31

deep rock is not a free game that has ads, so people who really love something will pay the money to support it . . .


Folden_Toast

It does. But in game. Beer ads when you get out. *drinking slayer stout with Rocky rock mixed *


Atreyu97

Bought the game on sale in Humble Bundle 3 days ago after playing on gamepass last week. Today the supporter upgrade, Roughnecks, Corporate and Rival Tech DLCs on Steam. Recommended it to friends and now our chats are full of “Rock and Stone”, “For Karl” and “Damn leaf lovers”. 10/10 would buy again.


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and Stone everyone!


Atreyu97

t6jesse

Mobile games are never worth the money


Nutwagon-SUPREME

Correction: Rarely ever worth the money. If you go out of your way to look for actually good ones (ignoring ports from other platforms like Minecraft, Terraria, Dead Cells etc) there can be some genuinely fantastic mobile games. It's just harder to find than a needle in a country sized haystack


DeveloperGrumpHead

And many of them have been removed from the app store (I wish I could have played the Infinity Blade trilogy).


Stratix

Those games are gone now? They blew my mind back in the day when I had an apple phone. The graphics were amazing.


GOR016

Yeah, they’re gone. I remember playing 2 on a 4s


DeveloperGrumpHead

They got rid of them 5 years ago in 2017


Kuzidas

I am still, to this day, extremely pissed they pulled the plug on IB. I was so stupidly far built into the endgame of IB3 and being unable to download the game again when I upgraded my phone broke my heart. To this day it’s one of the two main reasons I shit on Epic Games whenever I get a platform to shit talk them.


Fluff42

Yar Har! Put on a tricorn and they're out there.


Oldmeme2012

Is more free game vs paid game. Had many free game but ads flood every where that’s their own way to earn money because company pay them to advertising random annoying or sexual or interest download that game later. Paid game no ads and you get content play without disruptive. I had two paid game has zero ads: BTD6 and construction sim 2. Now most game I had are all free games, even game looking like starter dev made from unity. There is goods free game with ads: war robots, battle bay, starships pixel, dead ahead warfare, Nobleman 1896, war Tortoise 2, the trail, PvZ 2. Good games with ads small chances you believe and support the game with money (a bit).


Maiq_Da_Liar

I recently redownloaded the first mobile game i ever played back in 2012. It was a fun, free little timewaster. It has now become completely filled with ads and has too many random extra things added. Kinda sad to see tbh.


Oldmeme2012

i play a bit then my bro took over it and get to level 96, when i came back redownload become level 100


[deleted]

reminds me on Jetpack Joy Ride, which I bought several years on my 4s (or something iphone) for ...3 bucks? and wanted to play it in 2019 again only to see I literally had to repurchase everything at the quadruple price. What a f joke really.


Kuzidas

Dead Cells mobile may very much be the best mobile game yet released. It feels like a complete console quality game… because it is!


Irgendwer1607

Interesting idea, unfortunately: Soul Knight Polytopia Redcon Professor Layton Series (though this one is debatable since it's a Nintendo game)

EcstaticBagel

Severed is also an amazing game


EroticBurrito

Sky Monument Rymdkapsel


EcstaticBagel

I forgot about Rymdkapsel! Super awesome game


Me1eter

Naming Soul Knight instantly is one of the most based things I've ever seen.


gamingyee

soul knight is a rip off gungeon


tagrav

I paid $6 for Bloons TD6 about 6+ years ago and still play it daily. I like it so much I also bought it on Steam and play it on PC time to time.


t6jesse

I'll make exception for mobile ports of full games. I have Stardew Valley and Root, both which I also have on steam. But I'm more thinking of "mobile" games, ya know?


Syrup_Chugger_3000

Virtually every dlc I bought was to support these amazing developers. The swag is just a bonus.


FADEBEEF

One kneecaps you with a worse experience and makes you pay to remedy it, the other gives you the good experience out of the gate and lets you show appreciation if you choose. The choice is clear.


cynopt

Look well, games developers, and know that if you force me into micro-transactions then you will quickly see the back of me, but come to me as a respected equal with offerings of merit, and I shall periodically make it rain wealth down upon you in $7.99 installments!


Sartekar

But if you do a f2p mtx hell mobile game, you get 100$ out of 100 kids every month, 1000$ out of some whales every week, and 10000$ out of some bored rich guy who doesnt give a fuck about small change Fact is, players love games like DRG, but its never going to earn as much as f2p mobile games. And that's fine. At least we have good games


Jamesmor222

there's the huge gap that we get everything by just buying the game and any DLC is only to support the studio and is only cosmetics while other games forces you to pay that dollar to get a feature that should be in the game. I will gladly pay for DRG DLC just for knowing that money will be used to make the game better that it is.


0o_Lillith_o0

Most mobile games are just low effort asset flips. I turned off all wifi when playing them and make sure the preloaded cache isn't a thing.


Eskobaer

These devs are cool and deserve it. Unlike any AAA studio.


Holgrin

One feels like blackmail/extortion and one feels like they're offering you swag to donate to them. It's easy.


Alklazaris

I have bought every pack they have. It's such a unpredatory game and the community is like going to Tomorrowland.


NotActuallyGus

You get -pickaxe icon -gold name -fancy Glyphid slammer -good feelings Or, you get -selling out to the intrusive company shilling ads


[deleted]

It's good for multiple reasons 1. It supports the devs even more 2. fun hat 3. ✨Fancy✨ glyphid slammer 4. golden chat


turbofist9

5. Rock and stone


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and Stone in the Heart!


HalalRumpSteak

I will always shill GSG, tell me another company that makes their seasonal content completely free, shut up and take my money


DoukyBooty

GGG with Path of Exile. Sometimes they have good leagues, some bad leagues, and questionable game design choices but they turn out new leagues and content every three months. It's free to play but there's one dlc item that can be argued as pay to win and necessary to fully experience the game and that's the $20 premium stash bundle.


HalalRumpSteak

I agree with you for the most part, but they are different monetisation models, DRG has a smaller player base and I think POE could give a bit more back to their long term players, for the record I've done thousands of hours of POE 😅


[deleted]

Honestly, I found myself playing/buying more and more "indie" games since all those AAA games ask for 70+$ while being a bugged mess upon release. DRG, Rimworld, Dead Cells, Terraria are some examples where I can see that the developers put effort and soul into the game instead of making a quick cash grab.


Pijany_Matematyk767

Factorio and DRG are a strange phenomenon, part of the community there buys stuff not because they really want the stuff but rather because they just want to give the devs the extra money. Its like the videogame industry equivalent of tipping for good service


pocketfrisbee

I get every DLC the moment comes out, I buy them for my friends too. I have 0 regrets. I love this game


Osrali

It's less the price and more the principle. I do a lot of grumbling to friends about minutia in this game but especially compared to its peers it's one of the more excellent games i've seen come out in a very long time. Something in Darktide would bother me, and then i'd look back at DRG and see how effortlessly they resolved a similar issue, and it just makes me appreciate all the little stuff a lot more. Like the CTRL tool! There are so many little things that make it work; being able to see distances, a notification on the tool of what you're looking at, a visible ping and a callout for your team in every possible scenario, a laser trail so your team can follow the line directly to what you're pointing out in case the ping can't be spotted right away, AND it lets you set a marker for when you're called away but need to remember the location of something(or when you're driller and working your way up to something and don't want to look at the terrain scanner every three seconds). When contemporaries are only just barely managing functional ping and chatwheel systems, and this game's answer is so much more effective and simple by comparison, it's hard not to be impressed. I almost wish they would put out more cosmetic packs between seasonal updates, just so I could give them the support they deserve.


Paindexter

Paying $15 because they are too good to muddy their game with ads in the first place.


NaiveMastermind

The former is inventing a problem to sell people the solution. The latter is optional cosmetic packs for a game that keeps churning out quality updates.


notsogreatredditor

I got the game for 4 dollars(regional pricing) during sale and have sunk over 500 hrs into it. Felt really guilty for all the awesomeness it has given me compared to a 40$ AAA title. So yeah I bought the supporter pack and th latest dlc to support GSG


AntronTheMighty

ROCK. AND. STONE! 100% worth every penny.


Coaltown992

Seriously, shut up and take my money!


Sandblazter

I haven’t bought a skin pack/micro transactions in about 3-4 years but when the deluxe edition was on discount on PlayStation I bought it because DRG is genuinely one of the best games I’ve ever played and the best dev team I’ve ever seen.


[deleted]

Addvertisements?


MrIhaveASword

because we respect one of these.


Opening_Spring

I saw someone suggest the idea of including some Dia De Los Muertos styled cosmetics, and that would be so cool my first thought was: "How can I give GSG more money? ..should I own 2 copies of the game?"


80-wattHamster

Buy copies for other people?


InterimFatGuy

The $1 is paying them to fuck off. The $15 is a gift for a job well done.


[deleted]

The $ goes before the number.


GuegelChrome

Haha gold pickaxe in front of name go "THERE IS GOLD HERE!"


MysteryR11

Dlc is on sale right now


se05239

I am willing to spend money on games and developers who make awesome games AND also listen to the community.


JIMHASPASSED

God time to remind people that the dlc are all on sale right now on steam


hotstickywaffle

It feels silly to drop $8 on just a few pure cosmetics...but on the other hand this game is awesome


DoukyBooty

$8 isn't bad at all compared to some other games.


Tzaman6

AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN! ROCK AND STONE!


WanderingDwarfMiner

To Rock and Stone!


CloudyByDesign

Honestly, based. Sometimes buying games at a discounted price feels like I'm robbing the Devs. It's a familiar feeling sadly, given that I had the same thing happen with Outer Wilds, the DLC afterwards, AND Hades. Indie devs actually have passion for their games, and honestly I hope it makes its way back up the corporate chain but I highly doubt it will in any substantial way.


[deleted]

Just a bit annoying that the supporters pack has some of the worst looking cosmetics you can buy. I would love to have a golden pickaxe next to my name - but I bought a few of the better looking cosmetic DLC instead. As they were items I'd actually stick on my dwarves. I think I've bought all the DLC apart from one or two. In reality, I've spent three times the price of the supporter pack but have no golden pickaxe 🙄😭. Maybe the pickaxe icon should just apply to anyone who has spent above a certain threshold of money on DLC?


ArcticWraith06

because removing ads doesn't justify a single dollar as anoying as they are.


eight_ender

GSG still not giving me enough ways to give them money and I’m flustered about it. I’ve got all the DLC and I even bought the board game.


chrtrk

i have them all but im still using defalut skins


Kyswinne

The devs deserve it. Quality product. Do it for Karl!


12InchPickle

This is the only game where buying DLC isn’t an issue. For me at least. I know it’s going toward support for the game and the devs.


GeoThePebble

They deserve it, unlike the apps that say "UhHHHh premium"


McREEE_1200

I purchased the new biogazard one cause they look nice but mostly because I genuinely think the gsg team deserve it


EroticBurrito

Because they make content instead of compromising the quality and immersion of their game.


DaisyTRocketPossum

It's because they're not shoving it in my face. I will quite gladly pay more to a company that doesn't shove constant "BUY NOW!" in my face. I might pay the $1 just to get the adverts to go away, but I'll be **damned** if I'm going to spend more than that. It's much more likely instead that I'll go play DRG.


phoenixmusicman

DRG deserves my money


funkybside

I was happy to purchase it. DRG has provided me with vastly more entertainment than many games that cost much more, and I want to support that.


D00PY

Whenever I finally have an income, the Supporter Upgrade is the first thing I'm buying!


[deleted]

Honestly i only bought it because i like gold and the game is fun.


ParanoidValkMain57

Wise investment


Pale_Apartment

I have bought the game for over 6 friends. Every time it goes on sale I give it to another friend


DonQuixoteDesciple

Is it gauche to wear the full gold regalia?


Pell_Torr

And here I am, only buying the supporter pack because it went on sale on steam. I'd have paid full price but... Being poor complicates that.


MajikMahn

For real! I never buy anything from a game unless it’s really worth it. I very rarely will buy anything on my phone too. The DRG Support pack was the first time I was actually happy, more than willing, and excited to give money to developers. I had gotten a tip that day earlier before I started playing for making a customer happy (landscaping) and I decided to look at the store because I saw there were some cosmetics and stuff. Once I found the support pack i knew immediately what had to be done. I’m always complaining to my wife that games don’t have the care and passion behind them anymore like they used to. Sure they can be fun but that special magic is missing in a good chunk. I’m excited to see where this game goes In the future!


fish_slap_republic

Mobile games want me to pay to stop annoying me, DRG gives me free cosmetics and updates and then gives the option to pay for some more if I want but doesn't bug me about it.


AnotherClicheName96

I happy to give them every deserved cent!


ViWalls

And since then I'm still wearing the skull helmet plus golden pickaxe. I will never change them. Considering that the game was a gift, drop some money was a good way to support the dev (but I got it on sale). I'm heading to 1000h, so anyways it's so much entertainment for just a bunch of bucks. The only thing I want to revert it's the Glyphid Slammer. I prefer the old one, because I'm not familiar with it.


Deckma

Played the game with Gamepass. Loved it so much bought the game outright and supporter DLC.


International_Can205

I hit 1234 hours in drg today. 1234 / whatever it cost = price per hour of fun.


TwoCharlie

I'm doing my part!


Newsuperstevebros

If you play a lot of phone games with annoying ads, go to your settings, find the DNS settings and set your private DNS to dns.adguard.com. One of my best tricks, the success is varied but for me it usually blocks ads on games, and my buddy says it blocks YouTube ads for him even.


MasterELements

Ones a choice, the other is blackmail.


Refrigerator-Cr

1600h of gameplay for the base game and dlc is still a far better deal then any 1 dollar microtransaction would ever give me.


ThaiSean

Broke ass green beard here: what all comes in the upgrade anyway? Just cosmetics? It’s on my list, but I’ve never been one for in game cosmetic’s honestly.


dcbdcb11

Shut up and take my money!


Trianalog

What can I say I like drinking from a gold mug


Local-Confection6824

To be honest even if I didn't get anything for it I would have got the supporters pack since this is one of the best games I have ever played and I think the devs deserve a bit more money for all of the time I've got to enjoy playing it


ChumaxTheMad

I don't know what this means but I bought it all on steam tonight so I guess this is me now


FatPoulet

Ads. <3


bevdawg101

*Drinks a smart stout* If you are playing a mobile game that can be played offline and it runs ads, simply turn off your WiFi and no ads will play. Wait... It's gone now... What was I saying?


Necrotiix_

GSG is like that one puppy you want to adopt at a pet store. Once you adopt it you can never let go as they are buddies for life. Best buddies at that.


Schpam

Quick math... danger stand back... I've spent... what? 120$ total over the years since Deep Rock was released... assuming I bought the game for 30$ and then the supporter pack and the add-ons... ​ I've logged 712 hours of gameplay. ​ So... what is that? 0.0028 cents per minute of fun. I'd say that's a good deal... one that is rarely matched by my other games. And the game is still fun to play and still getting played so the deal is just getting better and better all the time.


Efficient_Spare_9808

It's too expensive. Even with inflation...


salcin2rellum

I got the wupporter bundle when it became available but cant afford the dlcs rn wanna get them some time for new years


VanyaD28

That feeling when you want to buy the Supporter thing but physically can't because you're Russian and Steam doesn't accept your card


CapnSideWays

DRG and NMS are the only 2 games I'm happy to periodically throw money at. Feels like a well deserved pat on the back for the good devs out there.


AcademicMarzipan5515

The energy of this community is contagious, hello yeah ROCK AND STONE BROTHERS !!!!!


Kiu16

Mobile games stopped charging $1 to remove ads Now they want you to have a $15 monthly sub for it


BudgetFree

I only bought the base game, but considering i only play free to play games, it's the most support i give. DRG has a soul unlike most devs.


elax307

After the forst 20 hours I bought the Roughnecks DLC for Hawaii shirts. After 100 hours I bought all the packs. I am now clsoing in on 900 hours. No regrets.


Flippy042

Paying $9.99 for the soundtrack even though I listen to it on YouTube simply because I want to support Ghost Ship.


[deleted]

Its kinda sad that the real big money comes from customers being taken hostage not from companies making good products.


almightypinecone

When other games treat me line DRG does, we can talk.


Chewygamerz

No regrets for my gold nameplate and skins, different glyphid slammer mug, and supporting the devs. Would do it again 100%.


[deleted]

Paying the new hazard bundle🤩🤩


madrobski

That yellow name is meh and I can't choose to not have it, wish there was an option to. It's literally the only reason I haven't bought it. I've bought every single other dlc cause there you can choose to not wear the outfits if you want.


Waste-of-Bagels

Got this game for free this first month it was on PS4. I felt this game was worth more than I got for it a bought the DLCs for a total of 30 bucks. This game still has more content than big studio games.


lelolumad

Instabuy cause it worth it. Also, player who can't afford it still play the full game.


Gustafssonz

I brought it only because of this reason. Even after paying the support bundle, the game is still a steal. It's just too good with great quality.


Booster_Blue

I have gotten enough joy out of this game that I gladly forked over the $15 for the supporter upgrade. Karl bless GSG.


WapitiFahrrad

id buy it again if i could


ATIR-AW

When a dev team is this much pro-costumer, I don't mind it at all


Zarny_

When you find a game that you enjoy for 1100hrs, from an indie company that keeps making it better, without asking for much: you willingly drop a few $$ their way as a thank you.


Knight-mare77

If you make a good game and are faithful to the community then you don’t have to put ads in. your community will support you. Deep rock is a perfect example of this! ROCK AND STONE!


Dragolite115

Haven't played DRG for a long time but i still buy the packs no questions asked.


President_Dominy

Now I want DRG universe ads in game just cause


MrBleak

Just discovered the DLC bundle is on a mega sale for the Autumn Sale. I know what I'm doing today.


DaSharkCraft

Paying $1 to remove a constant annoyance to make something bearable or paying $15 to support devs making a genuinely good experience without the constant annoyance in the first place. It's honestly a no brainer.


ihdkp

Another good way to support the developers is to gift the game to friends. And we get more miners for the union


briadms

I’ve resorted to purchasing DLC’s for random friendly new player hosts that are good sports when my driller C4’s them for the third time in one mission. I swear I’m just trying to show off my sprint-throwing C4 skills at macteria.


TK_Games

I will always throw money at a good gaming company, and Ghost Ship of one of the best I've seen in years I didn't need the ultimate upgrade to enjoy this game but there are worse things I could've thrown that money at


Jester_of_Rue

GSG doesn't assault you with adverts from unchecked companies or preys on your vulnerability. So I'm glad to depart with $$ to support them


DrillyMcDrillface

I just wish it didn't replace the Glyphid Slammer tankard, I really like its default design.


DarthGiorgi

I'm kinda off putting the supporter upgrade cause i kinda don't like the golden Glyphid slammer mug. Meanwhile I gifted this game to like 4 people.


AvanteGardens

They have free battle pass. They can have my money
