I must say I was a very avid gamer 5-10 years ago. I enjoyed the likes of World of Warcraft, Starcraft (1 and 2), Battlefield (all of them), and many more. Nowadays, I find it very hard to get myself to sit down and play for more than a couple hours at a time. This all changed with Rimworld, holy cow. Rimworld was a dwarf fortress I could pick up without the ridiculous learning curve. It's a game I can sit and enjoy in my free time without feeling "the grind". The base building genre is one that has barely been touched over the years, with Dwarf Fortress being the "founding father". I must say a truly unique game. The lead developer is always active on reddit and takes direct feedback from his player base. This a game I can easily see my self playing for the next decade.

Me too. The best thing about it is: even if for whatever reason (Tynan seems like a dev from a different planet) the game would go in the wrong direction, we still have all the previous versions. For all major platforms. This is value you get for your money!
