Their current full price is slightly over $30, but Rimworld, Stellaris, and Satisfactory are in this bucket for me too.

    Stellaris full price is like $300 for the whole game , sure I literally got the base game for free, but even buying expansions on sale, I wouldn't be surprised if I've spent over $100 on Stellaris, and I don't have all the expansions as I only buy them on sale.

    That's a good point. I typically wait for massive sales before buying games and DLCs, but I've still probably spent more than I care to admit on Stellaris. The enjoyment per dollar ratio is definitely still way up there for me though.

    Oh, definitely. I still chuckle occasionally when I'm reminded by my Dungeon Defender friends that they cannot fathom playing a single game that takes weeks to finish. Meanwhile I'm laughing in EvE Online veteran. Titan Construction V took 8 months to train.
