    It wasn’t .99 but it was 2.50 at one point, and that was Terraria. Poured over a thousand hours into it. The consistent free mega updates they push out breathe life into it and I’ve been floored how much they’ve supported the game well over a decade since it’s launch. The team there could have just walked away after the 1.1 launch which helped fix some bugs and introduced some new things and called it a wrap. I’m very glad they didn’t

      This. Plus the modding community is quite active, I feel like you could throw a few good ones on, play through them, and find updated and new ones half a year later. Easily one of the most timeless games in my library.

      Another Terraria vet who got it for $5 (and several more licenses to give to friends.) While I didn’t build hoiktronics computers with it, I got very involved with the logic gates.

      Same, I got it for 2.50 in 2012 and I’ve played around 500 hours. It’s surprising the amount of content they’ve added to the game over the years.

      I still remember the surprise I got when I found out there was a boss battle at the underworld, and beating it unlocked even more and better stuff. At that point I think the last bosses you could fight were the mechanical bosses and the best armor was the Hallowed set.
