Utterly Mad

Think the big issue I have is that neither stand up to DF, which is free and all. At $30 you'll get $1 per hour of fun, which is how I usually measure shit, but there's alot of other stuff that will beat the ratio here in my mind.

I guess that's the same problem I have with them. In the end, they just can't stand up to the juggernaut that is dwarf fortress. They are pale imitations in the end. Sure they are easier to learn, but once you do learn them the game play is over. They have nothing left to give and you paid 30$ for them. Honestly, I regret buying prison architect every time I see it in my games library.
The fact that rimworlds dev seems aware that his game might be a bit meh at the moment and wants to remedy that is hopeful for that game at least.

At least they aren't no man's sky.

On a note related to overpriced games, does anybody else here keep a list of overpriced games? My list is
Prison architect
Rimworld
Age of Empires 2 and 3*
Clockwork empires (it's ok though)
Oblivion and fallout 3**
Junk Jack (barely. It's good though)
The escapists (holy fuck it's overpriced for what you get)

*No idea why microsoft feels AoE3 is worth only 10$ less than the price they launched it at more than ten years ago. Seriously, 40$ for an 11 year old game? Fuck that. Get it on sale, that way you're at least paying what it's worth.
**A similar thing goes for Bethesda with oblivon/fallout 3. At least the prices of 20$ is at least somewhat reasonable considering you get the DLC included with that price
