Just looked it up, but it's quite expensive compared to the <£12 I usually spend on steam games (eg Terraria, Stardew Valley, Portal)

The game has been free for 16 years. This is the paid version to support the devs, literally because they're getting old and they have medical bills to pay.

DF is also free and there's fan made installers to run it on Linux, the Steam version just has an enhanced UI and other features.

While I typically love a good sale, some labors of love like this or factorio involve so much quality they warrant paying to support these wonderful developers

My personal benchmark is $1/hr; so my question is, will I get 38 ($CAD) hours of enjoyment out of it eventually? I think I almost certainly will, this kind of game is pretty on brand for me.

Fair enough, everyone has their own preferences.
