Factorio did it right, IMO. V2.0 as a free update to the base game, launch a paid expansion at the same time.

Wube is pretty much the only developer I have faith in to consistently do things right.

Rimworld keeps me buying every couple years with absolutely killer DLC that enhances the game just right. And yeah you can get most of those features for free with mods, but first party support is always welcome.

RimWorld also releases a huge list of polish and quality of life changes for free with each expansion. The latest patch that released alongside the Odyssey expansion obviated the need for about half of the QoL mods I considered mandatory before then.

And let’s not exclude the MASSIVE performance boost in the latest update. They’re doing great over there.

The patch was worth it for the load time reduction alone.

A lot of indie devs are good about that. Squad, KSP's original devs, even mandated to their buyer that all DLCs existing and future had to be free for backers since they'd listed that as a promise on their original Kickstarter.
