I’ve owned Rust for years. Tried playing it for the first time ever a couple weeks ago, and you can only play on servers, meaning it has to be played multiplayer; there’s no option to start a single player server or whatever on your own machine. In order to truly play how you want, you need to buy a server from a third-party website. Part of me thinks that the game has a certain charm with forcing you to play with other randoms, but the rest of me was absolutely turned off by that. I just wanted to play my own save to see how the game is. Nope.

Also, the sheer amount of DLCs for the game that apparently don’t necessarily need to be bought if you happen to kill someone that has the stuff.
