What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $1.79. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 65 in the 6 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Tank Mechanic Simulator ($19.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Thief Simulator ($19.99, scores 67).
Critics scored it 59. Players sit 27 points higher at 86 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 10 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 1,712 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Great Game and it has aged well. Chose to comeback to the game after a couple years just to try and get all of the achievements and so far its been great and has taken so much time off my hands but in a good way lol. If your thinking about hopping back on or buying the game you should just go for it! its a great experience
The granddad of "drugs" simulators ! The graphics are ok but this game's atmosphere is just great., raw, dirty, dark... There's no handholding in this game, you get some basic info, but then it lets you go.
Probably the best DDS game out of the series so far. I would definitely recommend playing this game.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Drug Dealer Simulator scores 71/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/682990/drug-dealer-simulatorThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 14, price as of Sep 24.
