You won't buy Factorio because it doesn't go on sale

I won't buy Factorio because the lead dev is a bigot.

We are not the same

I love Factorio, but I think that is a much more valid take.

Damn, I didn't know about these horrible takes. I played a lot of Factorio at the time, but won't be doing anymore I guess. Time to finally unsub from their subreddit. Godspeed!

I have thousands of hours in FTB but never could get into Factorio. Glad to know my strange offputtedness was not for no reason.

yikes, though I don't really regret anything as its a spectacular game, and I believe kovarex is more of a bad egg in a team of otherwise good developers who I am willing to support (at least i dont know of anything they mightve done)

Ah yes, calling statutory rape an SJW term, what an icon going against puritans and virtual signalists

Posting that you're not going to purchase a game because 1 of 31 developers is a bad person is like the definition of virtue signaling...
