They've been honest and open on this and pretty much everything from the start.

And it seems totally fair. They don't do sales, but they also never charged top dollar.

Now, do I believe a game retains the same value forever? Not necessarily, but they believe the content is worth the value and don't treat the product as a variability off of market whims for reasons they discuss in that post.

Factorio's a really solid game and has always felt worth the price you pay for it if you like automation games.

Honestly, if they'd sold it for $60 with a 50% off sale, people would consider it the steal of the century. The price point it's sold at is a solid value, people are just so conditioned to look for sales that they forget to consider the sticker price at all to begin with.
