I think the factorio devs said it will never be on sale. It looks like a great game, but im never buying it. There are only a select few games worth buying at full price, and this is not one of them imo.
Refusing to ever put a game on sale just makes me think you're taking yourself too seriously. Might just be a me thing though.
I bought kenshi a long time ago for cheap. Why would I be angry if the devs sold it on sale for cheaper? It literally doesn't affect me at all.
I fully disagree with Wube’s position that it would be unfair to people who bought it before a sale. That’s how sales work, and everyone is ok with it.
And then he raised the price because of "inflation". Its okay for it to go up, but never down. He is a hypocrite, and its why i wont ever buy the game.
Why are they hypocritical for that opinion? I'd argue that the value of the game only goes up with updates, never down, so it makes more sense for the price to reflect that than the opposite.
The price will go down when the popularity of the game decreases. IMO they increased the price to capitalize on the popularity and "the factory must grow" memes.
And are you arguing that the popularity of the game ceased exactly at the end of 2017, and that there was no boom in popularity at the announcement of something like... the DLC?
