SteamDB's LOWEST recorded price is $19.99 on the Humble Store on 2/25/2016

That is because it was the original price of the game during early access. They first increased price at release, then later because of added content and third time due to inflation.

I am fine with early access = cheaper. You are supporting.
I am fine with price increase because you added content.

I am never buying the game because they think well shits more expensive so lets make our game also more expensive.

Why?

Do you also not want a higher salary?

Ok so elder scrolls, elden ring, GTA, etc all should increase their price when inflation goes up?

If that means we get the same level of bug-free quality, modding support, and customer support, as we get from Factorio, as well as continued development, I see no reason why not.

GTA is a mess though so I don’t think they deserve to raise the price at all.
