factorio's "never go on sale" philosophy will never outlast my "never pay full price" philosophy.
they could easily make $30 from me, but they choose $0 instead. no sweat off my sack
I'm willing to support a game that literally set the bar for quality of software development. Their dev logs alone were worth the price.
Unfortunately they really don't deserve your support. This in addition to Kovarik equating the nazi genocide of the czechs to cancel culture. And the transphobia he's dabled with.
Sorry :(
why are you getting downvotes? i didn't even have any idea about any of that. now i won't buy the game for $0.01--fuck that shit. i guess i'll never understand the mindless blind devotion fanbois have for the objects of their affection, regardless of how shitty those people are
They are just trying to save you from a crippling optimization addiction
They make $++ from the "really into it" crowd, so they're ok making $0 from you and the "mildly interested" crowd. No sweat off their sack.
