Proud nerd to be counted among that number. Go get your new achieves, people!
I'm hooked all over again, can't wait to get to new content
Promised myself to buy it when it finally goes on sale that is lower than the initial 20€ price
Factorio has never gone on sale and I don't think the DLC will either
I'll continue not giving them money, then.
It is a game well worth the price. It is never going on sale, and neither is the DLC. Ever. The developers had a big post about setting the price to an amount they consider to be worth it for them. It is half the price of an "AAA" game with 6 hours of campaign.
I have heard their strategy, it's not some new thing to me. I fully understand it's their choice. However for me it's a matter of principle.
It is half the price of an “AAA” game with 6 hours of campaign.
No, it's about 1.5-2x times more expensive than the same AAA game after 4 years and a summer sale.
The sale thing is true, however the price per hour is still a good deal. If you are on the edge, try the free demo. The devs are one of the best and most active devs I've ever witnessed for a game, and they 100% deserve the money.
