It's worth it without a sale too. Mostly, because if you allow it to, it will make sure you will never need to buy another game again.
You can, of course, take cheap games over an exceptionally good game. That's your choice. Just don't expect a lot of people agreeing with that choice.
Thank you for beeing the voice of reason. Factorio have just improved and improved over the years. A game that have been neglected for a decade needs sales ofcourse. Factorio is not that.
I do not know how, but factorio is better value for money then all the gratis games i have on steam.
Absolutely. I first got Factorio in the high seas and played it quite a while like that. Eventually I realized it was definitely worth the money and bought it. It's great value for the money and it's not expensive at all.
"Time is money" applies to games too. A game that's wasting your time is still not good value, even if it's free.
It seems to me that, if you're not willing to read their reasoning for it, not willing to pirate it, not willing to play the free demo, then you're not actually interested in playing Factorio. You're just here to start shit.
Please don't ascribe emotions to me, as I don't ascribe emotions to you. I do not foam at the mouth over anything EA says because I don't listen to or care about what EA says; I don't play EA games.
Just as a bit of a sanity check for both of us, can you tell me what Wube's reasoning is?
