Gamers are such entitled brats. If we go by what the average NES game cost in the 80s, Factorio should be at least $120, probably a lot more due to having significantly more content and replay value.

And I didn't even like Factorio. I'm just sick gamer-brand bullshit.

Some people will always spite you. It's not open source either (hey, CDPR games might be, soon!).

To be fair here, their reasoning is that Factorio is worth the 25€ and that they don't want people to feel cheated because they missed out on a lower price. I don't think that's bad in any way.

No I don't think so. Thank back to the HL2 source code leak months before release of the game. The game still isn't open source even after all this time.

But yes I wholeheartedly agree with your Factorio point. I've bought 2 copies of the game so far because I enjoy it, and I don't feel cheated even though I paid full price.

Steam's reputation for sales has ruined me. It is now extremely rare for me to buy a game at full price. Even a $20 game, I'll wait for a sale, as if I'd even notice the $5 I saved.

That said, once I had discovered that the Factorio devs said it would never go on sale, I decided to pick it up and was glad I did.

I'm looking forward to picking up Cyberpunk whenever it goes on sale. By then, maybe it will be a much smoother and more enjoyable experience.
