There is no pricing fiasco. It was respecting their customers. If "pricing fiasco" is how you describe respecting your customers, than yes, you are being unreasonable.

For those unaware, It's always the best time to buy Factorio. You dont' have to worry about buying it and then it going on sale. You can buy it, and know what you are buying and that you are getting the best deal.

It's a wonderful game and 100% worth the price. If you don't like those types of games, no reason to buy it. That's fine. No reason to pretend that there is some fiasco. No customer feels that way.

One possible valid criticism is they charge the same price (in USD) everywhere in the world. Many (but certainly not all) games are effectively discounted in poorer countries when converted to the local currency.

They do charge regional pricing. They don’t on their website where it’s always the same price. But they do regional pricing on Steam.
