Why Factorio: Space Age costs same price as base game?

Atleast Factorio has demo so you can try the game out and throw it away if you don't like it. But Space DLC being same price as base game confusing to me. Even for indie game

nta but satisfactory is fine but it's tedious coming from any of the top-down factory games.
you have to individually hook up every building to power and belts, the blueprint system is not even half-baked, more like quater-baked.
and the 3d means you can solve basically any logistical problem by spaghetti-ing belts through each other.
it's like checkers to chess.

then dont buy it

If I had one wish, I would wish people realized that their power as a consumer comes not from bitching about things or discussing things, but simply choosing to give or not give someone their money.
For the last 14 years its been endless discussions of "oh wow I cant believe EA is charging me $50 for this dark vader character, omg how is blizzard charging me $500 for this barbarian armor, owie zowie I cant believe that I need to give nintendo $90 for a graphics patch for zelda on switch 2 how can this be happening?!?!". It happens because you give them money.

It's a decent DLC but unfortunately making four new planets that each have one new science pack made them feel like a checklist instead of a place you actually want to spend a lot of time on after you automate it.
Maybe the DLC should have been one new planet that has as much to do as Nauvis does.

This has nothing to do with inflation. Dev charges what he wants to charge, which is fine.
He already made the game, so aside from a few patches there are no costs flowing into the product that would justify passing them on to the consumer.

The problem with SA isn't that it's 40 bucks.
It's that they didn't finish the fucking thing.
The rocket launching sucks. Gleba fucking sucks.
Aquillo fucking sucks. No refrigeration tech to keep shit fresh in your platforms between travel across planets. Aquillo's enemy was scrapped. The coolest looking enemy, too.

Fuck Wube. Bunch of assholes. A lot of people complained about the lack of a proper logistics network for launching rockets. There's STILL no circuit tutorial of value. They never bothered to help new players with learning the ropes. That's what's really gay about Factorio.

Really now? Then why does every other old game cost less?
You're just wrong, anon. If flour becomes more expensive, bread will become more expensive. The bakery will pass this cost to the consumer.
A software written ten years ago does not become more expensive because eggs cost more today.
The dev is pricing his product higher for the same reason Apple is pricing their products higher: because they can. Inflation has nothing to do with this.
