Many such cases.

>>719124745 (OP)
Bruh it was like $10. You had your chance it's fucking over let it go.

>>719124745 (OP)
they're optimizing profits :)

>>719125109

Sales help profits actually, it's why jews do it. Kovarex is just autistic.

>>719124745 (OP)
It should be more expensive

>>719125168
a very niche autism game having 100k reviews implies they don't need sales and would devalue the IP's strength

Not for products that are actually good

>>719125272
the price should always be the dollar price times the exchange rate

If you didn't get it back in early access when it was half price no one cares about your thoughts on the game or its price.

>>719124745 (OP)
I honestly don't give a shit about the no sales thing, I bought the game ages ago. What pisses me off is how the fanbase of autists get really, really fucking mad at you if you don't like it.
>UM ACKSHUALLY ITS A PERFECTLY MADE MASTERPIECE AND THE DEVS DESERVE MONEY PLUS IT ALWAYS WORKS PLUS NINTENDO PLUS BALAH BLAH BLAH I WILL BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN

>>719125168
Yeah he really is. Just an overall unlikable prick.

There's far better automation games out there that go on sale on the regular.

>>719125272
>I'll never alter the price of the game!!
He never said this. He said he'd never decrease it.

>>719125457
Kek no one's buying it dumb nigger, you missed the boat. Just pirate it you stupid bitch

>>719125369
I disagree, if I sold a game I would set the price to be insultingly high in regions I don't like

>how to never have an international audience

>>719125457
so true factorio fans tried to burn down my home when i refused to buy space age

>>719125523
No there are not.
>>719125732
Fuck the international audience.

>>719125457
Factorio probably actually is the game that most successfully achieves it's vision out of any game ever made. That's not saying it's the best game, but it is exactly what it's supposed to be in a way that most other games could never reach.

>>719124745 (OP)
the thing is we like optimizing things that are interesting and enjoyable to optimize, and "time to buy a thing" is fucking boring, especially when you've missed a sale and are going to end up paying extra

>>719125493
>Just an overall unlikable prick.
good thing I couldn't give a single FUCK because he made a great game.

Poorfags stay OUT.
Idiots who cannot into piracy stay OUT.

>>719124745 (OP)
I would have liked the dev if he said that he just liked money rather than the bullshit response about never doing discounts.

>>719126479
he's right about the penny and he's right about being anti-fomo
stop being poor

>anons that come to factorio threads year after year to seethe about lack of discounts
Odd to think you can be too autistic for factorio.

What's the issue?

>>719127280
The devs are just as autistic as the player base.

anything else?

>>719127280
adjusting the price for inflation is not "raising the price", but you're too dumb to understand that
just pirate it

I got 400 hours out of this game so it was $70 well spent.

>>719124745 (OP)
It's been $30 for so long that inflation has basically given you a discount.

>>719127862
>raising the price is not raising the price, goyim

>>719125272
Are thirdies seriously seething over not being able to pay $7?

Ah yes, some mindbroken golem having a tantrum because he doesn't get offered some predatory FOMO sale. Classic.

>no sales
>I must seethe

>>719124745 (OP)
the target audience would only buy the game on sale, then
to relieve them of the stress, they simply never put the game on sale

>>719124745 (OP)
I don't mind the discount as much as the fact that the expansion felt unfinished. A lot of stuff didn't make it into it that they literally teased early on. It's not something I can give them a pass for when they had all that time and a rushed lan party before it released that showcased how out of touch the balancing team handled everything.
Width affecting platform speed for example. That's absolutely retarded and very restrictive for no good reason.
Factorio works best when it lets you solve problems the way you want. Making you have Nauvis as your Biolab science location is extremely lazy. I was very disappointed in the expansion after finishing it.

>>719125272
>*puts large chunk of development of space gameplay (which was originally promised as being part of the main game) behind paid DLC*
I've had Factorio since 2018 and I don't remember Space Age being free. They were debating various ideas for furthering it with one of them being a straight-up sequel but went with an expansion pack. I know Space Age went through a lot of development issues because originally it was TOO autistic.

If you're not autistic enough to either be willing to buy it at full price of know how to pirate it then it's not for you, simple as.

>>719129198
They settled for a very restrictive experience instead. Locking certain things behind certain planets is just so lazy I can't justify it. I get why they would want to try and lock buildings unlocked in planets inside of that planet itself to encourage launching rockets from that planet, but it's such an odd restriction.
And if we can only place Biolabs in Nauvis they chose to restrict Foundries to Vulcanus and Big Miners, too so you have to ship them over.
I get what they were going for, but they went about it in a very un-fun way.
There will be people who defend this shit and they can go ahead but arbitrary restrictions are not innovative. Factorio is most fun when you have the options to fuck around however you want. Moving towards 'optimization' meta is just gay.
Let people do what they fucking want, like damn.

>>719124745 (OP)
It's free man

Gameplay good but an entire ass thread of retards arguing about money and prices is pretty telling.
Price should have stayed the same. The hell with inflation

>>719124745 (OP)
Discount for a free game?

>>719127573
kek keep seething nigger, I can't buy this game 100 times if I want to, it's called not being a subhuman and holding a real job

>>719127280
How can a Dev be so based?

>>719124745 (OP)
people who are into Factorio are propably autistic enough to have a job where you pretend to work and live with parents, same with Paradox games

40 bucks is the least of your worries with Factorio.
If you've never played it you're sure to get hundreds of hours. That's a lot of bang for your buck.

>>719128530
>the value of dollars issued by the (((federal reserve))) is the only measure of value
>btw i'm extremely redpilled
now plot the price of factorio in oz gold

>>719129978
You are arguing with a bot.

>>719126764
Nah, he's a fucking retard. Lots of people might want to play his game, but not at the price point because they don't enjoy the genre that much. Further, his, "Sales punish those who didn't wait for a sale," and "We don't do FOMO," can just as easily be flipped around to, "You took advantage of people who have low impulse control and charged them a higher price knowing they would not have the discipline and control to wait and instead fall prey to FOMO."

>>719129882
not for me. its an okay game that i wouldnt suggest to every single person. like i have 500+ more hours on autism sims like zomboid and rimworld, but factorio just never scratched that itch for me.

>>719126479
>liked the money
The whole point of sales is trying to milk a product for all it's worth by selling extra copies to people who wouldn't buy at full price, plus a dose of fomo for good measure.
A "no sales" policy is greed it's stubborn autism even at the cost of potential income. Do you fucks seriously think all those big companies put the game on sale out of the goodness of their heart and not because it will make more money or something?

>>719129118
the target audience bought in for $20.00 when we had the chance, lol

>>719126479
The penny thing is objectively hilarious. I never thought I'd judge companies for pricing shit at $(x-1).99 over a flat $x.00, but now I actively look down on the shysters who do that shit.

>>719130859
The practice is so widespread that I wouldn't call it deceptive so much as a practicality to avoid getting filtered by searches for products less than $x.

I have the base game on steam. Can I pirate just the expansion?

I'll buy it again for a friend just to piss you off

Paradox games are for retarded normalfags that want to feel smart, like 60IQ halo kid tier normalfags, so I guess that makes sense.
