![]() ![]() Some games of the genre just stop being fun and lack depth after 50 hours into them. Nevertheless, if I discovered factorio with dlc priced at 70, or 60 euros, I doubt that I would have bought it, even at the current level of polish.Īfter all, you never kow, how much you will like the game. There are a couple of studios famous for their really expensive, trillion dlc games, and they are still alive. X2 curious, how the sales for new people discovering factorio will look. Really curious, how the expansion will sell at that pricepoint and what it will contain. Because the real value does not diverge from the price so often like other games.Ĭomplete radio silence on the expansion, and the base now costing 35 makes me assume, that the expansion will be 35 euros as well. It would be even a good moment, before the expansion.īut, the no sales strategy is also good, because it's known to be not on sale, so people, who really want, buy it and actually value it more. If Wube wanted to make quick money, they would go on sale with this game. So, the problem lies in the sales strategy of other games and not in Wube's. Infact, it only gets better and more.Įven most AAA titles are more worth, than their sales price, but it's the companies, who want to squeeze out more, because software can be duplicated without additional cost. ![]() Only because AAA titles loose their value due to sales, doesn't mean, that factorio looses value. There are many other good games and Factorio is not even unique in its genre now and even then, people are probably not shopping for an automation game specifically and will probably happily go somewhere else. I had trouble convincing friends to even try the demo because the price is already steep that they don't even feel like tempting themselves to such a purchase but now it's going to be even worse. I liked the no-sale policy as it felt the game was well priced all year round instead of sometimes but now that the price is almost double the one I bought the game at, it feels like it's never well priced anymore and feels like people are getting punished for not knowing the game earlier, just like missing a sale, but worse because they can't wait for the next one. I don't think that's a good idea, we are on this forum because we love Factorio and we already own the game so probably not many people are going to discourage you to do that but I will say, I bought the game when I was a student for 20 bucks, because it was 20 bucks, now it's 30 going to be 35, I would not have bought the game for 35, you blame inflation but the inflation isn't that, and let's not blame everything on inflation, the problem with the economy is that the salary is not inflating as much as the cost of living and people have less money to spend on leisure, not more, and I think the price hike will make new players run away.Īlso comparing full price is not fair as Factorio is old and never on sale, you can buy a half done AAA for more than Factorio if you want to, but we all know that's a bad idea, Factorio is no exception, well, the exception is that you have to buy it at full price. ![]()
