I really wish more indies could take on the no-sales policy. It'd give me tons more peace of mind to buy a game when I actually want to play it, rather than always waiting and doing weird backlog hoarding when Valve decide it's wallet-opening-time.

But as the video shows, the policy was a risk for Wube even back in the day -- it's an even bigger risk now that everyone and their dog expects to wait for the sale, and especially if you happen to have a game that's not quite as incredibly popular as Factorio.
