DeestanThe Story of Factorio, the Game that Only Increases in Price
SentinianThis game gets universal praise and I'd love to play it but as a PC gamer I refuse to as I wouldn't want to support a dev who not only never does sales but raises the price because of "inflation"
Why did you put inflation in quotes like it isn't real?

At $35 right now the game is reasonably priced for the amount of value you will get out of it. I believe there is an expansion on the way as well...
The quotations was due to the fact that no other digital only game increases it price after release because of inflation. I get the devs are updating the game still, but the price of the base game shouldn't go up with time. But that's just my opinion.
ampersandrewOff the top of my head, Rain World did it too.
Is it that different than adding expansions? The only difference is they aren't charging current owners for all the new content.
My later replies clear up my thoughts better but I will say, expansions are not the same as you don't need to buy the expansion to play the game. I've seen games give expansion for free to existing then paid for anyone new but the base game is still purchase that you can buy by itself.
There is not really much in terms of new content. Just minor bugfixes, some optimization and modding improvements. The announced expansion will also be payed content.
