Is Factorio going to be on sale next Steam sale?
No, we don't plan to participate in any sales any time soon.

We state it on our steam page, but people are still asking about it so I want to state it officially. We don't plan any Factorio sale. I'm aware, that the sale can make a lot of money in a short period of time, but I believe that it is not worth it in the long run, and since we are not in financial pressure we can afford to think in the long run. We don't like sales for the same reason we don't like the 9.99 prices. We want to be honest with our customers. When it costs 20, we don't want to make it feel like 10 and something. The same is with the sale, as you are basically saying, that someone who doesn't want to waste his time by searching for sales or special offers has to pay more.

Purpose of this thread is for people who are interestend in the game but feel asking price is too high, to voice their interest and explain why they think the game is too expensive. This is not place to convince people to buy the game regardless of its price nor question whether opinions about the game being expensive are valid or not.
