Factorio also interestingly, never goes on sale, Wube said that the value of the game is what it is and that's that.

This only works because it's like $30. If this was a $60-70 game, I don't think it goes over well with the public. Nintendo is the only one that seems to get away with that

I think that's exactly the point though. "We didn't mark it up to mark it down, the price is just the price". As a chronic patient gamer part of me hates that (I love finding older classics for like $10) but I don't mind shelling out for a good game. The biggest expense is my time, and if a bunch of years later the price hasn't moved it's probably worth my time.

$35, actually.
