Clearly OP stated not being interested by the game content, although not in the first post again.

He stated (in different words) that he has less interest in the game than the price tag that deters him, "less" is not the same as "0".


OP also claims it's not about making the game cheaper but ...

you did :


This is incorrect, CrookedVulture actually tries to claim the opposite, that asking for sale is not asking for cheaper price, instead it is pretending that the disapointment from the price tag comes from the idea that Wube is missing on the opportunity to extend its player base ...

what's the point of sales if not making the game cheaper ?


It was addressed already !


Appreciate it. I apologise for interpreting your later post as looking for an argument. Edited: Guess they were, I take it back.

I’ll point out I’ve not stated sale != cheaper games. I've stated taking ...

Yours certainly didn’t so your point is?


I was trying to get to the bottom of your argument

what's the point of sales if not making the game cheaper ?

Again, your assertion is that having a problem with no sales == wanting a cheaper game. I’ve stated it is not and the reasoning for it ...

It is not my responsibility to reiterate what’s already been covered and explained in the thread. If people don’t understand how being disappointed with a games price point in conjunction with no sale (and the justification for no sales) != asking for a lower game price, then that’s a them ...

A whole lot of non-sensical arguments there, what's the point of sales if not making the game cheaper ?

How can you at the same time complain about the lack of sales while claiming you are not asking for a cheaper game ?


It is not my responsibility to reiterate what’s already been covered and ...

Appreciate the input but both of those have been covered in the thread already.

I understand you don't feel like your words are meaning the same thing for you that write them and for random people that may read them like me, i was myself trying to help adress the gap because in your first post your clearly stated that you expected people to disagree and you seemed to be only ...

This is my understanding of your many words, like a TL DR imo. You haven't played the game and thus i consider you are not equipped to tell if the price is worth or not.

Then it is an inaccurate summary of what you clearly did not read properly.
As you say on a forum people can share opinions ...

That's a neat scenario you invented however, it is unrelated to mine.

It seem to me exactly what's happening. You didn't bought the game because you said it was too expensive for you and been asking, several time for the game to be cheaper.

Then ...

I mentioned in a Factorio group I’m in, my surprise at the price when it was first announced. Only for one of them to gleefully and emphatically announce “and it never goes on sale too”. That and so many of the reviews being sure to point how much value you and get and how fair the price is ...

Thanks to a majority of these replies. I’ve decided to wait for SA to go on sale and if it doesn’t I just won’t buy it. From the reviews I’ve seen a fair few of the mechanics I won’t like (or it won’t be worth it to me). I was also between jobs when this was posted. Frankly, a lot of the replies ...

Sorry, but people complaining about the price, and using the cost to justify it, but not actually stating the cost in a meaningful way has become a pet peeve of mine...



Understandable and I’m quite aware. I didn’t mention it was $AU because I’ve already complained elsewhere and didn’t want it ...

It annoyed me at start, but this is quite honest and good policy.
I would say, Wube should decrease the price, once they stop actively improving the game, but for now it makes sense.

Thank you, you’re the first person I’ve spoken to (and seen) to actually acknowledge and be empathetic about it ...

This is very expensive for a game. It’s worth pointing out for my country, we’re used to getting shafted when it comes to game prices.

That aside I know posting this is probably going to get a lot of “worth it to me” and “I have 1 gorillion hours” etc. That’s fine, I enjoyed the base game and am ...
