It's the multiplayer bro. IMO the devs think that once multiplayer works right enough to be on par with other steam games that make use of the steam friends/server systems, (client/server browser, laghiding, multiplayer objectives etc) then they can make some real bank and establish "street credit" for their new company among the developer community. Imagine if the first time you played factorio, it was with a completed and fully integrated multiplayer. The devs are picturing a future where most of factorio's players experienced the game for the first time with a completed multiplayer.Pohybel wrote:I do not understand why so long you delay with the premiere on Steam, the game is well written and personally I do not have any problem.
These developers should be a role model for all the other devs out there (even the triple-A devs). I never made a game before, but I know I'll never give people an incomplete burger for payment ordering a full burger (or a good burger). These guys are so patient. You can tell they're not after your money; they're after your satisfaction and smiles—something most developers these days don't do. This reminds me of the first days of Minecraft, but hopefully, Factorio will go way farther from the line Minecraft had set. They deserve everything coming their way once they release on Steam. I predict a storm is coming...therapist wrote: It's the multiplayer bro.

Well, we are after your money, obviously, but we want to make a mutually good tradeAnTracius wrote:These developers should be a role model for all the other devs out there (even the triple-A devs).

The best trade is the one where both parts benefit.kovarex wrote:Well, we are after your money, obviously, but we want to make a mutually good tradeAnTracius wrote:These developers should be a role model for all the other devs out there (even the triple-A devs).

But of course! You guys need sustenance, haha! I can tell this is gonna be one heck of an adventure—an adventure to Factorio 1.0 and beyond. Steam is a great milestone; a big one. Can't wait to see how much the community will change after Steam. I just can't express how much I love your game. Keep up the good work, you guys! We'll be rooting for you!kovarex wrote:Well, we are after your money, obviously, but we want to make a mutually good trade

Congrats on the steam date, I'm sure it will be well received! Maybe I'll even try multiplayerAdam Smith wrote:It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.
