Best method for buying Factorio?

Post by Calus »

Hey guys,

I'm interested in purchasing Factorio. I was wondering if there is a prefered option? Directly from the Factorio website? Steam? GoG?

Which method will give the wonderful developers more cash? :D

Factorio.com is the best spot to be sure of your deal. In a previous news, devs said there were quite some fake website and stolen money. Deal directly with them, on their website. Steam is very good as well of course.

Steam does take 30%, I bought it from factorio.com for that reason then grabbed my steam key and still use the stand alone version for different sets of mods
