Can i send Wube some money?

Post by Whitland »

Hi!

Just read the news that factorio supports wayland on linux, and i wanna send them some money for this.

Is there a donation link or something?

Hi, not really, but if you think that Wube deserves more than the price you paid for the game for that, feel free to make a gift to someone close who might like Factorio but hasn't tried it yet.

Anyway.

You can buy the game as many times as you want through their site.

A great way is also to buy merch, although it's mostly shirts, at least it's an alternative to buying things to wear at home and you can support the game at the same time.

Probably the best thing you can do is promote Factorio. Tell people about the game.

You can get a steam key for free for yourself if you bought the game through the website.

And then you can also buy more copies from Factorio.com (Wube gets more money this way, otherwise steam takes their cut) to give to friends!

(Also, GOG.com version exists. And a version for Nintendo Switch became available recently)

Omg if you're still down, I would absolutely love a copy of this game. I'm not doing so great financially lately and cannot afford to buy myself a copy sadly. I would be so incredibly and immensely grateful!
Would be super down to play multiplayer with anyone who wouldn't mind having me join as well!

p.s. It's hard for me to ask for any kind of handout, and it's definitely not something you'd normally ever catch me doing, but times have been tough for me lately and having a chance to escape the stress of life for a while in a great game like this one sounds like exactly the kind of thing I need right now. I really hope this post doesn't come across as begging, but if you genuinely are just buying extra copies of the game, I would be utterly thrilled to receive a copy.

My steam friend code is 12371906 and my discord is doomulus67

Thank you very much & Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
