Love game so much you buy mutiple? Why not give it to the people who are crying that no "on sale"?

On Factorio(platform: Steam)'s disscusion I saw once again that people are not ok that no sale... and I recalled that some people said they love this game so much they brought mutiple copies just to support the devs.... well... you get the ideea. If you are one of thoes people who has no issues buying AND giving it to others for free, then check out the Steam's discuttion section. Who knows, maybe you'll add a new fan. Honestly, I don't really like the ideea of people who don't buy this game getting to try it. But who knows, maybe some of them, will realise why we all love this game, and will in return also offer for free (aka they buy it and gift it) to others. I mean, Factorio is such a good game, that I still don't get why it is never mentioned in any gaming meta of how a real game should look like

I find the no sale thing to be a bad argument. I don't have a problem with your fundamental idea but rewarding people for complaining about Wube being honest with the price feels wrong. As Kovarex put it back in FFF140:

We state it on our steam page, but people are still asking about it so I want to state it officially. We don't plan any Factorio sale. I'm aware, that the sale can make a lot of money in a short period of time, but I believe that it is not worth it in the long run, and since we are not in financial pressure we can afford to think in the long run. We don't like sales for the same reason we don't like the 9.99 prices. We want to be honest with our customers. When it costs 20, we don't want to make it feel like 10 and something. The same is with the sale, as you are basically saying, that someone who doesn't want to waste his time by searching for sales or special offers has to pay more.
