Actually it was correct to begin with. It's a title of a post, much like the title of a book, movie, or song. All letters in the title should be capitalized. (and, the , with, a, etc being the exceptions)

You just became that guy yourself. There is a spelling mistake in the word available in the title of the post.(But not in the URL)
He's just giving them a heads up, nothing bad about that.

Also capitalization of titles depends on what writing style standard you use. Considering it's a news post on a website made by non-native English speakers and not a scientific journal, I think I can live with a less formal style standard.

And now to the important thing: Great! I've been recommending Factorio to my friends ever since I got it. Now it's finally becoming more accessible to some of them who refuse to buy anything that's not steam supported.

Thanks guys! Amazing game!

Got it, now to find out how to download the fucker through steam.

You gotta wait until thursday

Ok so, I've got a bit of a problem... The thing is, that i didn't get the "Mining Drill Operator", and I am now wondering if it will apply properly if i get it now, if my name WILL be in the game.
I'm because of this a little afraid to get my Steam Key if it won't apply properly....
Can anyone help?

It will work properly if you upgrade, the steam key will remain the same regardless of your account type

Yeah, after a while I thought about that:)

Yay! Thanks so much for the steam keys devs! Other game companies would charge you again for the same game!

Got a key, thanks! Long time player but registered to let you know I'll have a positive review ready to post on Thursday.

Oh maybe should have clarified this earlier - Steam reviews can only be written after you have launched the game at least once via Steam. This kind of rules out prerelease reviews somewhat...

Thank you devs for the Steam keys! Will we be able to find and connect to servers from within Steam?

Why isn't there a pre-purchase option on steam?

I never thought it would come to that, but this happens now if you actually click the button on the screenshot


Although I have to say that the integration of that screenshot into the page looks so seamless it could be an actual button ... nice work devs

First thought i had when i saw the picture of the button was "great now where is that button located?". Making it explicit where it's, removes the time i need to find it.

Good Luck Guys! You deserve it!

I'll make sure to write a heart warming review on Steam!

Well, mainly just enabling the fans of Factorio to write Steam reviews before others could would have been close to manipulation anyway, so personally I'm glad Steam doesn't allow reviews without playtime.

You don't need that, you'll probably get an overwhelmingly positive rating anyway just shortly after release.
Thanks for handing out keys to every customer, I love those business practices and the transparency you show! Looking forward to thursday; I'm going to support you and this game.

However, as everyone's already talking about minor spelling issues: FFFs certainly don't need to be without small typos, but your Steam page still has at least one ("entites"), along with some grammar that may possibly be incorrect ("but in short time"). Your starter page linked on the homepage is also filled with little mistakes ("howto", and the last paragraph was obviously written and rearranged without proof reading).
I hope you don't mind me saying this - I don't think that's bad, it just doesn't do justice to the quality of your game ^^ It can certainly influence the impreession people get.

Think we can write community guides..
There is no guides yet, so we could chime in a few guides prior to launch

Most polished Early Access game ever released on Steam.
