Factorio Forums

I was discussing Factorio pricing with some friends and I fully understand the developers’ position regarding discounts. This post is not about asking for sales or price reductions.

I would like to share a purchasing power comparison, specifically regarding regional pricing in Brazil. Even with regional pricing applied, the game represents a noticeably different share of income depending on the country.

Currently, Factorio costs about $35 USD.
In the United States, this corresponds to roughly 2–3% of a minimum monthly wage.
In Brazil, the regional price represents approximately 7–8% of a minimum monthly wage.

My intention is not to say the game is expensive, but to highlight that the relative value compared to local income is higher in some regions. I believe this is an important factor when considering accessibility.

I just wanted to share this perspective so it can be taken into account, and perhaps looked at with some care, when discussing regional pricing.

Apologies if my English is not perfect. It is not my native language, and I needed some help to make the text clearer and easier to understand for everyone.
