I almost never buy games at launch, but this is the one dev I absolutely trust to make a good product. Even if I absolutely hate the expansion (which I won’t), I’d still be happy for them to have my money.
Now I just gotta get going and finish my k2-se play through.
That’s honestly something I appreciate about wube, and further makes me want to buy ASAP. I’ll be buying the expansion regardless, but the knowledge I probably won’t be missing out on a future potential sale does feel nice.
The expansion price is more than justified IMO.
I’m honestly surprised that their pricing model isn’t more prevalent. As I see it, it’s always on sale price, so it loses out on the $x2 early buyers, but makes up for it in spades in brand loyalty.
I suppose the bean counters elsewhere have decided it’s not really a viable strategy unless you’ve got such a game, though.
Yeah, i think Factorio is that kind of game that can pull this sort of strats, most other game might not see such result if it never discounted. It’s just too unique on what the dev focus on, and is pretty niche kind of game that might not appeal to wide audience.

They also never get discounted, so whether to buy day 1 or day 1000 it doesn’t really matter anyway.
