A number of people are moaning about the Price. and 95% of those have comments turned off.

This isn't a paradox DLC or some Creative assembly BS. This EXPANSION offers easily 5 times the content of the base game. It brings tons of quality of life stuff, offers gate and door for future mods and most of all, the base game is still there. you can still play the base version of Factorio.

I can understand that some people dislike the "no discount" policiy. But in all honesty we gamers constantly get ♥♥♥♥ on by companies who try to sell us low effort, cut out dlc-crap in tiny slices. They do discounts by the dozens, bundle discounts, sales, summer sales, black friday mega sales and what not.

Here we have a damn good quality, high content exspansion, and the dev ask to get paid properly for their work. Quality has its price, and this expansion? it would be worth double the price and still be cheap!

A $50 bundle would be exceedingly fair. The base game is four and a half years old (Almost nine years if you include EA) and hasn't had a single sale.

@Kiwicookies My own writing is not always the best, so take this with a grain of salt: You should really proofread your post before sending it, i had quite a bit of trouble understanding what you mean.

Again, I disagree. The base game is 45 USD now, which again, is more than a usual Indie title ask for. That is nowhere near a AAA title (like black ops 6= 90 USD, Red dead redemption 2 = 110 USD, Baldurs Gate 3 = 80). The base game is still available, and also gets the QoL stuff

My argument is not, that the price isn't unsual high. My Argument is, that the price is justified. The amount of content,( not to mention playtime) you get out of it, is unproportional high in comparison what any AAA title would offer. I am of the opinion, that good quality justifies a high price, and I much rather have a dozen Space Age Expsansions, than 5 USD unit packs, 15 USD cut out content DLCs or the 10 USD skin packs that most companies offer these day.

there are to games so far that counter ur point. Black Myth and BG3. only 60 bucks and full experiences. Factory raised its price when it got out of early access to 30 bucks. thats when i bought it. they raised it last year to 35 bucks(usd). They did not and any meaningful content for 2 years and raised the price to $35 because of inflation. the whole experience is $70! u now pay AAAA game price for the game.. new people have to pay $70 to play. I dont think games should be 70 and 50 but they are killing their good will to make u pay that. they never go on sale and u can never get a key anywhere else. all other game companies factor that in to lost and move on. They will screw u just like every other AAAA devs. Do no recommend to friends, make sure this falters, and the game might go on sale or go to 60 bucks like Black Myth and BG3. those are people with pride in what they and do farm their fans for money.

@excessivelysalty Yeah i can see what you mean with the two comments below yours XD
ExcessivelySalty 24 Oct @ 1:50pm 
People turn comments off because most of the people who respond aren't there for a healthy debate, they just want to flame or say something stupid. Who has time for that?

you moaning about how they did it right, of course to your expectations and I dont see a way of leaving a comment on your profile so there you go, became a part of the 95% (from where the f did you take the number?)

"EXPANSION offers easily 5 times the content of the base game" where ? i found only lots of recycled content from original game, new tier of power armor that can go through the obstacles and thats all xD tbh im not even sure that its not made by AI

I wouldn't consider double to be cheap, but higher than the current price tag would be fair in this economy.

The content they've provided is definitely huge compared to multiple companies which is part of why people are conditioned to see the price as a rip off. Simply put they're too used to what other companies do.

Honestly I'm with you in saying that I see no issue with the price, I just don't have the money for it right now. I have other things I need to prioritize.

yeah good job being "real", genius.

Let's be real: Most people who buy shit on sale don't even play the shit they buy anyway. That's why you see memes about gamers with hundreds of games in their libraries with 0 hrs of playtime. If you have to wait for a sale to decide if this game was for you, it probably isn't for you. Either play the demo and figure that out or move on.
