Ok, I’ve watched the video. I will admit I had not known about the g2a thing. While I get the sale thing a little more. I still don’t see the inflation point. I get it’s to continue development and such but it’s only affecting new users and in a way making it harder to buy the game at the best time. Imagine if I hadn’t heard of this game until it went up to 35 bucks. Sure they say the best time is now, but now this fomo is also into play as a result of the price increases this game will possibly get.
It went 30 USD in March 2018. It went 35 USD in January 2023. FOMO really hardly seems like an issue, especially if you compare it to the usual time-limited event sales.
You can price your game for what it’s truly worth when you’ve got such a quality product. The value of the dollar went down, but the value of Factorio hasn’t changed.
