Concerned Ape (Stardew Valley): I swear on the honor of my family name, i will never charge money for a DLC or update for as long as I live. Screencap this and shame me if I ever violate this oath. (x.com)

IMO Wube (Factorio's devs) is a lot like ConcernedApe, when it comes to not violate the players' trust. That's why for example Factorio never goes on sales - because the people there believe that it would be disrespectful to charge a larger price to some than others, simply because the others delayed buying it. (Cough Paradox Interactive aka Hipsters' EA cough cough)

They also have the decency to offer you a demo so you can make an informed decision before buying it, in a clear contrast with certain companies that expect you to buy it blind.

About the DLC: I'm one who typically pirates games, mind you, but I'm probably buying it, just like I did mit the base game. The base game isn't incomplete or anything like that; fuck, people compare it with crack for a reason - it's functional, polished, and fun to the point of addictiveness. And the FFF (devlogs) clearly show enough content to be worth it.

Yep.

I pirated Factorio way back when it first came out (0.72?) and I actually didn't like it. It was... Bad.

A few months later someone suggested I give it another go, so I pirated it again. It was a lot better. Like way better. I did a couple of months and was like .. this is soooo good I'm buying it.

I will pre buy the dlc the moment it's available.
