(But it's also heavily on sale right now, for $15 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/526870/Satisfactory/)

Personally, I don't mind at all. For one I bought it at $30, but also I have 2,000 hours logged. Per hour that's a cost of $0.02 per hour (at the new price) if I had bought it at $40. I'm all for calling out studios like ubisoft for being greedy, but coffee stain has done a very fair job with Satisfactory IMO, and they very well deserve $10 more for the game.

That being said, go pick it up now for $15

triple the price if that means we eventually find out what those talking spheres do

And SAM ore

Honestly as much as I dislike it raising in price, if this is a price increase for the initial release that's completely fine due to the fact that the game is definitely worth more than they're selling it anyway, plus I give them props alone for releasing the fact that they are going to raise the price because most Studios would just have this really good deal and then raise the base price after the sale never letting anyone know ahead of time

I’d agree but apparently this is due to “inflation”, so more than likely they’ll increase it again on release.

You apparently haven't watched the video. He explicitly said they wanted to raise it on release but have to do it earlier because of some steam policies

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

The video literally opens with him saying it’s inflation…

Ahhh I'm torn about it. Is there any news about the stuttering issue that came with update 8? It's unplayable now around the northern forest and if this is how 1.0 is I'll pass

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Plenty of optimizations since update 8 went into the beta channel, updates are paused right now because they're spending all their dev time working towards 1.0.

There was a video not long ago talking about some of the optimizations coming to 1.0

They keep improving everything.

I've owned it for a while, I think I just hit 1000 hours in game.

I'm excited to see what 1.0 brings.

There's an interesting theory going around that the steam rules that they have to abide by are surrounding sales. You can't put a game on sale immediately following a price change like they're doing, you have to wait something like 30 days. So it might be that they wanted to do a release sale, and this is a good opportunity for them to get the price change done in advance of the launch sale.

This implies that 1.0 is coming within a few months. I want to believe the rumors, but I've waited so long for 1.0, that I am very hesitant to get my hopes up.

I heard that, Snut was also very cagey on why they had to do a specific sale and how it was working. I think we're getting very close to the full release....

Unrelated, do you know of any good multiplayer groups for satisfactory?

I've been looking to join some experienced people. I dunno if any such groups exist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Personally, no. But, you can make a post asking! I'm sure there are people here who know of groups or are looking themselves!
