21st of October, let's go!

Available on Steam for wishlisting now as well.
Not sure I agree with having the expansion on the same cost as the base game, but it is a tremendous amount of changes and improvements, both in the free patch as well as the additional paid content. So I'm definitely going to buy it.

It's reasonably easy to guess exactly what you paid for the game, since the only change in price since launch was a $5 bump in January last year. It's never been on sale.

It's never been on sale, but the price HAS gone up multiple times since it was first launched in alpha.

Completely blanked on early access pricing, so yes, if you bought it before release then it was likely cheaper still.

By "launch", you mean its release date, right? I paid for early access years before that.

[–] ace@lemmy.ananace.dev 1 points 4 months ago

That is true, I didn't even think of early access.

I bought Factorio for 20$, and my friend bought it for 25$, And now it costs 35$.

So there have been different prices over the years

[–] ace@lemmy.ananace.dev 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I assume both the $20 and $25 prices were during alpha/early access. Was thinking entirely of release pricing.

I don't remember when Factorio was in early access. But I can see in my steam purchase history I bought it 1. Sep 2017
