    The true cost of the game is much higher though.

    Edit: My dumbass forgot it was April Fool’s Day. Ignore this comment.

          It’s not the point in your life, it’s just the world we currently live in. Every day could be April Fools as far as I can tell.

    Doesn’t show as on sale for me. Maybe region specific?

    Imagine if the dev actually did this. They’d probably make millions just from those that added it to their wishlist hoping it’ll go on sale someday and completely forgot about it. I know because I was one if those dudes but eventually caved after I found out it’ll never go on sale.

      I was as well. Put off buying it for years, as I am the patient gamer who waits for deals. I caved after playing Satisfactory and still having the itch to build factories

      I have fifty steam accounts that own one copy of Factorio each and I’m just waiting to cash in.

      I thought I was ruined at first.

            But who would buy an entire steam account just for factorio at the normal price, you could just buy it now on the steam store

              You bring a rationality that is not appreciated in investing circles!

              (The OP is known for joking 90% of the time, if you read their account name, just disregard the opinion and assume the opposite)
