gaming is gonna die during the upcoming hyperinflation
this honestly, the graphics cards prices should be a pretty good indicator that these things will not be affordable soon
Just learn to play Dungeons and Dragons at this point.
kek you are not aware of the whole OGL thing are you
I didn't say D&Done.
What are they gonna do, enforce copyright at my basement table?
I think that only applies to streamer gays.
Nobody's going to come to your house and take your books but it'd be hilarious to see them try. There are so many fricking homebrew rules and accommodations it's impossible to enforce.
Posting this for good measure (and a laugh)
>Dungeons and Dragons
homie you better get out under that rock.
Good.
>upcoming
upcoming.
World outside Argentina hasnt reached hyper yet.
>he doesn't know
precisely why the gamedev threads need to be shut down
go grow a potato first, then you can make your shitty pixelshit games after
you don't need a 4090 to play a game
This. Petrodollar just died, I hope you are fricking ready for the total collapse of the United States.
>TWO
>MORE
>WEEKS
but it didn't release in 2016
$5 dollars is nothing for the amount of fun this game gives me. Meanwhile your 3h earthbound clone about loss and depression doesn't deserve my 10 bucks
This so much this I would gladly pay 60 no 100 dollars for factorio!
Sure. Just get a job bro
He has a job which is why he doesn't mind spending 60 bucks for a good game lol
I'll buy a new game for $60 if its good, not a seven year old game. If he wants more money he should make a new good game instead of thinking customers are welfare for lazy devs
The amount of units being moved annually is still steady
Why would we they jeopardise that?
Supply and demand Black person
If there is still demand don't frick with the supply
have a nice day
Kys shill
Based. Poorgays triggered.
Buy a second copy to trigger the poorgays then instead of trying to convince them to buy it themselves.
kys shill
true
>a few people who play the game that long (and only play that long because of mods) represents the value
lol
the player average for factorio is 100 hours according to steam
which is in the 5 highest
Factorio $20, 0 hrs
Factorio $30, 0 hrs
Factorio $35, 0 hrs
Sorry just not buying your game no matter how hard you shill it here and no matter how frantically you try to soften this PR blunder with cope posts
true, factorio is more than double worth its price
Die, israelite. This sets a precedent for every single other company and needs nipped in the bud NOW.
Just pirate
indie devs are greedy
news at eleven
Shut up you absolute Black person.
The Blasphemous developers gave us three free expansion/updates.
>whataboutism
>stop point out flaws in my arguement uwu
Nah. Indy devs getting greedy shouldn't be supported.
Anon... they are. They have been for the last two years.
Thirdies are just going to pirate anyway.
catholic work ethic
>Its greedy to charge $35 for a game
>A game with no dlc or cash shop
>Just a straight up one time payment for everything
DLC is being worked on. If they want to charge more for it to recoup cost then go for it but you don’t get to claim inflation on a finished product.
>you don’t get to claim inflation on a finished product
You are in no position to negotiate, cuck.
And I fall back to my original retort, there is no reaching thoughtless morons, it is immoral to not encourage your suicide or murder.
It's greedy to charge $35 for a 7 year old, 2D pixelshit indie game and use inflation as an excuse despite the fact that the game is not in development and costs nothing to publish since it's a digital product, yes.
muh whataboutism doesn't change that
Oh man I guess because the game is in development and costs nothing to publish they should give it away for free comrade.
Oh man I guess since you're moving straight into strawmans we're done here.
How dare you talk back to me you disgusting fricking subhuman
>still no argument
concession accepted
not paying $35 for your nearly decade old, 2D indie game lol
I don't care if you buy it.
You made no argument.
"You don't get to adjust price for inflation"
You don't get a say in what they "get to" do.
What a thoughtful "person" you are, when your thought terminates at "I don't like thing" and you can't even pretend to justify it beyond that.
The Canton of Zurich is waiting for you. They understand your need and will help guide you painlessly to your final sleep.
>Impotent screeching
pay up cuck
I not buying the game dickweed. Again tie your bedsheets into a noose and use your door as the support. God knows you’re too fat to use a fan or railing in your closet.
Ok don't buy it lol
>Pwease hurt yourself for me because i'm an impotent cuck and i cant do it myself
no lol
Not asking, just reminding you that you have no value to anyone in life and there would actually be a net gain should you not be here anymore. Any sadness would be quickly forgotten in about a month to six months tops.
Anon, you're basically an animal compared to me.
Hardly, you barely see beyond your nose. You are a net drain on all those around. There wasn’t a day while raising you that your mother didn’t ask herself why you weren’t a blow job or an abortion. Then she took another valium and stopped listening to you scream.
seethe subhuman
Me seethe? Look at how fast you respond to me. You know everything I said about you is right. Your only meaning in life is proverbially sucking the wiener of people who will never know your name and would never let you be in actual sucking distance if they did.
Yea you don't seem upset at all lol
Waiting for my every reply because daddy wasn’t there? He knew you were a waste.
don't care I bought it in EA for $10 or whatever and don't regret it
maybe try developing an eye for quality OP
>shovelware where the point is to make the game play itself
>quality
It's one of the best games of the last decade and it's sad that you don't realize that.
>best games of the last decade
if you go purely by programming sure otherwise you're a delusional moron
factorio isn't even worth pirating
>EA bad
>$70 games bad
>but it's okay when muh wholesome indie poorgay devs do it
EA games aren't worth five dollars.
Indie games aren't worth 1 dollar.
I'd pay $70 or $100 if the game was good enough
I would happily pay $70 if a AAA game ever delievered on half the shit it promised
I'm so glad I didn't buy Darktide, they shipped a game with half the shit they promised, but made damned sure that the microtransactions store in game worked perfectly.
if you don't already own factorio you were never planning on buying it
Then why increase the price if no one is going to buy it anymore? moron israelite
>moron israelite
The if you only applies to homosexuals reading his post that means Ganker posters. If you as a Ganker poster do not already own Factorio you were never going to buy it.
You had YEARS of threads to make a decision to buy it.
It's a game I'd consider paying maybe $10 for since it's mildly interesting, but it's also basically just a logic gate simulator for autists.
Then why increase the price if no one is going to buy it anymore? moron israelite
That isn’t the fricking point you disingenuous c**t. Games do not increase in value. A digital only game that can be infinitely copied are damn near worthless. There is no inflationary forces on this nonexistent toy other than the devs being hook nosed sheisters.
> Games do not increase in value.
Right, but money decreases in value over time.
No you disingenuous homosexual, Donkey Kong nes isn’t worth 142.83 today. Factorio isn’t worth 5 extra dollars now. The product is finished, the forces of the dollar drag it down with it not stay the same. It isn’t fricking static. The reason The Mona Lisa is worth more today is because there is only one of it. Gold is finite, Factorio is goddamned infinite making it actually worthless.
That's not true at all. Access is limited regardless of how much it can be duplicated, creating an incentive to pay for it. This incentive in turn creates value as the value of anything on a market is whatever anyone is willing to pay for it.
So if people buy it for $35 it's worth $35
have a nice day
>Money
You both might as well be arguing about MLP or Harry Potter.
Yeah, everyone's life operates on your personal perspective and not their own. moron.
You're right, new autismos are born every day. They also have no memory of 30 dollar Factorio so it doesn't matter in the slightest.
Even if they remember, who cares? You wanna ride the train pay the ticket price
Should have bought it at 30, buy it now before a it's 40!
Yeah it does you fricking secondary
just pirate the game.
They don't even release content/uådayes for it
Nice so now even less people will buy this autism simulator.
thank you joe biden and democrats
now send more billions to ukraine
>increasing the price is good because... it just is ok!?
Truly npc behavior, hope they all start doing it, and even factor the hours of gameplay into it, so morons will have to pay 200 for shit like gaytorio and if they dare say something you call them out on how they allowed it to happen
I'm not saying it's good but it sure is hilarious watching you actual morons seethe about this.
>haha this is so funn- hey whats that israelite doing to MY favorite product! That's not fair!
It truly is funny waching you actual brainlets thinking you're untouchable, then when it eventually happens to you you're none the wiser, ignorance is bliss as they say
Factorio is my favorite product you moron. And like anyone with the briefest passing interest in it I have already bought or downloaded it for free. Which you can still do, very easily.
Good day Developers,
Today, on Tuesday 24th January 2023, I will not be buying your game at the base price of $30.
This week, on Thursday 26th January 2023, I will not be buying your game at the increased price of $35.
This is a decision which is based on my evaluation on the value of your game. The max I'd be willing to pay at this current juncture to purchase your game is about $3.50 USD dollars
5:05 PM - Jan 24, 2023
>Ganker: NOOO one of the best games worth hundreds of hours went up with 5 bucks
>also Ganker: *buys 5 redbulls and drinks them in less than one hour*
It's less so the problem of: "Oh no, they're increasing the price". And more a problem of: "Oh no, they lied to us about not increasing the price and justify it with bullshit", but I guess you'd need more than 90iq to realize that, sorry bro..
No they didn't? Where did they lie
>Inflation is bullshit
satisfactory is better anyway
satisfactory is tedious. no bots, the blueprints are borderline useless, and construction in first person takes too much time
this. after 100 hours i just stopped because it just became tedious as all frick. wish i had flymode cheat on at the very beginning
Satisfactory will never be finished at the rate they are going.
ugh this has to be illegal im so angry right now rarw
If he was really cheeky he'd push an update that increases material costs in-game by the same percentage as well.
>Stage of capitalism where companies don't feel a need to even pretend they're offering something and just openly tell you to pay more for identical products.
>and the sheep smile and ask for more
If you shills aren't going to repurchase extra copies, I don't think this is gonna work out for the factorio devs. I'm not sure a price hike is going to convince people who don't already own it by now to buy a copy.
I probably would've bought it at some point if it had gone on sale for $20. And that's more than I'd pay for most games period.
digital games are a fricking scam
I hate the future
if uhate greedy companies then play free passion made indie games like zombie panic, co-op horror, free on steam
>Refuse to put the game on sale ever
>Refuse to lower the price ever
>Increases the price instead
And they expect this won't harm sales?
Who said that?
It'll harm sales, but each sale earns them more, so revenue will increase.
So I guess there won't be any more remasters now.
Imagine if they did this to food and power.
I don't give two fricks about this game but I respect the creator's ability to make thirdies absolutely seethe
>already made gorillions of dollars
>increase the price anyways
Capitalism is evil
this. we need the government to step in and not let them increase their game by $5
I know you meant that to be a strawman but it is sounding less unreasonable than before.
Frick capitalism.
>i believe in x
>no you don't you're just straw manning me
meds
You don't have the right to make as much money as you want.
There, I said it. Earth's resources are finite.
Everyone has to live here so everyone should have a say in what is bought and sold, and how.
We're talking about a luxury good here, not food or medicine.
I don't recognize any distinction. They are outputs to be bought and sold and so should be regulated as such.
you know what you're right the planet's resources are finite, please have a nice day so everyone else has more to go around.
>noooooo you can raise the price of my shitty game that i can choose to not buy
anon the poster you're replying to has belted their brains smoking reefer and reading karl marx.
>there's literal israelites here defending price increases
I thought Ganker was better than reddit
I think they should increase the price further. Normalgays should be bled for every penny they have while I play it for free and laugh.
Factorio is $30. That's way too much.
this. never goes on sale and i've seen better shit that cost half the price.
no, but stray is
Don't worry, it's just trannies kicking up a storm because the dev blew them out on twitter.
The real sad losers are the ones that refuse to buy games until they're 75% off or something and the dev said from day 1 it's NEVER getting a sale and in fact it'll only go up in price as more features are added.
Some cucks literally cannot handle a product gaining value, it's whatever the opposite of FOMO is.
Yeah, we chads love paying more for the same products! We are so smart!
Who do you mean by >we
I had the game for a long time. You did too, right?
And when a game you don't own does it, will you bend over like a b***h? Or will you complain like a hypocrite?
If I don't own a game it wasn't worth buying or owning for me. This is yet another non-argument.
Shut up troony.
>I buy all games as soon as they release because I'm smart!
Don't (you) at me again, I don't want to catch your idiocy
>we chads love paying more for the same products!
Who is paying more? The chads already bought the game. It's the trannies that haven't that are crying over it.
>being a cuck is when you want to pay less
I wonder what life is like in the head of people who post stuff like this, what are their thoughts like, is it just white noise at all times while their brain churns out absolute garbage for other people to read? Is there anything in there at all?
No, being a cuck is waiting 10 years to buy a game and then complain it only went up in price, when that's what the dev said from the very start.
The game never goes on sale, NEVER, that's the promise he made to people buying it early. Of course mega soys like you took at that personally and rather waited a literal decade in the faint hope that the game will go on a sale at some point so you finally don't feel like you missed out all this time (you did).
Then the dev rugpulled you and you're now mad at the realization that you waited all this time for nothing.
You're an impotent petulant child kicking and stomping because they're not getting their free dindu gibs.
Pirate the game if you're such a colossal pussy that you work yourself up to crippling anxiety when you see a game you want, but it's not going on sale. Nobody cares.
But you're not fooling anyone that you're a weak pathetic excuse for a human being for crying about this online.
Not reading any of that reddit spaced wall of text 2bqh
I don't need to read it, I know nothing you have nothing of value to say from your first 60IQ post.

I've seen dev teams with less than 5 people do more
terraria always coming with big updates until that one final update and still asking only 5$
They and a couple other devs lurked Ganker, they even dropped some keys on us. I've bought and gifted their games, since they were pretty nice guys.
It is funny that a dev team that made a game about optimization has suffered from such obvious bloat.
>I believe that all games should adjust for inflation, and it should have started much sooner, I wish it to become a norm.
Couldn't have said it better, all games are under-priced and need to be made more expensive.
Zero chance he isn't israeli. That is the most israeli post I have ever read.
could you imagine a pay to win mobile version of factorio
>premium crafting materials
>needed to craft special overpowered items

He has gotten way too wienery ever since people defended and bought his game after some redditgays tried to get him cancelled.
whatre they even working on, they should be making a new game
>I'M SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY SO I NEED YOU TO GIVE ME MORE
Maybe don't have a team of useless morons who don't add any value, then?
>I over hired and diluted my core autism team so we can't deliver anything
Isnt the next project just a mod expansion? 2 coders on the engine, an artist, sound guy, music guy, "producer", 2-3 HR and accountant roasties. How the frick do you get to 30 people?
You're forgetting to include the paid shills, those jeets wont do it for free you know.
Not wrong.
But I won't buy a game unless at 75% off or less than 4 bucks.
all those words to not address the main complaint.
>he hired 30 people to maintain a game thats been finished for 7 years and barely gets any updates
lol, lmao even
>7 years
What the frick do they even do if they haven't released a game since then?
>What the frick do they even do
Like most millionaire indie devs - mostly drugs and hookers.
>The real sad losers are the ones that refuse to buy games until they're 75% off or something
If you do this you are getting a game that has clearly failed in the marketplace or quasi-abandonware with no updates or community.
>digital product

WE ALL PLAYED IT JOHN, you're the one that bought it for $35
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A-pkPQVr194ncPZejzAsVdx6cKu9e0Du/edit
Frick you you worthless frick
I prefer the term priceless
worthless?
i'd say that's worth $30 soon to be $35 lol
NOOOOOO
THINK OF LE HECKING WHOLESOMERINO DEVELOPERS
THEY'LL GO BANKRUPT IF YOU KEEP STEALING FROM THEM
Look man that $35 can buy me at least a few hens and roosters, I'll be selling some eggs. Then maybe I can afford one copy of factorio.
>don't even care for the game
>downloaded it anyway
>then deleted it afterwards
Looks like someone just lost $30-$35.
>never buying
>never pirating
I just won't consume your product.
I spend more than $35 on lunch every day. Anyone concerned about this is too broke to be playing games in the first place.
Why would you willingly spend more on lunch?
I like to eat good food, not come on Ganker and brag about being an unemployed 35 year old still living in the same room and sleeping on the same twin bed he had at age 15, eating microwaved """chicken"""
So instead you'll give all your money to a boomer landlord and live next to strangers who might be criminals.
>landlord
Christ. I own my home.
>a-a-achtually the bank owns it
No, I do. You idiots are so far behind in life you can't even argue about it properly, the first and only alternative to living with your mother was some shitty apartment with black neighbors. I swear at least half the threads here are just thinly veiled poverty b***hing, people are here to cry about $5, what a fricking life.
>i own my property
lolno the government does. try not paying your property taxes.
that being said, based. people crying about a VIDEO GAME costing 5 dollars more are turbo Black folk.
Nobody cares about the number 5 you mongoloid autist. If you let them get away with it at 5 dollars they will just do it later with 10 then fricking 20 why fricking not?
The limits are drawn by the consumer. That's why EA was getting shat on left and right and that was a good thing. Game devs will put on a price increase they think they can get away with and go higher from there and suddenly games cost 30% out of nowhere and the cheapest mid range gpu is 1000$.
>food analogy
>comparing food to video games
>t.
You're stupid with your money. Doesn't mean everyone else should be too.
>buy game
>give a negative review
>refund
>pirate it
I don't object to the price increase, I object to the completely moronic reason for it. "This game's had a ton of stuff added to it since launch and the price is being updated now to reflect that" is fine. "Lmao inflation" is bullshit.
funny part is that that's not even true
there hasn't been any new content in over a year, just tweaks and fixes here and there
sure as hell not enough to justify a $5 increase
and then they wanna sell the expansion for an additional whatever on top of it
thank you regional prices for letting me buy this game for 13 dollars
I've paid way more for way shittier games. It's fun and it's not buggy. You can't even say that about $60-$70 games or cheaper indie games.
Do yourself a favor and get satisfactory instead, it's on sale right now, and while it's still in early access it's already a better game than factorio could ever be
Dev is probably spending more money astroturfing on Ganker than they're gonna make with the price increase
>never on sale
>prince inflation
This is what happens when indies get too wienery
>early days
I made this indie game for fun in my garage, I feel bad charging money for it, so I'll just put it in a .zip file on my website, I hope everyone likes it!
>mid days
I made this indie game.. but I see people are making money making games, so I'm putting it on steam for a couple bucks.
>bad days
I made this indie game, and I'm an indie dev, which means I need to make money to survive. I put this early access game on steam, give me money for it. I may or may not update it, but pay me anyway.
>badder days
I made this indie game. It's 5 years old but I'm never discounting it. Actually, it's going up in price because uhh.. inflation? Give me more money.
What's next?
who knows what anymore but it's fricked when people fire a important member of a small indie team because they said the wrong opinion
cough subnautica cough
>israelite reveals his true nature for 5 shekels

what the frick happened to indie devs? weren't they supposed to be the good guys?
Na. Far too many indies are peddling shovelware trash for people to accept it across the board; they wouldn't have the balls to do it lest they get anally devastated. Anyway, it's probably a bullshit reason the devs made up for the price increase, but regardless, Factorio is still a gem and is worth $35.
>Ganker defending greedy exploitative devs because they "owned the libs" a few months back
You people are trained fricking monkeys. Absolutely embarrassing.
>NOOOO!
>Ganker IS COOL EDGELORDS!
>WE ARE LEGION!!!
video games are not a necessity. either pay for them, or don't; either way, shut the frick up.
imagine if they put the game on sale, wouldn't that be fricking wild.
Remember back in the day when the price of games decreased as time went on?
yeah about that uhhhh...

Have you tried being white
your greentext makes no frickin' sense. homosexual.
more than half the games under this list are on sale, except you know, the one were b***hing about. the game that has never been on sale, ever? nintendo games go on sale more than this shit.
have you tried not eating shit?
Oh my god I was joking but you genuinely do not understand "no sales" means it will have no fricking sales
Buy game on steam for 30, wait till they increase price to 35, ask for refund, 5 dollar profit
It's as simple as this
If you defend prices going up, you're clinically moronic.
Fricking this. Why would you defend someone else trying to israelite you ?
>Why would you defend someone else trying to israelite you ?
If you've already bought the game, why the frick do you care if the price rises? If the price lowers however, then that just incentivises people to wait till it goes on sale. Which a lot of people in this thread have admitted to doing, only to get fricked harder as a result. Enjoy.
>.. and this won't set a precedent and will never happen to anyhing else I might want to buy
Letting npc like you use the internet was a mistake
Stop being a penny pinching israelite and holding out for sales, rather take sales as the come.
At some point in your life you will need to learn to decide if something is worth a certain price, and more importantly, to suck it up if it's not and move on
>if you've already married the woman, why the frick do you care if someone else fricks her

It is literally ONLY americans (and south americans) getting mad at the price adjustment.

No
You got that backward, it's usually burgers who bow down to the corporate overlords, moron. In the EU i'll buy something, use it, and then send it back because it's fricking garbage and get my full money back.
Anon, endless sales and attempting to devalue old products which are still perfectly good IS the corporate overlords strategy. Where are all the AAA games adjusting up in price and refusing to go on sale?
You are going full corporate cuck while getting mad at a white man selling his product for what its worth.
But this piece of shit isn't worth 35 bucks and i won't buy it.
Then why are you mad?
If it's not worth $35 now it wasn't worth $30 a year ago.
>Then why are you mad?
I'm not, why are you moronic ?
If you weren't mad you wouldn't be on the internet sperging out over an indie company refusing to adopt the israeli market norms.
>being israeli is when you sell things at discounts
wtf I love israelites now
Yes. If you are too stupid to see the scam in in "ON SALE, 50% OFF" 50% of the time then you are no better than the average American.
>games comes out at £50
>not interested because I'm not that into the game
>game comes down in price because its old and dated
>buy it at £10 because thats what I'm willing to pay for a game I'm only mildly intrigued by
>this is somehow israeli
>as long as it doesn't concern me, who cares if ~~*they*~~ scammed some whales?
I can see your long nose even from here, you filthy israelite.
It comes down in price because its old, same as literally everything else. You pay more if you really really want it immediately, and pay less if you're willing to wait.
Raising the price over time is maximum judaism, literal usury mindset.
>Raising the price over time
Not talking about this right now.
I'm talking about inflating the price and put it on sales so ~~*they*~~ can maximize the profits by scamming whales, while also grab the wallets of small fishes (such as you) when the price is right for those small fishes.
That's the most fricking israeli tactics if I ever saw one.
>Not talking about this right now.
That is, quite literally what this entire thread is about.
You pay less for older games because they're generally dated, fun but the graphics and other aspects have notable datedness, as well as becoming buggier on newer machines. It's completely fair to sell it for less later down the line, at the time it was new and novel
Yes. As proof, it's what the israelites literally do right now in the israelite-run world we live in.
Nah i'm just bored
That's not in any way an adequate analogy at all and one of the worst cases of mutt's law I've ever seen.
can I get a food analogy?

0% chance.
Price hiking only to claim it is on sale at the original price is illegal. Even as a joke.
nope. id say price increase even by $5 means it will boost its sales temporarily because people want to get it while it's "cheaper"
Imagine being so fricking brainwashed by endless sales, DLC and microtransactions that you think a game keeping a consistent price is somehow a bad thing.
Modern Ganker is utterly cucked beyond belief and you morons throwing a fit at FACTORIO of all things maintaining its value is proof.
your game isn't worth 30$ your game isn't even worth 35$ it's not even worth 25$
at best I'll give you 15
now go back to your basement where you belong
I do not give the slightest shit what random number you think you've divined to be correct.
The simple fact is only fricking morons think products shouldn't have a consistent price.
Buying a digital product, completely free from any concerns of supply or demand, and then having its price go up or down afterwards is cucked.
Sitting around waiting for sales and then rushing to buy stuff because it's only at a reasonable price for a few weeks a year is cucked.
Having to sit around and wait for games to go down in price instead of buying what you want is cucked.
>random number
that's what people consider the acceptable price for a indie game
don't like it? get the frick out.
Demonstrably false.
>get the frick out
I'm not the one too poor to pay the eternal monkey island price for a genre defining game, nor too stupid to just pirate it if I don't want to.
Nice arguments homosexual, you sure showed me.

amazing, everything you said was moronic
>wanting to pay more is cucked
I really really want to see how me paying less is somehow cucked. Give me your big brain explanation on this megamind idea of yours
>I really really want to see how me paying less is somehow cucked
That's the thing, you aren't paying less ^;)
Well I'm not paying anything because I'm just not going to buy his game and pirate it instead lmao.
If you buy a game for more than it was originally sold you are a literal moron.
He believes his game is worth that much, i believe it isn't. Now frick you and kys
Thus, no transaction is made and you both go about your day. It's only a big deal if you actually want the product and in that case he knows he has you over a barrel.
If you still haven't noticed, this board is mostly comprised of subhuman third worlders like slavs and brazilians. They cannot afford that type of good and feel like the world should bend to their needs
Factorio dev is literally a slav subhuman you fricking moron.
>everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, gets adjusted for inflation annually
>nooo muh videogamerinos should always remain the same price forever, but they can go down though 🙂
welcome to the real world suckas
Still not buyin
At what point did crying on Ganker become acceptable, just fricking pirate the game if you don't think it's worth the money.
But that's what this is about, isn't it?
watch a zoomer try to use a computer some time, they can't pirate, they can barely navigate to a website in a browser, they need an app

>Are those other games actively supported? Oh they aren't. Funny how that works.
Well go on post these near 10 year old still supported games that don't have micro transactions.
You won't because you're a homosexual and they don't exist.
If you didn't buy Factorio for 10 bucks nearly a decade ago you only have yourself to blame.
Terraria
now kys
>they don't exist
lol there's at least 5 games exactly like that and even then you're a fricking moron I know of games almost no one plays that people run servers for with no real income coming from it
>there's 5
>doesn't name them
wow you sure showed me.
1 fricking game amazing.
>oh but you didn't name them
because there's no reason to do so you fricktard
it's not a scientific question or some fricking college essay
Then frick off you dumb moron. Don't say there's 5 games and don't fricking say what they are.
Idiot.
People are still buying the game and will continue to do so.
>People are still buying the game and will continue to do so.
Lmao okay bud. Are you and your shill squad buying 2nd and 3rd copies or something?
>https://www.thegamer.com/factorio-sales-milestone/
I dunno man it's pretty popular. They will continue to sell copies. Eat shit.
>Past sales indicate future sales

>Eat shit
Not gonna buy your game precisely because I'd rather not eat shit at all let alone paying $35 to eat shit.

Ah yes one game. One fricking game absolutely disproves my point. One game an outlier an exception. One game means all 10 year old games are supported today.
Idiot.

Yes. Now try to pretend to have some fricking self respect and take your L homosexual.

Yes.

>Everybody lose their mind
To understand why people are justifying a shit business practice you have to understand the mind of someone who actually plays factorio.
It is literally a game for autistic people who don't know how the actual world works.
Normally, I'd be against this
but because it's making predditors and troons seethe I'm all for it
frick those subhuman homosexuals, they deserve the rope
didn't they raise the price up to 200 dollars for russians after the war began?
Normally, I'd be pro this.
but because it's making predditors and troons seethe I'm all against it
frick those subhuman homosexuals, they deserve the rope
who fricking gives a shit, the game is well worth $35.
no its not lmfao it looks like shit dude.
I'd probably play it for 40 hours max, it's not worth $35. I don't care if some autistic people played it for 1000 hours, autistic people aren't human they don't count.
>unironically using dollars to time
So you'd be willing to pay thousands of dollars for Ganker?
I wouldn't pay anything for Ganker, just like I'm going to pay nothing to play factorio
Then buy another copy yourself instead of demanding other people agree with your shit opinion on what the price should be. I think the game looks like it's worth 10 bux max so I'm not gonna buy shit.
NOT THE HECKIN FACTORINO
Pirate it. Actually if I could I would just ask for a refund.
One is a niche game that got a small but dedicated community, and the other is a mainstream game that got a big community that's going to move on next popular thing
In other words, Factorio is good, GoWR bad
a few autist neets with nothing better to do than spending 2000 hours in a game don't even count as humans
>tried to set price to $150 in Russian region back when the war begun

Oh no
lol
I'll pirate it if I feel like it, someday, maybe
but definitely never buying it. greedy israelites.
They should raise it more, simply because of the outcry.
>indie games
Nothing of value
I always forget random indie shovelware are the top most desired PC games
Can't wait until they start a kickstarter for funding because they are too stubborn and dug in to this price increase (that won't make them any money) to walk back their decision.
Why would they need to do that? They have funding for now and are working on a paid expansion. Raising the price just keeps them aloft for longer.
>Raising the price just keeps them aloft for longer.
Uh huh sure thing bud
>kickstarter
That would be hilarious. They sold 500k copies last year. At $30 a pop that's $15M spent on Factorio, of course part of that goes to game stores and payment processors and banks and whatever the frick else, but it's still a very large amount of money for a small company. I don't see how they could possibly run out of funding.
The expansion better be really fricking good
Thread theme
>This is gonna ruin an entire generation of indie games
How so? Indies used to be free to $5. They've been jacking prices up for over a decade at this point. Not to mention jumping on the broken game at launch but we'll fix it later train, the day 1 dlc train, the hyper deluxe edition train, and not to mention the massive amount of AAA-like copycatting the current big thing (roguelite, cards, vamp surv, and so many more). Indie a shit.
>gives every indie dev an inflation fetish
Ummm based?
I think its based.
I gonna remove my 10,000€ sealed pokemon red copy from ebay and put it for 15,000€ aswell to adjust for inflation.
>people who paid 30 for it 6 years ago are just better people all around
>(You), the person who wants to buy it 6 years later are a moron and deserve to pay more
thats all i'm getting from this
soon nintendo will go from keeping their games the same price for 10 years straight to increasing the price every year - this only sets a bad precedent for gaming as a whole and the people defending this are deluded
Even Todd doesnt raise the price of his yearly Skyrim "remasters"
>people who paid 30 for it 6 years ago are just better people all around
>(You), the person who wants to buy it 6 years later are a moron and deserve to pay more
Correct.
You have autism, you literally have no soul, it shouldn't even be illegal to kill you.
Don't care I'll buy it on sale anyway
how does inflation even affect the dev? the game is long since finished and they've just as long since made gorrilions of dollars from it. did the dude fricking squander all his money at a casino??
>how does inflation even affect the dev?
$30 is no longer worth as much as before, thus the price increase.
have a nice day
If you spent more than 10 bucks on factorio then you have no issue with raising prices because that's what it was originally sold for.
This thread is full of hypocrites that bought Factorio after the price was raised.
homosexuals.
Dont care about pc slop getting more expensive.
I play on playstation, there the games get cheaper when they become old.
I can buy the last of us and horizon zero dawn physical in a retail store for the same price as factorio
>you don't get it this game is worth x forever- some randumb homosexual
>me downloading zoo tycoon and RCT for free since it's abandonware and couldn't even be sold for more than 3$ today
>assmad autistic homosexual would argue I should pay full price still because his code is worth gold while not even john carmack himself is okay with you downloading doom for free
frick off
Autists don't understand because they will buy one game and just play that forever. They can't comprehend the idea of people playing more than one game.
>since it's abandonware and couldn't even be sold for more than 3$ today
How can you be so moronic as to point out what makes one case different from the other yourself still not understand the difference
Factorio is not abandonware and is selling for over $3
>durrr
okay but your game should be 20$ still I don't care
you don't get to say your game is 60$ next year because you feel like it
go piss and cum your pants already
See
Not every game is for you. If you think it's worth 20 and it's sold for 35, then just don't buy it. If you think a game is too hard and needs an easy mode, just don't buy it.
You're not the main character, you're a nobody. You can't change the world
it's fine no game will be for you in 10 years 🙂 because then you'll be sitting in the gullag with slav dev
What?
You WILL pay more for the same game and you WILL pre-order Harry Potter to own teh libs
why is everyone crying over a measly $5?
I don't even give a frick about factorio, I however know that every other homosexual dev will copy the same model and suddenly a game from 15 years ago will be charging $100 because muh inflation
Eat a bullet, drink bleach
it's 5 fricking dollars
record yourself burning $5 right now if it's so meaningless
I buy coffees that cost more than 5 dollars every day

I was hoping to with the raise in income I started getting this year. Then all of a sudden rent goes up for the second year in a row (never went up successively like that before), gas for cooking/heating jumped massively so suddenly my winter gas bills are $100+ more, electric usage is down yet the bill just went up for the 3rd time within the past year, food prices ain't going down. Suddenly the extra money I bring in is just instantly gone. Hell, I'm going to end up with far less "for me" money a month than I had previously despite making more.
have a nice day, crush up cherry seeds and swallow the resin.
I used to be able to get a complete dinner at mcdonalds for $5 (2 burgers, fries, drink). Now just the burgers alone cost close to $6.
If devs realise your average autist is a moron that will unironically pay whatever they want then they'll just keep pushing up the price to see what they can get away with. It's bad enough autists inflicted paradox and their $200 map painting simulators on the world.
IT'S JUST HORSE ARMOR
Bad example, paid mods fell flat on their face several times and never took off like bethesda wanted them to.
They are alive and well with creation club.
It did take off though, they just evolved into other forms in the industry like MTX and lootboxes. Horse armor was primitive and laughable, but everyone else in the industry took note and realized gamers are the easiest marks in the entertainment industry
>Paid mods fell flat
>Creation club and Minecraft bedrock still exists
you know you gays are the worst
nothing can be enjoyed anymore
it's $35... for a 2D indie game... from 7 years ago...
it's would still be israeli if it was only $5 cheaper after 7 years, not even the most israeli publishers around increase prices on old games
>guys, inflation whats the big idea
>somehow nothing else is affected by inflation according to this frickin israelite dev and we should be willing to throw down more $5 because of said inflation
What are you even rambling about? Many things got more expensive due to inflation, this game is one of them. I saw Forspoken released at 80EUR for the baseline version. Wild.
>I saw Forspoken released at 80EUR for the baseline version.
Which is why that game is flopping hard (among other things) as it should
you are comparing a new release to a 7 year old indie shit game with graphics worse than runescape
It's shit eaters like you are the reason why things are getting more and more expensive. You could just sit back and let those who hate price raises argue and fight for everyone to lower prices which in the end would help you out since you would enjoy the lower prices.
However people like you just open up your mouth and tell others that it's okay to just shit in your mouth it's only $5 more. This only leads to them raising prices higher and higher because in the end they know there would be morons like you willing to pay higher and higher prices since nobody's challenging them.
the precedent it sets
>why is everyone crying over planned DLC?
now we have season passes before games are even released
Did people freak out this much when it went from 20 bucks to 30, or whatever it was initially sold for? I mean, yeah, I'm butthurt that they raised the price before I was interested in the game too, but is it worth complaining this much about it?
>a few people play Dota 2 for thousands of hours
Guess it's worth money right?
Yea. Anyone with that playtime has at least bought a compedium

we're just cattle to be milked
Indie games used to be 5-10 bucks. Now they go for 20-the price of an actual AAA title.
Indie games are already ruined, and I blame the Switch for starting it
Yes devs, give me more reason to pirate your shitty games.
Who the frick even plays Factorio anyway? Autistic shit. At least that Satisfactorio or whatever game looks good.
the only reason people are okay with this shit is because the genre is so niche that no one has made anything close to this. almost has a monopoly. ask anyone a good automated builder game it's always this blurry piece of shit game
The game was 20 dollars for years. soon they're going to be charging a full 60 dollars for it.
No that will be using AI to half-ass code and asset creation. It'll literally be the asset flip fiasco of the new generation.
It's pretty shocking the amount of autists who are defending this turbo israelitery.

bro they already got the sales, now if im ever interested ill pirate it
indie games should be 5 to 20 bucks
This shit wouldn't be defended so much by Ganker if this dev was an open liberal
The dev isn't even a right winger, he was headcanoned as such because he didn't bend the knee to the autists who wanted him to apologize for citing a well known software engineer they don't like. He supports Ukraine, he did a price increase for factorio on Russian steam out of spite, he's a commie and is pretty liberal.
>he did a price increase for factorio on Russian steam out of spite
Source?
Based, This is how he gets his ukriane bucks back lol
He’s romanian the way he is trying to pick pockets.
He is though? there's a huge Ukrainian flag on his mod website and he did a huge price hike on Russia after the war started (people will tell you it was an accident and it was just meant to be a minor change to adjust for exchange rate changes, those people are delusional)
you Black folk get triggered by the dumbest shit

The only homosexuals who dickride factorio so hard are desTiny viewers who are certainly not lolbertarians.
Hey poor pathetic losers, if you cant afford the $5 then have a nice day immediately. Everytime I start my lambo it costs me $5, if you even blink at that amount you are not worth saving. Capitalist Chads keep on not giving a frick.
just pirate
they literally don't give a frick
Not worth the effort. The problem is the precedence this move sets. Games do not go up in value and accepting this will see Nintendo charging $70 for Mario Brothers arcade.
why does a justified price raise for inflation cause lefties and commies to seethe so badly?
have a nice day, you don’t get to claim inflation on something there are infinite copies of and takes nothing to make. That is capitalism 101.
You saying it's justified doesn't make it so and it's not going to convince me to waste my money on your game. Take your commie psyop bullshit elsewhere homosexual. I choose what I value and how much I value it, not you.
I just spent a few hours in Factorio and then a few hours in Satisfactory. I like both, and they are well-named. The graphics and first person perspective in Satisfactory do it give a very satisfying feeling when you link together power pole connections and stuff like that. Factorio is like you are the factory organizer god with the power to create out of sheer will, crazy how fast you can get one you learn the shortcuts and get into the flow.
I waited for LITERAL YEARS for a sale and now I'm told that I have to pay more? Yeah lol that's not how it works and will never work, Steam is gonna force this game to go on sale for a fair price and there's nothing they can do about it. Oh wait nevermind, that was just me larping as a dork. This game rules.
>factorio will eventually start selling less and the dev will lose money because of raising the price, and never lowering the price or putting it on sale
Can't wait to see it.
My pay goes up every year based on inflation I've never understood why video games don't adjust I don't see any problem with this. Seems half the morons on this board are so easily manipulated they would have bought the game if they just released it at $60 and then immediately put it on sale for 50% off.
have a nice day
>I've never understood why video games don't adjust
Because they actually devalue. Video games are not eggs.
they made over 100 million dollars on a pixel shit autism simulator $10 tops game
pirated it way before it was even on steam
>never puts his game on sale
>increases the price because of ~~*inflation*~~
>supports Ukraine
Could this guy be any more of a israelite?
>buying games
https://gog-games.com/game/factorio
Why does he need to adjust for inflation? He isnt producing this game anymore. He already made it.
Firstly, he is still producing the game.
Secondly, that's not how value works you fricking moron lmao
If he released DLC, fine adjust for inflation. But what effect has inflation in 2023 had on a product released years ago.
Inflation actually means that $30 is worth less.
Maybe the developer should have thought about that before choosing to exclusively accept perpetually inflating currencies as payment for the game.
Or he could just adjust the price with inflation.
>NOOO THE EXTREMELY CHEAP GAME I WASN'T GOING TO BUY IS NOW STILL EXTREMELY CHEAP NOOO

You are being the contrarian by pretending to be a Saint that think you would give things away for free and make everybody in the world happy.
Grow up, kid. Real life doesn't works that way.
No one is saying the game should be free. Are you a literal shill?

The fact this shit has been posted for days straight and there isn’t thread after thread with torrent links should wake you up to the internet we know and love is fricking dead anon.
The one yesterday had a link for a torrent. The game isn’t worth the pirate, it is the can of worms they are opening. This is horse armor all over again.
>buy game for $30
>years later dev comes knocking demanding an extra $5
how is this legal
IMO the devs have an absolutely moronic strategy for selling a game on steam. Especially one with coop. Getting my friends to buy a game to play with me is like pulling teeth unless it's on some kind of sale. People do not want to pay full price for games on steam. Now they're raising the price lol.
They probably could have sold twice as many copies if they did even 15% off a few times a year.
Factorio is a fairly niche game for autists so the devs probably think they won't sell a frickload of copies anyway, but I'm inclined to believe other indie devs will be more interested in maximizing sales and word of mouth.
the problem with being a game for turbo autists is they will 100% throw a shitfit if the game went on sale
Who says the game was ever worth $30 to begin with? The price is made up by the dev, he could have released it at $100 and lowed it to $30 the next day, he could have released it for $5 and increased the price by $5 every day forever.
The only thing that matters is if you want to play the game and if your willing to pay the current asking price. If you want it and are happy with the price buy it, if you want it and don't want to pay the asking price pirate it or don't play it. If you NEED a sale in order to by it you might have the mental development of a child.
The cuck option is to get butthurt about the price of a video game and spend your whole day seething on Ganker about it.
This.
Morons are willing to pay $40 at 50% off but will cry at a price of $30 with 0% off

This isn’t a matter if opinion you slime. You are actively making the world worse by enabling this shit. Enjoy paying 300 for the next Pokemon or paying 75 for the nes port of Donkey Kong.
What do you mean?
You can always still pirate those games, you moronic frick.
People like you are the reason we have battle passes and gatcha in full price titles.
>You are actively making the world worse
Just like the price of a video game it's all retaliative, I'm only paying a price I feel is appropriate, this is fine for me. I'm making the world worse for YOU. and that does bring me a little joy.
How are you liking renting your heated seats in “your” car? Or the subscription service to allow you to access all the horse power the engine can actually do?
I wouldn't pay for a heated seats subscription because I don't think it would be worth my money. The difference is I also don't show up to a BMW car meet with tears in my eyes screaming about it and telling them to kill themselves because I'm not a fricking child.
You should. The duel would fix a lot of societies problems fairly quickly. Why the wild west had far less homosexuals.
The only reason this is getting shit on is because it's a digital purchase, when people see a game going up in price they think of tendie games where there's not a single line of code being added to the game after release and it keeps the same price because the executives decided it and nobody actually likes that.
No shit I could buy it, I love the idea of supporting a ""infinite content"" game if I liked it, too bad the dev didn't let me know this when he is increasing the price and I'm only made aware of it after a legion of internet freaks defend the extremely poor choice of words and promotion of this price increase, if Dwarf Fortress could convince the average redditor to pay for it there's no reason why this game couldn't, it's all a matter of selling the perks of what happens when you support a game like this and not a thinly veiled "economy bad" sob story.
Didn't let you know? There's a heads-up right in the OP

Game in january 2023 will be 2x as expensive as in october 2020, when I bought it. Explain to me how is it "adjustment for inflation", ESPECIALLY when they added frick all to the game for the past 3 years?
>Explain to me how is it "adjustment for inflation"
Basically they increased the price as the value of the dollar went down. Thanks for asking.
Did the dollar lost twice of its 2020 value? That's news to me.
He sold the game for less as a perk for buying it early.
Now he has adjusted the full price for inflation, because he wants to.
>perk for buying it early
Factorio released in August 2020 on Steam (at least that's what the store page tells me).
I've bought it in October 2020 after it released on Steam. How is it "early"?
No. I've bought it normally, not in EA. There was no "perk". He's just raising the price, because he doesn't know basic economy principles and will nuke his revenue.
braindead esl.
Out of curiousity - what errors have I commited in that post for you to call me ESL?
have a nice day. There are a number of ways listed in the thread.
You never even played the game and never planned to, you're just here for the outrage points
>raise price of a game that hasn't got any content added to it since release
>game now sells way less
>less money coming into the bank
Genius.
Why the frick do you think companies put games on sales anyway?
>activision give decade old games no more than 50% off on sales
you WILL pay AT LEAST $25 for cod4 mw
your point being?
>Anime poster
>Is braindead
Change the fricking channel
Where did you find dev's bank statements?
inflation?
>bought game, felt it was worth it
>DLC announced
>see this
I will now pirate the DLC.
Why? If you want others getting the game cheaper than you just give them the money
I wonder how many extra sales they made solely due to the 24/7 threads made about this.
If I ever release a game I can only hope that I’ll be able to attract similar sound and fury.
It's not about the game itself as establishing a trend other just as moronic indie devs might follow.
>A trend of selling their games for cheap
A trend of being self inflated egotists. If the was Gone Home pulling this shit Ganker would be on a united front. It literally comes down to the fact that these autists can’t cope that their hero became a villain, like they always do.
No one would care if gone home upped their price you histrionic freak
Yes they fricking would. This whole thing is an example of no bad actions, only bad targets. Look at all the idiots screaming troon for daring to speak up about this. They see this as a continuation of a fight everybody else, including myself, had forgotten about. I don’t know why I would expect the zoomer riddled corpse of Ganker to have any standards.
Man I honestly admire how stupid people can construct fantasy worlds within their heads, the fact that they can't provide evidence doesn't bother you, you just kinda *feel* it
Not that guy but what the frick are you talking about
See
the reason Factorio popped off in the first place is resetera tried to get the dev canceled for saying something they thought was transphobic and Ganker swung in for the rescue and the dev didn’t back down. The same with Ion Fury and Ogay and Heart Beat for putting their game on sale for 41% because the hard left lesbian devs hate trannies. And yet again another person Ganker worshipped has bit them in the ass but they are afraid to fight back.
We have talked about factorio years before troony episode and will continue to do so years after
Pretty much nailed it. Glad to see schizos like
getting absolutely defensive about it.
Why are you breathing my air buddy?
That’s my line you fricking shill, have a nice day.
capitalism is a cancer
You don't even know what capitalism is.
Let me put it this way
America is cancer
Strike 2
You're going to need a widdle bit of a more complicated boogeyman champ.
WTF, he should be at least charging $50, Australia is already at 7.8% inflation.
Near bump limit, shills frick off until the next thread pops up. Just like all the others.
