I love that they straight up said the game won't get any big discounts in the near (~2 years) future

>Q: When is the game going on sale?

>Not soon! And not for very much discount! Bay 12 and Kitfox are going to keep working on this for ~30 years, so it doesn’t make sense to follow normal Steam discounting. For example, we might discount 10% in a couple of months, but we also might not! We certainly won’t be discounting for more than 15% for at least two years!

Same as Factorio, which also never goes on sale.

When I know a game discounts 50+% it just makes me put off buying it.


Some games are great even if they are "done" and no longer under active development. Frostpunk is a good example. When you see it on a large discount, pick it up.


I have no problem at all with both methods (a "one and done" game/movie that will sell high for awhile and then go discounted, and a "work in progress" that continues to evolve over time and never discounts) - but it is very nice to know ahead of time.


Factorio did see a sale! I believe it was just on the Switch version though.


You can get a discount on humble bundle if you’re a subscriber
