I wish games would host their own downloads like Factorio. Managing keys and such is probably not worth it since they can use Steam, GOG, or even Itch, buts it’s just so nice to be able to download stuff without a middle man.

I’m just glad I only play 2 games instead of the hundreds I’m reading about in these comments. I didn’t even know that was a thing people did!

Factorio devs are goated for their no-bullshit, high-quality product. I make damn sure I have a recent copy secured on my server, just in case. Inspirational humans like this keep me from the doldrums.

  You might wanna reconsider that gushing praise. The Factorio dev is a screaming bigot with a long history of sexism, homophobia, and racism. And, when this is mentioned, complaining about “cancel culture”.

I don’t play hundreds, but I do play dozens, and yeah, being able to just set 5 or so to download in the background when I’m running low is nice. I mostly play through single player games and uninstall when I’m done.

That said, I also really like how Factorio did it. I bought it directly from them way back in 2012 or something, then they gave me a Steam key, and I can still play the game today with all the updates more than 10 years later. They only made one DLC in the meantime, and that’s basically a new game, so I’m totally happy with that.
