I could have sworn it went on sale exactly once specifically to raise funds for something, but I can’t remember what. I assume for Ukraine, but I’m not seeing anything in their steamdb price change history, anything from their website, or any talk about a one time sale.
Comment on I've been waiting for this for a long time.
rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agoThe developer is ideologically against sales, because they believe it’s disrespectful to people who have already bought the game. Factorio has never been on sale, and will (probably) never go on sale

Steamdb steamdb.info/app/427520/ never recorded a lower price than 25 € (which is the initial price before raising it to 32 €) on Steam. Maybe such a special deal was organized outside of Steam, possibly Humble or GOG. Game is also available on Switch, but I doubt it would go on sale there. On gg.deals/game/factorio/ it lists “Official Stores low: 20,00€ Ended 7 years ago”. Weirdly the websites price history shows a lower Steam price at launch. Feb, 2016 initial price of 20 € on Humble, then shortly after on Steam. Then April 2018 on Steam first price increase to 25 €.

Oh, that sounds principled
