I'm have more admiration for the fact that they don't have sales. The only way to get a discount is to use a third party discount system like humble monthly.
- klohto 7y agoAlmost all indie devs don't have sale department (or people)
- Dragonai 7y agoBy "don't have sales" maushu meant the company doesn't run discounts on the game :)
- dx87 7y agoThey mean sales, like a 50% off discount, not a sales team.
- simonebrunozzi 7y agoThis is a fun example of language differences. Here's English to Italian: Sale (people selling stuff): "forza vendite" sale (discount): "sconto" Also, not related, but another interesting example: "free" (open): "aperto" "free" (price is zero): "gratuito", "gratis" Doesn't mean that Italian is superior to English. Simply means that in certain languages, words are ambiguous where in others they are not.
- mjevans 7y agoFactorio also isn't over-priced to give something to cut sales from. It launched at a good price for the game and hasn't looked back.
