I had the exact same question, thanks for posting it. My issue is that 15 years of using Steam have taught me to almost never buy a game unless it's on sale, and Factorio doesn't go on sale. I get they're taking some sort of principled stand or whatever, but honestly I am way more likely to buy a game listed for $40 that's "on sale" for $30 than one that's just $30. Hell I'm probably more likely to buy the game "on sale" for $32 or $33. Obviously this is a stupid psychological trick and I recognize I'm falling for it, but it definitely happens to me, at least where Steam is concerned.
