For anyone similarly confused by the "it," the Aug 6 one was Wilmot's and not Factorio (which, AFAIK, has not been a participant in any giveaway)

  Factorio doesn't go on sale. The author's reasoning being it's disrespectful to those who paid full price for it. Edit: official forum link stating thus: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=159626#p159626 https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=159626#p159626

    I'm sorry, you're right, I misread https://isthereanydeal.com/game/factorio/info/ https://isthereanydeal.com/game/factorio/info/ without checking https://isthereanydeal.com/game/factorio/history/ https://isthereanydeal.com/game/factorio/history/ which shows it was cheaper but only goes up over time

      No worries. It's an interesting moral stand for the author to take, so it's one of those random facts that just sticks out of my brain.

        I can certainly say I'm an example of someone who hasn't bought it because it hasn't been on sale, but 50 dollars for a good game is entirely reasonable anyway and I admit I will probably still buy it one day.

    It's funny I came across this thread. Just yesterday I was looking at buying it, but it's 50 AUD. I went to add it to my wishlist to wait for a sale, but it was already there. I realised it must have been on there for a long time. I was wondering if I somehow missed it going on sale, or it never had. Glad I know it isn't likely to any time soon.

      Yeah, it stings. I did buy 2 copies on launch day for myself and my son (8) though. We have spent a lot of time on Factorio together though and I prefer it much more than Minecraft (although we have probably clocked up many many more hours on that).
