    TBF, if standard inflation is continuing more or less steadily, $60 in 4020 money should be just about free.

    It pisses me off Nintendo is allowed to sell handheld computers with their operating system so locked down they become junk in only a handful of years.

          the tl;dr (or perhaps: too ideological; don’t care) is yes they are reposting bots, doing what they do because they feel like lemmy.ml is a shit community run by bad people (they’re maybe not completely wrong) and their purpose is to copy all useful content off lemmy.ml communities into other communities because they would like to see a world where everyone can defederate lemmy.ml and nothing of value is lost.

          And you posted to Gaming@lemmy.ml so they reposted your comment here.

            That’s an interesting crusade to wage, I never would have learned about this at all if not for your comment.

              That’s totally fair, and that’s why bots like these exist I guess. For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t have seen this if the bot hadn’t reposted it, so, everything is working as intended, great success!

    factorio’s “never go on sale” philosophy will never outlast my “never pay full price” philosophy.

    they could easily make $30 from me, but they choose $0 instead. no sweat off my sack

      I’m willing to support a game that literally set the bar for quality of software development. Their dev logs alone were worth the price.

          why are you getting downvotes? i didn’t even have any idea about any of that. now i won’t buy the game for $0.01–fuck that shit. i guess i’ll never understand the mindless blind devotion fanbois have for the objects of their affection, regardless of how shitty those people are

            Ah man that sucks, I didn’t know either. Tbh I had a looming feeling that at least one dev of this very intricate and passionate eastern indie game would be bound to have weird to despicable views on something.

      They make $++ from the “really into it” crowd, so they’re ok making $0 from you and the “mildly interested” crowd. No sweat off their sack.
