I played the free demo of Factorio for about 10 hours and got hooked. Waited a bit to see if the price would go down, but it didn't and I didn't care. Bought it at full price and sunk a few hundred hours into it, which is some of the best entertainment ROI from a cost/hours perspective. It turned out to be a bad ROI from a general life perspective since I didn't do much else during that time, so be careful to not get too addicted.

FYI, the Factorio devs have stated that the game will never go on sale

Which is fine be me. First the game receives constant updates to this day. Second they're asking reasonable price to start with. Third the amount of content...

Just a warning, the big factorio 2.0 update and space age dlc are coming out on October 21st. My supervisor is taking the whole week off for it

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't have any plans for the next month anyway.
