The main Factorio dev is pretty publicly a shithead.

Perhaps even worse: Factorio has never gone on sale. They are very strongly against the idea of sales. Which like... Fine, but game value depreciates so you should at least drop the price over time. Not the case- in fact they INCREASED the price from $30 to $35 in 2023. The game came out in 2020. It's now a 5 year old 2D indie game listed at $35. Can I afford that? Yes. Am I going to buy it? No.
