It seems when covering the latest Factorio update we missed two rather important things: The price is going to increase and it's leaving Early Access soon.
Speaking on their official site they said that the next version is likely to end up as their big "1.0" release, so they've decided that the price is going to increase from $20 to $30 on April 16th. That's not exactly a huge increase and even if they added another ten I would still say it was worth it.
There's so many reasons to love it, from the simplicity of the presentation of it, to making it as complicated as you want it to be. It doesn't have to be crazy and confusing, it's what allows me to really enjoy it every single time I play it.
I see people often say they're waiting for a game to leave Early Access to pick it up and this is a rare occasion I can safely tell you to just grab it now! It's a fantastic experience and you will end up paying more later as well. They have a strict "no sales" policy, so this is the cheapest it will be for a long time—take advantage of that.
You can pick it up on Humble Store, GOG and Steam.
