(But it’s also heavily on sale right now, for $15 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/526870/Satisfactory/)
Personally, I don’t mind at all. For one I bought it at $30, but also I have 2,000 hours logged. Per hour that’s a cost of $0.02 per hour (at the new price) if I had bought it at $40. I’m all for calling out studios like ubisoft for being greedy, but coffee stain has done a very fair job with Satisfactory IMO, and they very well deserve $10 more for the game.
That being said, go pick it up now for $15
I’ve owned it for a while, I think I just hit 1000 hours in game.
I’m excited to see what 1.0 brings.
There’s an interesting theory going around that the steam rules that they have to abide by are surrounding sales. You can’t put a game on sale immediately following a price change like they’re doing, you have to wait something like 30 days. So it might be that they wanted to do a release sale, and this is a good opportunity for them to get the price change done in advance of the launch sale.
This implies that 1.0 is coming within a few months. I want to believe the rumors, but I’ve waited so long for 1.0, that I am very hesitant to get my hopes up.
I heard that, Snut was also very cagey on why they had to do a specific sale and how it was working. I think we’re getting very close to the full release…
Unrelated, do you know of any good multiplayer groups for satisfactory?
I’ve been looking to join some experienced people. I dunno if any such groups exist.
Personally, no. But, you can make a post asking! I’m sure there are people here who know of groups or are looking themselves!
