For me, the most interesting point was the short mention of open sourcing Factorio (around 2:40). Kovarex seems to be very much open to the idea, he mentions that (as an approximation) maybe two years after the DLC after things calm down ...

(Hope this is not much of a titlegore)

Is anyone even still buying Factorio? I was under the impression anybody who could possibly be interested in it already owns it. It's also quite cheap.

It looks like they are still selling almost 7000 copies per week !

The DLC launches next month, so it has seen a surge of renewed interest. And once the DLC lands, it’ll likely get a surge of new players from being on the store page again.
