I really wish more indies could take on the no-sales policy. It'd give me tons more peace of mind to buy a game when I actually want to play it, rather than always waiting and doing weird backlog hoarding when Valve decide it's wallet-opening-time.

But as the video shows, the policy was a risk for Wube even back in the day -- it's an even bigger risk now that everyone and their dog expects to wait for the sale, and especially if you happen to have a game that's not quite as incredibly popular as Factorio.

They should do an April fools’ sale where they reduce the price by 1 cent

It's not exactly the same thing, but itch.io allow developers to have a "reverse sale", where the price goes up for a given period. It was mostly a joke feature, perhaps intended to provoke a little thought about sales culture.

How is this an unlisted video with some 250 views that seems like a high quality production on a channel with 1.2 million subscribers?

Maybe a leaked YouTube link from their Patreon?

I did not think that through.

Oh well, exclusive Lemmy access promo I guess. I'll throw the Escapist an extra $10 on their next donation-enabled stream as an apology.
