For the amount of stuff you can do in the game, $40 for a game like this is a steal. $30 is even more of a steal. Especially when most high-end games will cost ya $60-$70. The argument of expensive vs fun sides makes no sense either. Do you expect this massive game to only be worth $10-$20?

@JustinSIsTank not necessarly scummy. If you place something on any shop they have a say on how to market that product. So Steam includes games into summersale, black week, holidays etc. and places them or even advertises them accordingly. You can't really change your price once you as a publisher have ordered or agreed to Steam to do their job. So it's kind of obvious why the price change is right in between summer sales and 1.0 release. Likewise Snutt wont know or is legally not allowed to say anything depending on if he is negotiating with Steam or not. You are not allowed to talk about unsigned deals in most countries.

$39.99!? Thats a bargain at twice the price

The Steam rule referenced is of course the False Advertising rule that a lot of countries have to protect consumers. Anytime you increase the price of a product on Steam, the price is locked for 30 days before it can be discounted. In order for Coffee Stain to have a launch week sale when 1.0 releases, they need to increase the price of Satisfactory a minimum of 30 days before the release. With the price increase going into affect July 11 or shortly there after, the soonest Satisfactory 1.0 can be release and have a launch week sale is August 8th. I suspect a mid to late August / early September release date based on the price increase / launch week sale scenario.

"We're going to raise the price by $10, but before we do, we're going to practically give it away for the absolute _steal_ of a price of $15." I see this as an absolute win tbh.

“And we’re going to release a video on our YT channel to let everyone know they can rob us blind right now before the price hike kicks in.” Actual chad behavior.

Given the rules for making discounts require the higher price for 30days+, I'm reading the tease at the end as "we will be having a discount on 1.0 release, but at least 30 days before we need to have the higher price" so I'm going to say in 44 days time (11th August) is their current planned release date.

Well.... After buying this game 820 ingame hours ago in a sale I feel kind of bad for not having paid the full price^^. You deserve every cent you get and then some for this insanely good game :) Can't wait for the news and the release.

I've played $70 games that I didn't even enjoy half as much as my time with Satisfactory. This price bump is totally earned, especially considering how vastly different the 2024 experience is compared to 2019. I really wish more studios could be like Coffee Stain.
