minus-squareVal@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·26 days agoWube (creators of Factorio) have the best customer policy in game development. Don’t go on sale so you will always pay the cheapest price. if you have the game on steam you can download a DRM-free version directly from their website. (alongside all old versions) Encourage the community to create mods, host your own mod portal accessible inside the game. Make a good game. Be open about game development through monthly blog posts. The only way I would like it more is if the game was open source but since that’s impossible to sell I will take this.
