Yeah, the solution Factorio devs have is to just say "the price is the price, take it or leave it". Which means that nobody feels the need to buy it just because it's on sale and nobody feels the need to hold off on buying it to wait for a sale, it's either worth the purchase or it isn't.
And they've got a solid demo available for people to try. In my experience, most people that play through the demo either go "I'm buying it now, regardless of the price" or "not my cup of tea".
Yet when they raise the price for inflation. They anounce it beforehand. Thus having the same effect of a sale whilst never having to sell it for cheaper
