5€ for this crap?

[CeLaRox]

Here on Steam are many better free Idle games with unbelivible more content, so why isn't this crap than F2P?

Unfortunately, not every developer has the luxury of releasing their product at a lower price point. It sounds like you liked it enough to keep playing and didn't like it enough to pay for it. That's entirely fair.

No reason to attack the product for offering less than you hoped. Just come back in a few months and see if any content has been added that justifies the price.

I think there's a ton of content. There was a ton of content for free demo and even more a ton of content for $5. I thought it was gonna be $10 tbh and I would of happily paid for it. It's a pretty complex game I think. Much more complex than the other idle games out there which are either just clickers or idlers mostly. This one actually makes you think. I bet you didn't even pay for it to even know what it is. Just assumed but never buy anything in ur life, cuz maybe u don't even have $5 lol.

I'm a fan of Factory Town and when I heard that it was coming as an idle I was very excited.
I don't see Factory Town Idle as classic idle. For me it is a building simulation in a minimalist style. The dullness of many idle games doesn't come into play here either.
All in all a good game.
You had the opportunity to test the game extensively with the free demo.
If you don't have or don't want to spend that $5. Nobody forces them. The developer made them an offer. You decide whether you want to accept it or not.
There's nothing more to say about that.
By the way, many idle games for stupid things are free. Have fun with it.

Or... It's priced perfectly fine. Most of the "free" idle games are complete trash. They're playable for about 1-6 hours and you hit a brickwall of progress that "IF YOU GIBS US REL MONEYS U CAN SPED UP UR PROGRES!!!" That's why most of the free trash is "free". If that's your jam, go for it. But don't roll in and cry about the price on a game just because "da free gaems duz beterz!" (they rarely do)

Passion is true, be cause this game is made like: Hey we need an Idle game in franchise, but we don't have a plan how this works, just put some rubbish together, write Idle on it and than let the fanbays pay for this crap.

No passion, no skill, no love....

And "Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms" is also singel player and no multiplayer, there we see you have no idea about it... but here are thousends of more passioned set up Idle games for free.... so you don't have to pay for rubbish...

Not sure, why you fell in love with that other game. These are different genres. You compare a game, where you do 5 clicks / hour and hope for rng in loot boxes with a game where you can actually play during that time. It's like comparing a shooter with a train simulator.

I'm glad that there is no ingame shop with premium currency. I'm feeling sorry for you that you cannot affort 5€ for a game which might net you 16+hours of fun. Btw. if you don't like it, you can still refund the game after 1hour 59 minutes of playing it (fun fact it works for every game except for those with cash grabing dlc loot boxes).

Well i played thru some of the demo and when my social security comes next month i will buy the full version and support the developer.

If you have so much money, maybe you should spend some of it on classes to improve your social skills. Asking someone to do something for free is plain rude. No one is going to take you seriously with that attitude.
But hey, if you're so keen on giving things away for free, why not give something to charity. Balance your karma out.

Imagine being such a salty person that you wake up in the morning and post something like this.

Never asking to make F2P but more than 0.99€ is this game not worth....

If you want more money for a game than its worth and someone telling that it is overpriced by factor 500 than it has nothing to do with salty... grow up kids.

Given the time I spend in this game managing the towns I think the game is worth more than 5€

Well, if there are enough people willing to pay for it, it will be sold at that price, and I'm not talking about the most effective pricing strategy. I'm just talking about what the dev believes is the correct price people will pay for it; usually indie devs aren't maximising profit.

Is the game crap for the price, maby? It is very subjective, though there is some objectivity to it, but not every person falls into that "objectivity", and the people who don't will complain. What I can tell you is that a majority of players are seemingly satisfied according to reviews, which is what matters, and because you're seemingly a minority, you're unlikely to change anything. Of course, you can still try, but I've rarely seen one of these threads change the price of the game, and even in the cases I've seen that did succeed, it's usually a very minor change. So your expectation of at least 0.99€ is incredibly improbable, and then there's the whole complaint and reputation damage that happens when the price of a game is lowered permanently. It's unlikely that changing it by a significant amount won't make people complain; the dev can't do anything that would satisfy people with your complaint as well as the people who previously purchased the game. Even if the dev could do refunds, it would reduce the damage, but let's be real here: once you damage reputation, you can only do damage control; you can't revert it all.

To me, it seems like the dev only has things to lose if they go along with your suggestion.

Similar things could be said about most EA products. If you don't want to support this that's you're decision, but no need to come here with this obvious bait. A bit more constructive criticism would be infinitely more helpful.
