Then against the Factorio devs publicly said they much prefer that you pirate the game over using a shady grey market key seller…
And when you set up a multiplayer server there’s even a checkbox to choose whether it should validate that players have a user account… Untick that and you can play with anyone who pirated the game.
To me it’s a pretty clear from the devs message: If you want the game, and want to support the developers, and can afford it, you buy it at full price. If you don’t want to support the devs or can’t afford it, but still want to play, you pirate it. And they even have a free demo, so you can try the game before making your purchasing decisions.
Damn you factorío
