If wages are stagnant like they have been for a while (at least in USA), money has less purchasing power and people have less savings/spending money. So I wouldn’t call that fair, or at least not the in the sense that “we’re just adjusting it”. Raising the price in situations like this is squeezing the customers, and I doubt most prices hikes with successful things are just to keep the lights on.
I think this was my main problem with the reasoning being inflation. Everyone focusing on the value of the game itself. My problem is when someone blames something on inflation I think everything goes up in price except my wages lol.

But that’s not the factorio developers problem, that’s your governments problem. So it’s a bit unfair IMO to assign the ‘blame’ to them.
He didn’t assign the blame for his wages not increasing to Factorio, though.
That’s not quite what I meant, I meant blame assigned for them increasing their price.
The devs aren’t exactly billionaires either, I’m sure their groceries went up as well.
