Factorio, the factory base building strategy game from developer Wube Software, is permanently becoming more expensive next week. Starting January 26, the base price will be increased from $30 to $35. According to the studio, the decision is to account for inflation.

Read moreOklahoma Sports Wagering Bill Rejected In State Senate; Author To Try Again Next Year

Reason for rejection:
