It's not Valve that makes the decision, check how many times Factorio was on sale.

    I respect their integrity.

    Yep. In the case of Factorio, for now at least, it's evergreen. It's priced cheaper than it probably could be honestly and it'll only get better. Likely anyone not interested with the current price tag isn't interested at all. Not going on sale means you never feel the need to wait for a sale. You just buy it when you want to.

    Same thing with RimWorld. They only go down like 10% because they want players who want the game for what it is, not just a cheap bargain. I respect it. A lot of love put into that game.

    Even though I bought the expansion and haven't even played a single second of it yet (factorio burn out is real). It's still the cheapest game I've ever legally acquired in terms of £/s

    I never agree with the $/time metric being used, but it is the easiest. I prefer (enjoyment/time)/$. If a game drags itself out just to keep me playing, I don't value that.

    With that said, Factorio is great for this too. Even with the current price (which is not the price I paid), it's an amazing value. Once you consider the mods that are available, it's easily worth the price.
