So I’ve been seeing a lot of Factorio in my popular feed on Reddit. This prompted me to check Steam for the current price and state of the game. I don’t really save any money for games, so I just wish-listed it a while ago and waiting for a new sale to come around to buy it. Then I remembered that I purchased it a very long time ago already. I went to the Factorio website to see if I could still log in. Lo and behold: After a password reset through my old e-mail, I was still eligible to download the game, even though it’s been a decade! It honestly surprised me, because in the past I had to purchase Minecraft and a few EA games again since they couldn’t verify that I purchased their games, even though I logged in with the same account.

So, just a massive shout out to Wube Software and their record keeping. Loved the game a decade ago, and I’ll probably fall in love with it again. It seems I have some catching up to do and making the factory grow once more.

P.s. Apologies if this post is not allowed or the wrong flair is used. And for accidentally deleting my previous post. Just wanted to show my appreciation.
