The real reason cracktorio can do no sale is the same reason Minecrack can be basically no sale (same price forever) - it’s an evergreen game people will always buy at a low roar.

Most games are like DVDs or books, they frontload 90% of their total revenue in the first few months, and so sales are a way to squeeze a bit more juice out later.

While the price of Minecraft stays the same, the game never stopped evolving and getting content updates. For $30 you get a much bigger game now than fifteen years ago.
