With the recent announcement that indie game developer Zachtronics are developing their last ever videogame (Last Call BBS, to be released on July 5th 2022), I browsed their existing catalogue of games, and most of them are currently on sale at GOG:

The only other storefront that have Zachtronics games on sale, is on Fanatical as at this time. Steam and other storefronts' listings of Zachtronics games are at full price.
ITAD says that many of these GOG sale discount rates are matching historic low discounts on GOG.

  Have you played Satisfactory / Factorio / Dyson Sphere Program? If so, how does it compare?

    No I haven't sorry.

      Damn. They really set the bar high so not sure if I'd grab Infinifactory then - might leave me feeling disappointed.

    Infinifactory is more of a puzzle game than the other ones you mention. Each level, you're given a set of materials to work with along with whatever type of factory blocks you've unlocked so far, and have to figure out how to make an automated assembly line to process them into a specific product. Contrary to what you'd expect from other puzzle games, solutions are very open ended to solve and can be as convoluted or as elegant as you like - just needs some spatial thinking to figure out how to complete them. 56 highly varied levels that have a bit of a story to it, and can highly recommend as well.

Turns out Last Call BBS might be included on Game Pass PC at release??

I dunno if this XGP Steam Curator is legit, but it's noted here being added on the 5th July
