Unless it was a recent change factorio doesn’t “require” a account. When I host my server I disable verification and my friends who still haven’t bought it are able to join no problems. If server has verification on then they can’t.

To download mods from their website, you do need an account linked to the client, this meme is not about joining servers

Sorry that the developers don’t cater to making life easier for people that haven’t bought their game lmao what an entitled take

What is it exactly? Some kind of developer mode to bypass the login screen?

If there is any game you legit shouldn’t pirate if possible, Factorio is one of them. Wube is one of the most based small independent developers out there, their code quality, optimization and game design is second to none, they have a super active community that the developers themsleves often participate in, and their game is very reasonably priced for the thousands of hours you can dump into it. The account requirement for the official mod portal is maybe the only slightly anti-user thing they’ve done.

Oh noo, your still working 3rd party mod downloader makes you enter in mods one at a time instead of grabbing a whole mod pack?

No offense, but I think this is a personal skill issue. If it were any other company doing it sure, but don’t take Wube to task over it just because you’re mad it takes an extra 5min to install a large mod pack via a 3rd party loader that I’m sure they’ve intentionally not blocked.
