For me, the most interesting point was the short mention of open sourcing Factorio (around 2:40). Kovarex seems to be very much open to the idea, he mentions that (as an approximation) maybe two years after the DLC after things calm down ...

I'm feelin' the love. Opening the game to modding to the degree they already have has lengthened the life span of this game for ~~weeks~~ months of additional play time. Making it open source would make it immortal.
