So? We had no explanation too, so why should we care to explain things in our reviews?

Better to be constructive with your criticism, without context and clarity a lot of the steam reviews I've read come off as whining. If someone came along interested in playing and noticed a ton of negative reviews without substance do you really think they'd give those reviews any worth?

The sub also only increased if you used steam, the base sub for the game did not change on the official site .

While this does suck for those effected, a lot of those reviews are misleading. Its also not the devs fault, they are not in control of the company financing.

Exactly this!!! Which is why it seems like a hateful revenge campaign instead of being a case of making your voices heard about this (truly!) unfair event. You were treated unfairly as customers, you should make a noice about it here on the forums and contact customer service and media and everything, but a misleading revenge campaign is not a great way to go on about it.

I would just recommend to make screenshots of this topic, in case if SE will just delete the whole thread.
No thread - no problem?~

This is not a problem; it is the entire point.

Whether or not the problem currently affects you is neither here nor there; it speaks to the behavior of the company. The Devs are not separate from the company; the company contains the devs and the people who charge the money. Yoshi-p isn't your friend anymore than anyone else there is. The end goal in all cases is money.

Internet archives

SE deletes it? No problem. We can keep an archive of it here.

But it's not misleading at all because, as a subscription based game, SE is selling service. And people are frustrated with the service, you can't take it apart from the game if it is ruining your experience.

It is somehwat misleading, the official sub price from the games account management service never changed. Only the price on a 3rd party platform, and only in 2 countries.

Welp, they technically can do they same thing by adjusting Dolar to Yen at some point in time. So it somehow works to warn people about this.

And the world could end tonight at the push of a button. Fear mongering is bad.

No where else did Steam have special pricing for the games sub, only in 2 countries. It was only adjusted in those 2 countries to match the sub price IN THOSE COUNTRIES on the official site. This is nothing like them adjusting pricing everywhere. That is what is misleading.
