I just think its very strange that only entry subscription price has been adjusted. Also now its one and only steam purchase in Euro not Rubles in entire russian Steam shop, at least i never saw another.

Dude, what if u wake up tomorrow and your sub goes up with no warning? Start placing yourself on other's shoes, cmon. I could be paying 200 USD for this idc, but they didn't warn us that's all. How hard is it to understand?

OK English lesson now. Recurring means repeating or occur again. The sub has to be repeated in order to continue playing, hence recurring. The ToS itself also mentions you need a recurring sub to keep playing, so how am I playing if it's not a recurring sub.?That would only apply, if anything, to 60 days game time card. Those are the One Time only subscriptions.

One is recurring in the system and the other is recurring in your own end, if you are going to try to bend terms to favor you at least put some more effort.
The exact definition means nothing without the proper context to apply.

Not that i have anything against you, but bending terms to fulfill your agenda irks me for some reason.

Idk many ppl who make that much money a month. That's more like a whole family's income, assuming the parents and owner or two sons work and have a decent salary

I'm not bending anything. They say u need a recurring sub to pay. So explain that. Also the EU terms don't even mention the word recurring. So no I don't see your point there.

Because there's some kind of contract involved with changing the price for the other ones that they can't just do a facepull on.

It's all about context here, doing one time payment during a period of time is recurring on your end. Setting a sub plan is recurring on the system and falls under the "recurring fee".

If you're from brazil the EU tos doesnt apply to you, it has nothing to do with your problem or anything. If you're russian then due to how it's written you can still salvage something and take legal action if you want.

A recurring payment links your card and is always the same amount, and does not allow Steam Wallet to integrate itself, so your Steam Wallet funds can't go towards your subscription. But with one time payments, people can resell Steam cards and get funds into their Steam Wallets and then use that money to pay for game time. In other words, if they sell enough of cards via Steam, they can get free monthly game time. Now that the prices for that are higher, people are angry as it's harder to get free or even cheaper game time.

Seriously? Is that what you're gonna say? Why can't you just ask for fairness for all countries, instead of whining that you didn't get lower prices before?
It's like you're just below the age to play ffxiv and is blaming the sibling for something u did. Jeez

Also excuse me? I use steam wallet. I always have. Unless he doesn't have a credit card that is accepted on steam. But even then he can buy steam gift cards and top up the wallet.
