Steam payment HUGE price increase!

[Jaibamon]

I am from Mexico, and I have always paid 13 USD either from Steam or from the Mog Station. Since the Mexican currency has been declining since the last year, I have to pay more for my monthy subscription; and while I would like to SE to reduce the cost of my sub, I perfectly understand if they don't want to. After all, 13 USD for everyone seems fair.

In other words: blame our third-world countries.

I'm curious is it the price or the exchange rate that has changed?

It's seems some countries were paying a set price rather then paying 13.99 USD converted to local currency on steam and SE decided to change it to what it should be.

I'm in the USA so I've never been aware of this problem. I kind of assumed everyone paid in USD because that currency is relatively stable in value and inflation is pretty low (which is important to a company of course).

I wonder if this was on purpose or not. Seems like it must be a mistake if there was no announcement attached. AFAIK the BRL hasn't suddenly tanked in value or anything (in fact it looks like it's gone up in value since a couple of years ago).

That's why we all want some kind of statement. If this was planned, then why the price of auto renewal subscription has not changed?

I would blame Trump for this!

Greetings, everyone!

Because this is a topic that is directly concerning to these customers, I do not want to have to close down this thread. However, the discussion should likely focus around the change in price, instead of more subjective terms like "fairness" and "entitlement", since those discussions can be very inflammatory. I have already removed some posts for crossing that line, and would prefer this discussion remain open to provide feedback and dialogue instead of needing to be closed because it is inflammatory.

I will work on trying to get more information about the changes in prices, so you can be more informed in the process. I can confirm that the prices have changed for some of our customers. If you feel that the change is incorrect, please feel free to respond, and I'll make sure it's looked into.

Thank you for your cooperation, understanding, and patience.

Thank You!
Can you confirm the new prices for BRL for standard subscription (14,99 USD) to be 47,00 BRL via Steam Wallet(Brazil)? Before today it was 32BRL
I mean, here in Brazil, a lot of people plays via steam because the USD-BRL ratio there make the subscription cheaper and closer to our reality.

I really hope this is some sort of mistake, the price paid through Steam was the only reason me and some of my friends acquired this game back in 2014 and got all the expansions 'till SB. There should have been some sort of notice in advance before any changes, plus 42 BRL (entry) per month for a game which we also purchased? 29 BRL already hurted but I could manage by sacrificing a few things here and there, this new value though...
