Steam payment HUGE price increase!

You're comparing licensing on full games which lose cost over time vs a subscription that retains value as long as the publisher decides it does.


Full games and their DLC lose value and appeal over time, which leads to services like steam, gog, humble bundle, etc. to offer promos on them due to striking licensing agreements with publishers.


This is basically comparing apples vs oranges.

We pay less for subiscription too like WOW: USD 7,50 in Brazil.

That is decided by Blizzard as a company. It's not a requirement of a company to do so. They can decide if they want to make the game appealing to the market they want to reach. Blizzard likely saw a growing market in Brazil and decided to make the game accessible to the region. SE can do the same, but it doesn't mean it has to.

Just ignore that troll, he will eventually go away if you don't feed him, let's keep the focus!

Having a conversation about different points of view to an issue is considered being a troll? TIL alright.

Which leads us to the question in this thread: Why has it changed after 2+ years? It's not something new this price. Why are you questioning these things? We don't know if this was a decision from SE. My god lol
