Steam payment HUGE price increase!

How would you like the end of PS3 support done this style? Everything is nice and calm until 4.05, but then you download the patch and suddenly you have to buy PS4. Cannot afford it? Wouldn't have bought Stormblood if you knew about it beforhand? Who cares!

You are, yes. Let me explain this to you really simply. Tomorrow when you decide to pay your sub, you suddenly discover that it costs you 35$ instead of 15$. What's the big deal, it's just 20$ more, who cares!

They do not understand this, they need to raise prices three times, as they did for Russian players, let all increase the subscription price by 300%, then it will be interesting to see ....

As you argue, comparing the prices for one and the support of other platforms is different, let's not argue! Nobody needs it!

That would mean they will close the game as it would go from 15 $ to 45 $.
Sorry to hear that this happened to you guys, but others which pay the full price in Euro or dollars even thou are not paid in the same coin will play the same amount ( which is in my case 13 euro regardless of market fluctuations to exchange rates).
Now , some of us understand that it's not pretty when something discriminatory positive is taken away (as this is what is ) , but also try to understand that until a formal answer from SE side is received all this talk is irrelevant and without any surprise will attract negative backlash from the other player communities .
Regardless of the above said, I hope this is cleared it up soon and everything will go into the normal flow .

@Niqote that is steam business plan for regions which don't have the gdp on par with other western countries and there is no reason to go aggressive towards the players + awesome signature , really gains/retains attention.
Still, I find it very curious that in 48h there is no official answer from either Steam or SE....
