Steam payment HUGE price increase!

[Marrodin]

To understand the solvency, you need to analyze the levels of the minimum wage.
For the USA ~ 1300 USD a month
For Russia ~ 200 USD a month.
Now calculate how much in percentage a person spends on the game in their country. Subscription $ 14.99
For the USA - 1.15%
For Russia -7.5% (before the price change - 2.5%)
This clearly shows why people are so outraged by the price change.

This change brings everyone to the same level.

When do the official Brazilian and Russian sub forums, data centers, customer support centers, localizations, dubs, community events, and websites become available now that "everyone is on the same level"?

Why would they be able to pay less than me, when we're in the same boat?

Most likely, the currency of your country is even more unstable than in Russia and Brazil. Therefore, on Steam you do not have regional prices. But everyone is waiting for comments from SE about the current situation, after which the players decide what to do next.

Don't forget to mention that we can't participate in some game contests, because they are exclusive to NA. :v

There's only 4 different localisations for the game and many, many countries that are paying the same sub fee without getting one. Or do you think the whole Europe speaks English, German or French?

Okay, once again:

Equal subscription price is fair. Not having any notification before stormblood release about rasing the price is not fair.

A lot of ppl bought new expansion and now it's just thrown out money, because they can't play FFXIV anymore.

Prices are fair. Changing it without any prior notification is poor communication. Setting the price to be relative to your income is rubbish. Talk to me about price fairness when you have to pay the same amount I have to pay for my daily necessities.


And this is a Steam issue, not a SE issue. Go ask Steam for the reason. If you ask SE, they will still have to ask Steam and then relay the message anyway.

Earlier posts say steams response was this was not done by them but by SE.

I see many do not understand what is happening? Who among you began to whine that in other countries they pay less in their opinion! Now they have leveled prices despite the standard of living and the level of wages in the countries in the world, so let's: we will have gasoline for you $ 150 per barrel, and in rubles it will cost $ 50 .... then in Russia they will consider what is better Sell for 150 dollars in your opinion? Do not you think that you are insolent to climb with your income to other countries?
If I pay in rubles, then the level of wages in rubles, now according to your taking into account the euro, I have to pay 20% of my salary? Are you kidding me? Just take and raise the price of 300% of the subscription and everything else that is in the store SE ....
Three years did not change the price, then suddenly they took and raised, it looks like some sort of divorce!
PS. Appeal to other players living in other regions, how would you react if your prices were raised by 300%?

Your policy is to equate others for miserable people, why did you come here to say that you are paying more in your country?

SE released FF14 in Steam to attract new players from different regions and in these regions publishers set a price based on the average income of the region. I buy everything in Steam cheaper than you. Live with it.
