Steam payment HUGE price increase!

It would be nice if some other sites discussed the issues with the game.

Anyone can keep doing it. I was one of the people who contacted Sid, and I also contacted one other journalist, but all of us can keep trying contact people.

Contact Kotaku, IGN, Polygon. Voices like Jim Sterling or communities like NeoGAF. Editors like Jason Schreier. Heck, contact FFXIV youtubers like MrHappy or Larry, or McStronghuge.
Keep commenting and spreading the word about this thread, or on the FFXIV subreddit, or Steam.

We can make Square Enix take this matter seriously.

Some people wanted a better "revolution and fight for the underdog" plot after the MSQ. Well, here you have it in real life. We can fight for better regional prices in the same molds as World of Warcraft, or LoL, or Warframe. We have to keep trying to make our voices heard, not only for the BR and RU players, but so the whole player base can benefit from this.

I don't think FFXIV youtubers will join the cause, for they risk losing the special treatment they receive(being invited to events, getting early acess to expansions, etc), but they would receive my respect if they did.

Exactly.

And basically from the moment we start always thinking "they'll never join the cause" or "these sites/journalists/youtubers will never talk about this" or "Square Enix will never listen", that means we're already losing.

Is there a minimal chance that they might hear us? Then contact them. The more people try it (*POLITELY*), the better. If it is important to us, and if the regional pricing is something that can benefit a vast part of the player base and not only BR/RU, then it's something worth fighting for.

Keep the flame and soldier on. Multiple other MMORPGs implemented these prices. FFXIV has the precedent of having one of the most dedicated fanbases worldwide, lots of them who stuck with the game through the hellhole that was 1.0. If that could be achieved, then we can achieve some victory here too. For all of us.
