But SE had kept the same unchanged price for years on Steam for both Brazilian and Russian players. If they desired the pricing for us to be in tune with currency rate conversion, then perhaps they should've done that from the start.
They should have known that, by taking this route, price adjustments would be needed someday, but when it was time to finally do it, they did it in the most disrespectful and shady way possible.
Also, what people are upset about is that this very much feels like a scam, specially because it's been just a month after SB launched and on top of that both ARR and the expansions are still in the same old price on Steam. 105.99 BRL, the price for Stormblood, is roughly 34 USD. But they haven't touched that, only the subscription fee. If they want their game to follow currency conversion correctly, then why not fix those prices as well?

And this is a price change in a way because the fee remained untouched for Steam users for too long. It's not like it has been like that for a month, so we should expect price fluctuation because we're paying for something in USD when our own currency isn't USD. This was more like as if SE at first understood the economy in the countries affected and agreed to make the game more accessible, and then when it was time for adjustments (and with a terrible, terrible timing, might I add), they just ignored whatever it was they took into account when they first settled for the "fixed prices" and changed it without notice. And we weren't even worth a more thorough thinking on the pricing, either. We've been just discarded.

I understand it that they needed to make this correction, trust me, I truly do. And I believe everyone else here understands it too. But the way things were handled, silently and disregarding the players affected is what put us all off.
