Steam payment HUGE price increase!

Russian playerbase annihilated. I don't know if increased sub price for remaining players will cover sub losses from all players who are not able to pay anymore. If Russians are going to pay now like everybody else, they should at least have the same salaries like everybody else first.

It seems like increased subscription price won't compensate for playerbase loss. Let's take our static for example. We agreed on continuing playing FFXIV for 2-3 month more because some of us have already payed for it in advance. After that we'll probably move to another game or maybe even stop playing MMOs for some time (it's difficult to invest lots of time in one game and be treated like garbage; some of us will need time to recover).

Some Russian players will stay because they pay full price already. They are mostly legacy players or those who started playing before FFXIV became available in Steam. But SE won't get any additional profit from them.

Anyways, SE profits is not my concern. They made their move, we draw a conclusion.
