Steam payment HUGE price increase!

It seems that people dont understand the difference between something being fair and it being equal. Here in Germany people that have a higher income will pay a higher income tax on it and people that only earn a certain amount of money per year (around max. 8800 € per year) wont have to pay any income tax. This is fair. If everyone needs to pay the same amount of taxes in percent than this would not be fair but equal to all. But something being equal is not always the good decision.

So this situation itself might make everyone equal but its far away from being fair.

Also most people are angry because there was simply no communication about this. This is the main problem. Even if it was not against the ToS (through some kind of loophole) its still a bad practice. The reputation and good will of a company is really important today and things like that can destroy a reputation which is not easily reclaimed. And a bad reputation can even ruin a company.

Like I already posted, this decision (even if I am not hit by it because I live in Germany) left me really disgusted about SE, so I will refrain from buying items from them again (Mog station, merchandise), I will not recommend this game to anyone anymore and I might not even buy any other games from SE again..dont want to finance a company that makes so many greedy decisions and that even after it is known, still chose to ignore it..

The player base in these two countries might be small but they are still paying customers..this and the horrible handling of the EU campaigns show that the company itself does not respect their customer, only their money.
