The problem with steam reviews is they are not based on region, eo now there are a lot of "sub increased 3x with no warning" reviews with no explanation that wouldnt impact anyone other than those in 2 countries. The sub also only increased if you used steam, the base sub for the game did not change on the official site .

While this does suck for those effected, a lot of those reviews are misleading. Its also not the devs fault, they are not in control of the company financing.
