I apologise. The previous pages in this thread are rather triggering. Reading all of this is indeed making me angry. I don't really mean to point fingers at others, and as I tried to tell @Sinistral, even if it doesn't apply to me, idc, i want an answer, because RU players are also affected. And I'd like any other places to have regional pricings too. In fact, I was told by an Australian dude on Tonberry that he paid much less by using Steam Wallet, and so, I thought a lot of other places would too. I even recommended some friends in other countries to buy the game through Steam to play with me, since they'll pay in their local currencies. But apparently the change was only in Russia and Brazil.

Enkrateia's reply has already confirmed that our problem is not related to Steam and that it was, indeed, SE's decision. Also Steam itself does not set prices for things. The company is responsible for the prices on its products, and Steam has nothing to do with it as long as it's getting its own profits.
The price did change. The regional prices stablished by SE itself were kept to maintain customer loyalty in countries where the currency conversion was too high for the players to follow. After all, a lower margin of profit is still better than no profit at all, or at least that's what I had been taught.
I agree adjustments were in need, but this wasn't an adjustment. This was the removal of regional pricing without a warning or a proper explanation.

Indeed it is more profit for them. And subscription isn't the only way they make money through this game. Aside from that and expansions, there are also Optional Items, which ppl buy very frequently. I'd buy them myself sometimes if I saw myself with a few extra bucks on me.
