Steam payment HUGE price increase!

[AsmodeusML]

I agree they should of posted to say there prices would be corrected before implementation. But I can't agree that the price increase shouldn't of happened.

In that case you are free to hold grudges and accuse brits of the exact same thing. They are paying less than you are and SE didn't "adjust" that

Funnily enough, I do think us Brits should be paying a lot more. Unlike BR/RU, we are a rich country. We could realistically afford to pay £25/mth for the Entry level subscription and £37.50/mth for the Standard subscription, and make it £12.50/mth per extra retainer. Plus, with Brexit looming and how it seems to be affecting our currency, it would put us more closely matched to the dollar I believe.

Once more, we are not complaining about the price increase, but the way they did it, with no warning.
They have their rights to increase it at anytime, but we DESERVE to know when it will happen, so we can adjust to the situation.

Imagine if you save your money to pay your bills and when you see the price 2~3x more than what you saved and you're like "Holy fish molly, what the .... just happen?". That's how we feel.

hmmm I just said the same thing in the first line of the quote.

You are correct that is the case now. But I thought I had read in the past that UK actually paid more for the game and sub fees pre brexit announcement. I know there has been complaints on the conversion price of the game.

Oh, stop doing what exactly? Giving dissatisfaction about shady and semi-legal billing moves from SE? Also since this thread has reached over 100 pages already and all we got was 1 moderator post, SE clearly isn't interested in quelling the situation so i don't think people should stop

The main problem of this thread is that it turned into a 100-page bickering between Russians, Brazilians, Europeans and Americans, where first two try to prove their right to a regional price and try to explain for what this regional price is exist, while the latter spit poison that we do not have this right and must pay the same amount how pay they are. I'm talking about this. Where in this topic appeal to the developers? To the moderator? On the first pages? Two or three messages between disputes? WHERE? I see here only absolutely stupidly dispute.

Honestly, this topic is a pain for Square, they are refusing to give a proper response, as was shown that there isn't a single global price.

Most of the dispute is caused by people not reading the previous posts and repeating the same arguments, even when some people already did some profound research to explain some arguments, and disprove others

Sadly this is a 100 page thread, unless you have been here for some time there is no way to know the full extent of the discussion.

I'm starting to consider linking some stuff in my signature to make things easier. Cheaper price in the UK, explanation on regional pricing, estimate of the upkeep costs, how steam makes the conversion, the EU ToS explanation of why Square should have notified before and what they are basing to remain silent etc etc...

The main reason that I think this topic should remain is that the other one doesn't get tainted with discussion

Well, we just wanted some attention from square enix oo to see that they care for their customers at least a little. and it's funny that after 100 pages we got none, even though must ppl are frustrated here and would probably be fine with just some explanation or trying to find to a middle ground.

And what the ppl against this thread don't see is that this will probably apply for anything, they just don't care and that is it. If you get any problem in the future (not just monthly fee) and you need their attention, it seems you're out of luck.

And for the ppl against this thread, well if you were just ignoring this thread it would probably be dead 30 pages ago, it almost feels that you're trying to help by fueling it and not letting it die.

I really consider that this thread should be closed. When the discussion becomes cyclical and erratic (we have talked about ToS and fairness of price).
I understand people have their concerns but there is a thread that is handling the problem with actions.
In my opinión as a community you have taken a retaliatory action kind of cynical by downvoting the game on steam solely based on this change of
Price, especially when its know that there people exploiting the steam wallet.
You showed no respect for a company that allowed to save an important amount of money by regional prices and for years! And in less than a week you deemed evil and shady.

Pls Moderator close the thread.

Most of the reviews contain "the game is good but the company is not", that is exactly what happened, the game is awesome but the company isn't giving a good support to us. So the reviews are right on point.

And how is paying the price that Square asked for is exploiting the steam wallet? Square have a control panel on steam where they set the price of each thing in the way that pleases than the most, the proof of that is that the jump potions had a higher value than all the others things cause they made it this way. (and i actually think they should do that for everything but the monthly fee, so we still could play and the things on mogshop would have normal price preventing ppl from selling it to others)

If you look on the other topic with signatures, it already have 28 pages, most of them Russians and Brazilians, square got all of this customers cause of the regional price we had. So Square shouldn't abandon them now.

They made no announcement, the price change is almost double, and it is 97% more than other games offered.
