    Because sub fees were never equally. Russians have to pay like 4 euros, we from the EU have to pay 12,99 Euros, you from the US have to pay 14,99 Dollars so it was never equal from the start. Just for example the chinese sub costs 0,1$ an hour. (Yeah seems they pay in hours played)

    So regional pricing was always a thing, this isn't new. The only difference is that the Ukrainian currency isn't supported, which is something even Blizzard out of all companies have already changed.

    So why should the sub fee in one currency be reduced to make things even more unequal than they are? I don't understand how this is a good thing.

    Cause people in different parts of the world have differently strong currencies? It is kinda arrogant to think everything should be based on the strongest currency in the world.

    Or do you really have the opinion that people from places like developing countries should have no access to games cause they earn in a month what you make in an hour? O.o If so then...uh...well that is your hill to die on i won't judge!

    All currencies will never be supported.

    dealing with exchange rates and everything is a pain in the ass.
