Should Ukrainians get a free/lowered Sub?

I'm pretty sure it does though. She just posted a video 13 hours ago about this very topic. About a day before, it was glamour restrictions. In each case, someone decides to take it upon themselves to come rally the cause in favor of one thing or another.

Don't try this guilt tripping nonsense about people only thinking about themselves. There's so much hypocrisy to unpack from that statement, but I won't get into it because (again) this is not the place for such discussion.

So this here only about players that get affected by situations like war.

All wars? Or just the Ukraine/Russia one, and then only on the Ukrainian side of it?

Does the situation in Myanmar or Sudan count? What about people in Chinese Tibet? Afghanistan? Ethiopia/Eritrea? Yemen/Saudi Arabia?

Do terrorist/popular Insurgencies count? Algeria? Burkina Faso? Cameroon? Chad? Columbia? D.R. of Congo? Iraq? Libia? Mali? Mozambique? Niger? Nigeria? Syria? Tanzania? Tunisia?

If it's a bad exchange rate, what about all the wonderful people in South America; Brazil (who often rightly mention how the sub is just so expensive), Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela?


That's where it gets tough eh? Make a gesture to one side of a two country war but ignore all the rest.


Maybe just let SE decide? They will do what they think is correct and meshes with their business.

Ofc not and I wonder why you don't ask lowered subs for Syria, Irak, Pakistan, entire SA and so on.

Almost forgot Libya.

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.

All currencies will never be supported.

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

Personally i think your title might be a bit decieving because though it would be good to lower it from what it inflated to now best solution would be square supporting their currency so their fee would go back to the normal fee.

This is a public forum to get the opinions of others on the game and its development, not a place to virtue signal for the Caucasian county in distress.

[Lustre]

Nope. Either everyone pays their way or nobody does.

In case you misunderstood, I was agreeing with you.

It's quite funny how people hide "If i don't get it then no one should" behind some whataboutism and "equality" without even care about it.
Just say real reason like person above - it's far better than read pseudo high morale text

Honestly this. I mean we already have people with perma lowered sub fees with the legacy players, and I don't see people complaining about it ( or at least not anymore) I really don't care at this point about it. If SE decides to do a gesture like that to Ukraine players then good for them.
