The fact is that salaries in russia are now at the level of 2014, with the dollar rising from 30 rub to $ 57-60rub per $ 1 (1 euro 65-70rub). We did not pay less.
What does the regional subscription take? The level of incomes of citizens in the region, but neither as a currency exchange rate

In early 2014 1USD was about 30 rub and today it's 58 rub so your money is worth half as much but sub cost was still the same.

It sucks if you can't afford it but it makes sense for SE to be asking for more, what surpises me is it took this long to get adjusted.

M = Math?
The price increased by 300%+, not <200.
It should be increased by 2 times then, not 3.

Remember they are getting paid in Roubles so they actually have to pay more to convert it to USD and they also have to factor for fluctuations in exchange rate so what they are asking is reasonable is they want you guys to pay the full USD value of a sub.

Than question- why was creating steam version (and need to buy separate) with regional price. And now set full price. There many ppl like me that buy game second time for regional sub and now they say- ty for buy game 2 times and pay full price in usd sub.

But they change subs to x3, not x2. If they set price like 550- ok we undestand. but 900 it's crazy.

That's it. For this purpose, a system of regional subscriptions has been created. Since in different countries the value of the local currency to the dollar is estimated differently. Regional subscription estimates the average capacity of the local consumer. Therefore, someone has less value for someone more value.

Regardless it's in their right to ask for more money based on current market conditions instead of one that is 2 years old.

Not disagreeing that a lower cost might be better for you guys but expecting it to be the same as it was is unrealistic SE is a business first and foremost.

steam has regional price for ingame everywhere. thats the point of using steam instead of original EU game. Nothing else.
