Steam payment HUGE price increase!

Bad, very BAD timing for this bad pratice squeenix, Black Desert just released in huelands. Also, i don't like paying subscriptions because i can buy a full game every 3 or 2 months, using sub money.

Black Desert SA is p2w, b2p and p2p, so I dont think it is a good alternative, mostly because you are avoiding to pay more.

Going to wait few day on official SE statement. If nothing going to change will stop playing FFXIV and try to refund Stormblood on steam (long shot, but will try anyway). Its kind of BS when you sell new expansion and then raise sub price 3x time without warning. If i knew, i would never bought it in the first place. And i made my friend buy it as well.. feels bad man, what a scam.

You know one thing I go to play Final Fantasy 14 and back to play Guild Wars 2 that does not pay monthly and have a great quality B2p.
Even if we fight here about signing it seems they don't care about the Brazilians and not with Russians and other countries. (Low income)
Square Enix has already shown his claws.
I'm going to miss the Lalafel, the story, the community good people, it sucks I'm really sorry about this.

- Square Enix uses Limit Break
- Russian playerbase annihilated
- Brazil players barely standing, 95% MIA.

Seriously speaking, in the past World of Warcraft was 359r for russian players, after the currency change Blizzard WARNED EVERYONE BEFOREHAND and allowed them to purchase WoW sub with 359r for whatever period they want and only after that changed the price to 550r(not 859r) per month. A lot of people purchased 1+ year of WoW subscription at that time with 359r/month. Also, FF XIV with 3 additional retainers is now 100% higher than World of Warcraft in "per month" (550r WoW Vs 1100r FFXIV).
p.s. Conversion rates if someone interested:
1 Euro = 68r
1 $USD = 59r

How much do you pay for the 3 retainers? I hear that first one costs 290r. So it's 850+290*3 ~ 1720r

Assuming that 1 retainer is 1.40 Euro = 95r (Mogstation)
This means 859+ 95x3 = 1144r per month for FF XIV sub and 3 retainers.

p.s. Black Desert Online premium account is also 500r per month.

It's seems that price is somewhat bugged in that case and add two "free" ones to calculation.

EDIT: I checked again, for 6 months sub 1 retainer is still 50r~ per month, making it 300r per 6 months.
Seems alright for now. (old price)

I recently started to play and I already fell in love with this game. But changing prices will not let me continue to play! It's terribly sad! In our countries too different economic situations, and I'm very sad that this will no longer be taken into account...
