[Artaletta]

Final Subsctiption 14.

That means its last month playing for me.

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.

Wait for official SE reply.

[Iceboy]

We don't have the same rights since we pay can't pay stuff in USD. OK then.

[otarolgam]

I can't even pay in CAD... have to have a weird exchange rate. -Sighs-

I have yet to confirm sources, but apparently FF14 might have not been the only steam title to get hit buy this. Still waiting on confirmation though.

Players from Ukraine, for example (I really doubt that salaries there are bigger than Russian ones) were paying the standard cost from the start.
I agree that making such price changes without notification is a bad move, and doing this after SB release is even worse, and not fair at all.
But still.

Ukraine is Europe? #trollface
To be serious, the question is not the price itself, the question is they've done it in shadows without a word.

Wouldn't this be perhaps have been Valve's responsibility? Seeing as this involves accounts that did go through steam for their subs. SE could have very well notified valve, and somewhere along the way it could have fallen through. I'm saying mistakes can happen. Not trying to excuse this, but just tossing in my thoughts on the matter.

Someone asked the question in support of Steam. And there they answered that the publisher was setting prices. And that the Steam does not have the right to set a price. How much it can reliably say I can not.

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.
