Steam payment HUGE price increase!

[Velxeor]

At the expense of price leveling around the world, for a company like the SE and the more so because they are rumored that the new sales manager is the most stupid mistake.
For example, you have a cheap used car (for $ 500) for which you pay just as not a big tax as a cheap vehicle, you drive along the same road that a rich man drives to Porshe last model, which pays dozens Times more taxes on your own.
The result is the same, the road is the same! But the fee is calculated in different ways!
The first months of the SE will not feel the difference, but in 2-3-4 months people will change FF to WW or other MMOs

I'm a bit depressed that the prices for carbonized matter which they warned us about are more important to SE than all the people that live in Brazil and Russia, who apparently don't deserve that kind of warning, even if SE didn't violate the User Agreement by silently adjusting everything that falls under one-time payment on the Mog Station for Steam users.

As someone who is just not able to pay for the sub anymore because of how expensive it became for me, I am going to quit as soon as my current sub runs out.
And I can't say I'm actually enjoying these last days in the game now after I learned of the way SE chose to make adjustments.

I see the point why they made prices in UK cheaper - they have SQUAREENIX UK and they have point of view in UK and they know probably gamers not gonna pay 13-15 pounds for sub, but still it half cheaper then in Russia now lol

That's the thing though. Brazilians wouldn't pay 50 BRL on a service either. The economy broke 2 years ago, we one president suffered impeachment this year, the new one is being investigated for corruption and the 2nd previous one was just given an arrest warrant. Those 3 have been doing shady business for over 14 years and only now they are being punished so the economy is very unstable. Since what we pay isn't even a stable currency anymore but the conversion straight from dollars on the day u resub, this is pretty much a bye bye Brazil move.

That's of course very sad and i really feel for you guys but a lot of country's in the world are far worse off then yours and they didn't get any special treatment only your 2 country's where affected and only payment's trough steam wallet so in fact even people from your own country's which payed directly trough Mogstation or on the PS4 allrdy had to pay the correct fees, i don't really see why you guys deserve any special treatment you had it good for a few years and now it's over be happy it lasted as long as it did.

Do we really need to say again the main reason we are not complaining its about the price increase, but we didn't have ANY ANNOUNCEMENT about it exactly 1 month after the launch of Stormblood.

Because of that many of us, whom have bought Stormblood, can't keep playing and get a refound for that.

That hurts man, a lot.

The ToS clearly states that this only applies for automatic recurring fees, they need to inform those customers of a change in pricing. In other words, only those with an active sub. Those that pay the monthly sub and then unsub (to prevent automatic recurring fees) or do 1 time payments have to pay the higher fees right now, so they don't need to inform those ppl cause they allrdy see how much they have to pay when they make the payment. Same for those that pay via any of the other non-recurring methods. Those with a recurring sub still pay the same mistakenly lower monthly fee for now, so you see they didn't violate anything.

Man(woman, dunno), if you provide any service to a client and you want to increase the value for that, you must to warn your client about it.
You cant just raise it without any warning and expect that everything will be ok.

And yes, that is a violation to the ToS

That's a point, if you set up a recurring fee, would that get you back to your old prices?
