Steam payment HUGE price increase!

[Rymm]

How does this not affect me if you demand a better treatment then me or everyone else in the world for no reason at all.

Please point out in which of the eight or nine posts I made in this thread so far where I am 'demanding better treatment than you' or anyone else. The only thing I would like from SE is to be treated with some modicum of respect as a paying customer and fellow human being.

My asking for notice before my sub price goes up does not affect you. My asking to not be ignored and have our concerns addressed by SE does not affect you. My pointing out that it was unethical for them to wait to make our sub prices raise without notice until it was impossible for us to return Stormblood (which many of us can no-longer use now) does not affect you. Those are the main points of contention which I have brought up, over and over, in this thread. These are the issues I would like for SE to address.

None of these affect you in the slightest and you, therefore, have no right whatsoever to tell me that I do not have the right to ask for these things.

Cmom 80 pages in this topic justo to ask for a refund on stormblood expansion?
You guys can seriously make a better effort.
Btw as i said its unlikely to get it, because the amount you saved by paying less compensate the real price (by far).
Also, there were exploiting the steam wallet, blame for this those people.

Yeah you're exactly right!! 80 pages and still no answer for square enix!!!! It's like they don't care about their customers at all. What a nightmare

But with one time payments, people can resell Steam cards and get funds into their Steam Wallets and then use that money to pay for game time. In other words, if they sell enough of cards via Steam, they can get free monthly game time. Now that the prices for that are higher, people are angry as it's harder to get free or even cheaper game time.

Yeah, we're all exetremely angry that we can't get those 0.30 BRL off our subscription price by selling 274898 trading cards for 0.02 BRL each. Damn.

Sorry for the sarcasm, but I think it's rude to make assumptions like this. Personally, I don't even sell my trading cards, I prefer to use them for badges. Most cards are extremely cheap on Brazil, and, unless you have 200+ games and the patience of a saint, you won't get more than a few BRL in your wallet. We're angry because we weren't notified about this change, and it happened right when we can no longer refund Stormblood (a lot of people would like to refund it as they will no longer be able to pay for the game).

Also, yes, the recurring subscription price hasn't changed, we are aware. But who knows for how long? To me, the fact that now there's a discrepancy between one-time payments and the recurring fee prices is a much bigger problem than whatever we had before. Now I can choose if I want to pay 42 BRL or 23 BRL? ...Okay? Sure? That makes... sense... sure. And if SE can change our exchange rate for one-time payments out of the blue, I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same to the recurring fee. Even if it's written in the ToS they can't do that, I don't exactly feel like I can 100% trust them on this.

I think SE will probably say something like. Our recurring fees is still the same. It is the exchange currency conversion of the affected countries that are facing problems.

I am saying this because I used to work in a company that would not take responsibility of any extra charges or monetary value changes in international countries.

they don\\\\'t have any obligation to inform you of a price change beforehand according to their own TOS, complaining from you will not change anything like it or not.

Look at the EU ToS, there is no distinction on wheater the subscription is a one time payment or a recurring fee. Thus Square is indeed supposed to warn with at least 30 days of a price change.

Also whoever was exploiting steam to resell things cheaper will sinply change to the UK mogstation since they pay cheaper for stuff.

Nevertheless, the cheaper prices for some regions were intended, and there are still some regions paying less (UK, AUS, NZ)

The official statement is at best uniformed, and at worse malicious as there is no way Square isnt aware some regions are still paying a cheaper sub which goes against the 1 sub price for the whole world argument

Hey everyone.

I'd like to call to your attention this thread: Appeal to Square Enix regarding subscription prices for BR and RU. This is part of the actions being discussed between BR players (including me and Doppelshifter) and RU players (including Seturian Wings, from the Chaos server) that I mentioned in my previous post.

As mentioned in it, the intent of this thread is to gauge how much support the cry for a better solution on this matter can get, not to foster discussion; for said discussion, this very thread here already suffices. Please take a read and, if you agree with what's in it, follow the directions at the end of the original post to make a post of your own, showing your support. We believe this will be a good first step towards showing SE how much this matters.

Cheers.

May I recommend everyone sympathetic to this to also comment this inside the game to try to get as many supporters as possible.
