Steam payment HUGE price increase!

[Alleo]

Well SE can do whatever they want but if this is a good financial decision or not remains to be seen. If these prices would be changed in countries with a high amount of income then the changes would probably turn into more profit because you will have more people that are able to pay the higher price. Yet if you do this in countries that are poorer then I am not sure if this will not just be a loss, especially if your direct competitor is way cheaper. Also if you lose a bigger amount of people you might lose more people that would have spent a bit in the mog station or other stuff next to the sub.

But the biggest hit is probably the reputation and this is really valuable because this goes beyond just one game. A bad reputation can really ruin a company so it would normally be in the companys best interest to have barely any bad press. I might just be one person but I can already say that this news hit me too because I was already not impressed by SE lately and this decision was a major turning point for future purchasing. I will keep my sub (for now) but thats all that I will do for the company. No more other stuff and games from them. So even if the financial loss itself is not that great, I am not sure if they truly calculated the loss of trust and reputation for staying silent on this. (Which is the main problem)

God, people, stop it. The topic is already 104 pages, and almost nothing is written on the merits. You just lick one and the same question and are uselessly cursing again and again. Between you even there is no mutual understanding. Everything that is written here can be accommodated in 3-4 pages of the dialogue. It's annoying already.

Oh, stop doing what exactly? Giving dissatisfaction about shady and semi-legal billing moves from SE? Also since this thread has reached over 100 pages already and all we got was 1 moderator post, SE clearly isn't interested in quelling the situation so i don't think people should stop

The main problem of this thread is that it turned into a 100-page bickering between Russians, Brazilians, Europeans and Americans, where first two try to prove their right to a regional price and try to explain for what this regional price is exist, while the latter spit poison that we do not have this right and must pay the same amount how pay they are. I'm talking about this. Where in this topic appeal to the developers? To the moderator? On the first pages? Two or three messages between disputes? WHERE? I see here only absolutely stupidly dispute.

Well, we just wanted some attention from square enix oo to see that they care for their customers at least a little. and it's funny that after 100 pages we got none, even though must ppl are frustrated here and would probably be fine with just some explanation or trying to find to a middle ground.

And what the ppl against this thread don't see is that this will probably apply for anything, they just don't care and that is it. If you get any problem in the future (not just monthly fee) and you need their attention, it seems you're out of luck.

And for the ppl against this thread, well if you were just ignoring this thread it would probably be dead 30 pages ago, it almost feels that you're trying to help by fueling it and not letting it die.

I understand it, because I am Russian customer too. But for getting attention it is exist second thread already, where Russian and Brazilian wrote a good letter with asking to explanation and normal decision in this situation and it's none disputes there. Here - it is. Cycling, again, again, again. Even if moderator will write something important people will not notice it because people here are too concentrate on bittering other.

Out of curiosity How much is the expansion in BR and RU? Does it convert to the same price EU and NA paid?

I bought Stormblood in May for 2382 roubles = 35 euros = 40 USD. The price of Stormblood slightly decreased in Steam for Russians (for 4 euros/5 USD) after the "adjustments to how prices in Brazilian Real and Russian Rubles are calculated for Steam users" being made, i. e. 3-4 days ago.

Keep in mind that before July 5, when a lot of people preordered the expansion and a bit after its launch, the price in rubles was a bit higher and corresponded to exactly 35 euros.

So if price of the expansion was close in price Why should the monthly fee be a lot lower?
