price increase

[动物 (not human)]

I wanted to buy the game yesterday for X$, but today it costs three times as much! What is this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? Why did 100,000 players (number of reviews on steam) buy the game for the "old" price, and I have to buy three times as much? And this despite the fact that the game is still in early access!

Look, it sucks for you guys, but he reality is they operate in a different economy.

At this point, wait for release and look for a regional key seller.

IKR? They could at least be like GoG and charge Turkey a consistent 59.99 USD regardless of the ever decreasing value of the lira. That would be reasonable.

Which would currently be ~1175 TL.

This is the correct exchange rate as of today, May 13. 59.99 USD converts to about 1175 Turkish lira. If they are getting it for 800 Turkish lira, they are probably getting some kind of home town discount. I don't have a problem with this, but they need to quit ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it.

why only larian increased the price?

Larian actually waited quite awhile; Steam updated their regional pricing suggestions months ago. Many companies updated their prices immediately.

Firstly, Larian made the price much higher than Steam recommends. Secondly, they increased the price not by like 50% or so. You should understand that in went up by 180%~. Just imagine you wanted to buy the game for like 10$ and the next day it is already 28. Mind blowing, isn't it?

Larian didn't increase the price, regional economies increased the price because the value of their currency went down.

Don't worry, we (USA) going through a bank and debt crisis, world currency crash come fall. Powers at be keep saying "nothing to see here", but..........

Must be something related to your country. For me the game was always 60€ and haven't changed at all since it got to EA in the first place.

Nope, read what they said:

From the store page:

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“The price of the game will remain $59.99 USD / £49.99 GBP / 59,99€ EUR at launch. As Steam makes periodic changes to their recommended regional pricing to reflect changes in purchasing power and currencies around the world, the price in other currencies may change to reflect Steam’s most recent recommendations.”

So basically - it depends on your currencies current value.
Or should be anyway - prices change periodically.

They said the price in three currencies won't change and the others may be adjusted.

It's unfortunate for you, but they really didn't want to promise all prices stay the same when some currencies are rather unstable.

If you are not effected why are u commenting on the thread? Just trolling?

Am I not allowed to post any comments now? I simply wanted to have a normal discussion about this, but apparently I have offended you somehow with my post.

I'm sorry, I am not offended. But the thread is about the lack of regional pricing with the new price, yet some people are making it into a different matter. It is not our choice to be born in a poor country.

If Larian wants to increase the price, it is understandable. But to increase so there is no regional pricing at all, I think it's a bit much.

This is the new regional price.

There is nothing regional about that price, its called one price.

If the currency exchange results in the game costing less than $60, that's regional pricing.

So assuming it's true that the suggested price of 510 was for October 2022, that's hardly something that can apply now - at it's current cost of 800 that still works out to the equivalent of a $20 discount.
