Sudden price increase for the game and DLCs?

[GranThaaL]

I'm keeping a tab on prices and I see the price of all DLCs have increased, including the base game. The definitive edition was Rs 1058 yesterday, today it is Rs 1384.

Exchange rate changes?

Not sure if that's the cause, but all other games on my wishlist don't show such a price increase, or at least it's not reflected there yet.
I know this game is pretty old and games adjusting prices to adjust for the current inflation isn't a new practice, but I don't see any official announcement for that. So was wondering what's going on here..

Probably because Last Epoch has some server problems.

Steam DB shows the price history for the game. Set it to your local currency to see the price in your local currency.
If you click on the DLCs on the left hand side menu, it will bring up the list of DLCs, Packages will show the bundles available. Click on the highlighted App ID to see the price history for each.
There is no change for the game or DLCs or bundles in USD, but Steam regional prices do often reflect currency exchange rate changes, which may or may not update immediately on your Wish List, but will update on the Store pages. There are a number of issues with the Steam Client in recent months, that have been really broken in the last week or so, and the Wish List has been one of those things.
That said, it could also be that the regional pricing was incorrectly applied by the studio when the latest DLC came out yesterday.

Grimdawn is still 25 Eu as when i bought it, and the new support dlc(skin pack) cost 20 cents more then the pack befor it, but with the discount it cost 90 cents less, and is cheaper then pack 2 by 70 cents.

I'm aware that there is different money, however this is how it looks like on the EURO side.
Taking inflation into account 0.20 cents is almost not worth mentioning unless to say WOW that was the smalleste inflation i have seen to date.

Edit1: I even saw a guy making a bad review for the new support pack, where he uses the price change as a negative...

I am willing to bet this is an issue with the Steam Client or Store not updating properly due to ongoing server issues. I bought the Loyalist 3 DLC 10-15 minutes ago. It is in my library. But the Store is still trying to tell me it is in my cart, while my cart is empty.
Like I said above- Steam has been having server issue, basically forever, but much worse in the last year, even worse in the last few months, and seriously worse in the last few days to a week. Things are not properly updating in Steam's servers, which very easily could include regional price changes due to currency exchange rates changing.

I own the Loyalist Pack 3: https://prnt.sc/dSsCGUveF660
But the store still thinks I have it in my cart, lol: https://prnt.sc/cRtst-aXGwFZ

TL;DR Steam is more broken than usual today.

LOL. IT humor is the worst type of humor.
Yeah, it might update if I log out of Steam and log back in. Not that worried about it.

This just makes it even more funny, since i didt even intent for it to be a joke, but a legit fix.
Like when releases or dlc's dont show up till you restart steam.

Seems a bit like they are in financial trouble with the Loyalist Pack 3 etc. Maybe Farthest Frontier isn't looking like a moneymaker?

how so? it only cost 20 cents more, and its 10% off so its 90 cents off. how does that = financial trouble?

[suejak]

Oh I didn't realize it was such a small increase.

I just thought the Loyalist Items Pack 3 was a weird thing to drop, and they're also making yet another Grim Dawn DLC (great!) instead of focusing on their EA game, Farthest Frontier.

All of this made me wonder if they're hitting some financial trouble. If so, I'd probably buy all three Loyalist Packs, but otherwise I'm not interested in transmogs in general. I'm more into using items' inherent skins.

Loyalist Pack 3 has been asked for, multiple upon multiple times, for years, by the players themselves 😅
Farthest Frontier has already sold over a million copies iirc

Good! I won't feel bad skipping the Loyalist Packs then.

What's ironic is I always tell people one of the reasons I like Grim Dawn is that you eventually look like your build organically -- the MIs, coloured lighting effects, and auras combine to make your build resemble whatever your main skills are. I would never use transmogs in this game because it would take that away from me :)

i know some that enjoy organic build visuals, or "especially" the scrapheap look you have early game - while others absolutely hate it
for me it's a bit of both, i love the option of stuff, had a cool AAR char that looked like half tank battle mage in fat armour plates, thick shoulders and helmet, and another i've instantly put pieces of loyalist 3 on for a mix "crystal" look
to me that's the best part of the illusionist/transmog systems in general, and then loyalist pack, one can use them when feel like it because it's available should it be desired or not if one don't feel like it
