They're the same price on Steam and Frontier store for me... (actually... on closer inspection, the 25500 is £0.40 cheaper on Steam, all the rest are the same).

Screwy regional pricing on Steam maybe? How much are they for you?

$37.99 51000 + 3000 Bonus on Steam vs $24.99 51000 + 3000 Bonus on Game Site.

$24.99 is wrong.

It's £24.99 (GBP) on both stores. So the price in $ should probably be $37.99 on the Frontier store as well. Or maybe a touch less... £25 is roughly about $32 (I'm assuming USD, feel free to correct me if it's CAD or whatever).

Steam gets 30% on everything sold through their store as far as I'm aware. Fdev take the hit instead of us though...

So if you want to support Fdev, buy things on the Frontier store instead of through Steam :steamthumbsup:

They do get a share. However in many countries it's illegal to increase price so it's the customer who pay it. I assume it's an EU thing at least, but with UK having left EU I'm not sure how that work for them now.

I think the rules were in place before the we decided to shoot ourselves in the foot... We just haven't bothered coming up with new rules to replace them yet.
