Why was the price of the game increased early this year?

Hi there! Since financial decisions are treated as confidential information, Finji policy prevents the sharing of details with regards to the "why"s and "how"s of our business strategy. That said, you may notice that many Steam games have updated their regional pricing to better reflect modern exchange rates and increases in global inflation. While we might not be sharing our confidential information publicly, we suggest checking in on other studios that have shared insights on this same decision.

About this, i hope you've noticed that Steam's tool to judge pricing based on modern exchange rates and increases in global inflation has been acting up relatively recently, giving prices that "don't really work for normal people" : https://steamcommunity.com/app/722730/discussions/0/5704402939708739791/

Because of this, Cogmind's price in, for example Turkey, has made about the same jump in price as TUNIC has¹, before the dev set it back to a more reasonable amount.
Please do take this into account next time you set prices!

¹According to SteamDB, Cogmind's price in Turkey rose to 593.75% (32 -> 190) of its original value, and Tunic's rose to 560% (50 -> 280) of its original value.

Wow, I got a big price increase but nothing close to 500%+. That pretty much ensures no one will buy the game from those countries. O_O

Was waiting for a sale to bring the price down. Price goes up, now I have to wait for a larger sale. Ten years ago, this might have bothered me. Today, there are already too many games to play.

Exactly. Where I'm at, this 20% sale price is almost the launch price. If I didn't buy it then, there is not much incentive to buy it now.

In Brazil this game costs more than RDR2 on sale.
I really miss the old days when indie games were priced like indie games
