Why is game on Humble Store suddenly become so expensive.
Normally I buy game on Humble Store and redeem the key on Steam because it simply is much cheaper than buying the game on Steam itself. But recently Humble Store seem to set a very high price for new release game. Take Spellforce 3 for example, it only cost $28 right here on Steam with no discount but on Humble Store I am a subscriber so I get 10% off all purchase yet the game price is $45 (full price is $50).

Huble Store don't really have a discussion forum of their own so that is why I post here. Also I try asking this this question to Humble Store support before and they simply reply vaguely that "we are not steam" and totally ignore my main point about the price spike.

So anyone know what is going on? Also the game humble bundle is normally "pay what you want" but right now it is pay at least $5.

Does the game come with any additional content or something? That price difference is too big.

No additional content. Just the game itself.
Spell Force 3 is $50 bones on steam too, bud. I am looking right at it.

Just like with Steam, the vendors set the prices for hunmble bundle. Sometimes there are price differences dependent on separately negotiated deals.

And the game has been out for a few days. No one but illegal key sellers would have it for cheaper.

What other games you got for me to check?

I thought spellforce was a long dead game. I got the first two beause they seemed ancient and always cheap.

I see, so it is $49.99 for other people. So I assume this is a regional pricing since I am buying the game from Thailand region.
