![]() ![]() We share some great memories from that time. We used to play in a rock/metal band together in high school, Will as drummer and I as guitarist and singer. Will (the studio’s founder) and I are childhood friends. ![]() To our friends in the region, we hope you're safe and sound. Unrelated but very important side note for y'all: please spare a kind thought for the people of Syria and Turkey, who experienced a devastating earthquake this week! We've made a donation to The Red Cross to support relief efforts in the region if you're able, please consider doing the same. This is not an easy decision, but we do agree with it - the alternative is basically encouraging people to abuse the system and pay far less for our games than we know they're worth. This is apparently a widespread problem on Steam, which is why Steam is recommending an especially large increase in your regional prices. Something like 85% of sales coming "from Argentina and Turkey" seem to be coming from people playing in other countries - people who are chasing the lowest possible price on Steam. What I can say is that we saw a huge increase in sales in your countries last year, but no increase in the number of players. Special mention to fans in countries where the price changes are more dramatic - Turkey and Argentina, especially: we see you and appreciate you, and apologize if these changes affect you negatively. ![]() As we understand it, Steam's new changes should account for all the crazy fluctuations in the worldwide economy over the past few years. We trust Steam with this we always have, locking in Steam's recommended prices on all our games since we started publishing on the store back in 2015 - the alternative being to set, manage, and update prices manually across 30+ countries ourselves. In a nutshell, they try and consider many factors so that, hopefully, the average consumer pays a fairer price in each country. Some of these new prices are a big change (check out the full list here ), so I want to give a little context.įor those who are unaware, Steam doesn't simply use exchange rates to set prices. Today, we're approving and locking in Steam's latest regional price recommendations on our games. ![]()
