First of all we can see that it was not an unupdated price it was obviously a regional price (I do not know about exchange rates of Argentine, Brazil etc. it would be great if we can get more information from this countries about this topic). And AGS removed it in the worst time they can without announcing it. I guess I should say happy anniversary. Let me explain why it is a regional price with USD/TRY exchange rates. We can clearly see that USD/TRY exchange rate was 13.5201 on 11/02/22 (Lost Ark’s release date on Steam). After that USD/TRY exchange rate only increased and it is now 18.8242. Until this aniversary update you have used 9.65 USD/TRY exchange rate. Can you give us further information about why you removed regional prices. But please give us some reasonable ones nothing like this one. One more thing I did not see any game company that updates prices without notification. And I was definitely not expecting such an approach from a game company that is linked to Amazon. Could you please make us an announcement next time. It will be appreciated. Hopefully any community mod can rapidly answer and does not ignore this topic anymore. Thanks in advance…
Dat erdogan economics paying big bucks now. Surprised it isn’t higher with the inflation there.
Slight changes? As far as I can see from all the information others provided, all the prices have at least doubled, if not tripled. On top of the inflation people in these countries already deal with. It’s a complete scammy move and you guys need to revert it. @Roxx @ShieldMaiden
This. We are requesting revert to the old prices.
This pricing will force people to RMT. You can buy 2 of the most expensive AAA games that released lately for the price of 12000 RC pack. And you get what, 3 - 4 skin chests with that? This is way too expensive even for EU and NA players! 4 skins for 100 bucks lol.
At this point i don’t even blame people for RMTing anymore, it’s better to give money to random chinese bot farmer than AGS, on top of being cheaper and faster
By this point… You better belive that some of those bots are run by amazon to make side profit.
Create problem and sell solution… BASICS!
No wonder why people have to rely on rmt
Prices incresed to fit the current dollar/currency ratio, at Brazil the price lowered slightly because the price of USDxBRL is slightly lower than when they set up the prices initially for the game
I logged in to say this, like just shut the fkn game down at this point. They deserve a documentary.
Oh yes, its beyond obvious now
In this thread:
People who do not know anything about the dollar index, world economics, and forex.
And always the one guy who thinks they know everything because they Googled a bunch of flash economy words, without having any socioecenomical understanding of regional pricing and purchasing power.
By the way only in Lost Ark prices are doubled. I m playing Destiny 2 and Silvers are still same money. You may want to check your data otherwise no one is gonna buy RC. What you want is half of minimum wage in Turkey.
Yes no one care, AGS isn’t selling necessary goods or services that you need to survive.
Heck most of turkey probably aren’t effected by these changes.
“socioecenomical understanding of regional pricing and purchasing power.”
Stop being woke, AGS choose not to regionalization Royal Crystal in this game and it a business decision they made.
You also aren’t force to play Lost Ark.
Ah yes, because countries with bad fiscal policy since the GFC is totally not the reason why most currencies have gotten weaker versus the dollar including the euro. Words you can’t understand are automatically “flash economy words.” Tell me about your socioeconomical understanding of regional pricing and purchashing power, because it all just boils down to how strong your currency is versus the dollar. It’s hilarious to see people spew bs without knowing anything, 2.16 USD/TRY since Erdogan presidency vs 19 USD/TRY (he’s still the president btw) and you’re going to blame it on socioeconomic factors and ~regional pricing~, maybe you should vote politicians in that are more open to QT instead of QE, oh wait you’re just going to say those are ~flash economy words~ again. What a joke
That’s OK…
America will be fine, and America will make a ‘killing’ in this…
Woops… I mean AGS.
lol
Can we move from capitalism to socialism already?
It’s obviously the solution.
I love how you spent 20 minutes of your time writing this down to basically tell people that they are responsible for their country’s economy as individuals and they have no right to equal opportunity because of how world economy spans out. None of the garbage you managed to throw around is any underpriveledged individual’s fault that they need to be punished for while trying to play a video game. That’s why regional pricing exists on Steam, and on almost ALL video games available on Steam. Just like what others who are actually from Turkey and such other countries mentioned, it is ONLY AGS who pulled this, but if you’re delusional enough to not see the problem with all of this just because you managed to Google what every corporate fascism institution already wants you to believe, there is no saving you, nor any point in wasting my breath on you.
just dont use money. its easy. with wages where i live im not planning to spend even a dollar in a game by ags. and you can easily play with out spending even 1 cent.
