The creators of Spiritfarer have released statement on Steam. They drew attention to the problem of regional pricing abuse on Steam.
According to Thunder Lotus Games, about 85% of Spiritfarer’s sales come from Turkey and Argentina. It is assumed that a significant part of the purchases are made by tourist players.
Thunder Lotus Games has decided to raise prices as the alternative is to reward those who are changing regions in pursuit of a very low price. The developers understand that the real residents of Turkey and Argentina can be hard after the price increase and asked for forgiveness.
The developers of Spiritfarer decided to trust the regional prices of Steam, which were set by Valve itself. Manually, they would have to update price tags in more than 30 countries.
As a result, the new Spiritfarer prices are as follows:
- In Russia, now the game costs not 515 rubles, but 1100 rubles.
- In Kazakhstan, instead of 3900 tenge, the game costs 7600 tenge.
- In Turkey, the cost has increased from 50 liras to 280.
- In Argentina, they ask for 330 pesos per game, and 2100 pesos.
