changedIt has come to my attention that Steam is updating their pricing guide to reflect global changes in currency values so for vast majority of countries if I were to update the pricing it would cost more for those people to buy Project Dagger. Some prices are now 450%+ what they used to be.

Video games are an escape for people, and I priced Project Dagger at it's current price with that in mind.
