changedWe recently discovered that the game's price was set based on the 2019 exchange rate. It wouldn't have been an issue if the price was simply low, but we also identified instances where this exchange rate was exploited to unfairly purchase the game through specific countries. Due to this, we have inevitably decided to adjust the game's price to reflect the current exchange rate. The adjusted price will be set in line with Steam's pricing policy. The price adjustment will take effect from November 1st, 00:00 (UTC+9).
changedWe hope for your understanding, and we sincerely apologize to those who are adversely affected by this price adjustment. We will continue to do our best to show you our best side. Thank you.
changedLast week, we've announced about the price adjustment due to the exchange rate issues. However, surprisingly on the next day, an official announcement regarding this issue was released by Steam. So instead, we've decided to follow the announcement. The price change, which was initially scheduled for November 1st, will be applied on November 20th instead. In short, Steam plans to change the payment currency to USD for certain designated countries. There will be no price changes in other countries. And for all, fall discount is scheduled for November 20th.
