(sorry if it’s the wrong place for this kind of discussion)
Yesterday The Riftbreaker raised its price 50% for base game and 65% for dlcs. I know Steam said all devs to adjust prices(in January), but this feel more of trend where once a game gets popular the price skyrocket.
As someone who waits a game go 75% or a stable 50% discount before buying it, if i didnt buy it by then sure i ain’t buying that now unless there is a massive discount (not even gonna talk about games that raise price to fake a bigger discount).
I dont want to sound cheap; I grew up with no condition to buy games and spent a lot of my internet in torrents in my youth, now i gladly pay for games but once a game raise its price i unwishlist it.
I don’t see any price change for that game looking at the price history (USD). It’s possible you’re seeing an adjustment in exchange rates which would only see an increase in certain currencies.
As for what I think, I generally just ignore base prices and only buy games when they are a price I’m willing to pay for what they provide.
Perhaps it’s was the regional price, Steamdb link, funny enough, the price change history vanished(dlc still recorded) but still has the new price.
