So apparently that happened during their crusade for equality and socialism.From what i gathered on the forum Russia got hit the hardest with double prices.It must amazing to wake some day and find that your buying power have doubled during the night.One of their guys came out and wrote this:
Hey gang,
As you have noticed prices for our products have increased in certain regions around the globe and this is something we've intentionally done. The reason for this is to make our prices match the purchasing power of those areas, as well as create a more equal price point for our products across the globe.
Our prices have remained pretty much the same for several years and it's only natural for us to re-evaluate price points at regular intervals based on the strength of various currencies, fluctuations in world markets and many other factors. This is something that all publishers do and we are no exception.
Sadly this means that the price has gone up for certain regions and whilst this is something we'd like to avoid, it's necessary to keep our price point more in line with our other markets. We sincerely apologize for any frustration this may cause and hope you can understand why we are doing this.
Now when you go and click on the reviews in steam you will see that at least the top 100 recent reviews are all negative.
Here a link to the the forum if someone wants to read a lil bit of fun:
