Apparently a couple of hours ago i noticed the anniversary offer prices went up on Android.
Earlier, 10K gems could be bought at 349.99 TRY, now it is 699.99 TRY. All offers which includes 10K+ gems were at this price point. 699.99 TRY is extremely expensive for a Turkish citizen, considering it is ⅓ of the min. wage (monthly) which is roughly 2400 TRY (about 400 USD)
and it could be seen from current anniversary offer;
9.99 TRY > 19.99 TRY
107.99 TRY > 199.99 TRY
from this “inconsistent” price adjustment. we can say, this isn’t because of Google’s possible touch on exchange rates. only explanation i can come up with is SG is trying to prevent us Turkish players to stop spending…
I’m also managing a Turkish FB group with about 2K active players, most of them agree to stop buying.
i know game developers were pressuring Google to increase the exchange rate, but i would like to know more about this change, like why did it happen? who is responsible SG or Google?
Yes we stop buying unless these prices get lower. For foreign players I can explain just like that. With Minimum wage which 12 million of 44 million people earn in this country, you can buy 35000 gems and it worths only 140 heros which majority of them are Dawa`s and Balthazar
@KLinMayhem the prices varied according to the economic conditions of each country. (from the very beginning). but unfortunately now I can’t find a logical explanation for what happened.
for example: Valor Pass Price - Global Currency List 🌍
No. I checked the math. You’re correct. 199,99 in Turkish currency equals just under $33 USD, which is almost exactly what we pay for the same offer, after sales tax. of course. lol
Yes this is not necessity, let us make it 1000 dolar for 10000 gems and only rich play the game, and all your previous efforts and money will be gone. Is it ok? This price change not acceptable
If you say so. I use the exchange rates to get a good idea of the comparison of prices in the game for different countries. My explanation shows the prices being half of what they are in the United states.
Here’s a screenshot from earlier showing euro prices.
Ummm… that’s the whole purpose of exchange rates. To equalize currencies between different countries. Using the exchange rates is the only proper way to convert these prices.
@KLinMayhem sorry for misunderstanding. it is not your explanation that does not make sense. what makes no sense is that the price change is unaware and sharp.
