Good!
Changing prices retroactively doesn't make much sense.
Still, the new games will have higher prices.... not good, but that's more understandable

The Guillemots, IIRC, only own a 18% stake in Ubi if you combine the entire family put together. They were leaving themselves super-vulnerable.
Wester owning a 33.3% stake in Paradox is pretty good takeover insurance.

Who the fuck thought the price increase was a good idea for consumers in the first place?
I agree with the sentiment but at the same time... Even with the price hike the games are still cheaper right now during the sale than after the rollback without sale.

Good work from everyone who raised a fuzz about this, it obviously have had an effect, no matter what he says in #3. It was an extremely weird to choice to make such price hikes in certain territories, and as weird to make it on the base games that are several years old, while they sell as much DLC to those games as they do.

Very stupid idea in the first place, now they'll be more cautious in future. Good outcome.
Their games go on sale regularly. Not missing much. Discounts (% wise) have been par for the course.

It's good that they heard the complaints
Good on them for rolling back the changes, but it's not something that should have been done in the first place. I hope they discuss this more with the community in the future.
Basically they changed the prices in all regions so it converted to the approximate value in US$. This meant that most regions saw a price increase as they were the same price, but in local currency before.

i mean... they should get paid for creating great games. Your countries shitty economy shouldnt change how much they should get from the economy they live in?
Why did they think selling games for a pinnance was worth it in the first place.

I don't mind the DLC policy if it keeps games that I have 1000+ hours played in active development.
The price increases should have probably be for future games/DLC and not retro-active to old stuff.

listen to the mad man
It's crazy to watch a company notice a rake, hear their fans say "no, don't step on the rake", and then step on it anyway. Totally unforced error.
