Price increase before sale \ Повышение цены перед распродажей
Increasing price in May, before the summer sale? \ Повышение цен в мае, перед летней распродажей?
Are you serious, such a cunning marketing? You could sell to me and instead the game would be removed from my wishlist...
Well, good luck to you, greedy marketer, my money will settle in pocket less cunning-... developers;) \ Вы это серьёзно, такой хитрый маркетинг? Вы могли бы продать мне, а вместо этого игра будет удалена из моего списка желаемого...
Ну успехов вам, алчные маркетологи, мои денежки осядут в кармашек менее хитро... разработчиков ;)

p.s. all this games was in plane to buy : Wolfstride, Backbone, Kathy Rain: Director's Cut & Whispers of a Machine
from now- you loose buyer for all this, because of your dishonest and manipulative marketing. if you want to raise prices, do as everyone who wanted to do it, after the winter sale, in early January, and with this approach, I will not buy any more games from this publisher!

p.p.s.
in some European countries, they are required to show price history for several previous months. especially for such cases of "marketing". when the buyer expects a discount (New Year, Black Friday), and instead receives a discount to the inflated price

в некоторых европейских странах обязали показывать историю цен за не сколько предыдущих месяцев. специально для таких случаев "маркетинга". когда покупатель раcсчитывает на скидку (Новый Год, Чёрная Пятница), а вместо этого получает скидку к завышенной цене

I agree, though I'm not so pissed about it to say that I wouldn't buy it. It just means they don't get my money at this time. I really can wait forever until it comes down in price that I'm willing to pay.

I'm very sorry about this, Joker, but regional price adjustments based on currency fluctuations are a necessity — we can't keep a fixed price point when currencies lose so much value. Have a look at some charts for the last year and compare the value of the Rubel against Euro and USD and hopefully you understand what I mean.

This was interesting to read. I never thought about currency fluctuations and prices of games. When OP posted this, the ruble was 1/3 of what it was the year before.

It's the same thing with commodities, except commodities, being contracts, usually rely on the forward rates rather than the spot rates.
