Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it

  No, not sure if other industries do this, but buying a game in a weak currency usually turns out cheaper (by alot) because Devs will usually offer the game for a lower price in the weaker economy

    So OP wrote a misleading description when saying the increase was from $12 to $14?

    I don’t play RuneScape and I’m just going off of their description, which is inconsistent and the derogatory “just read lol” has so far shown to be wrong.

      Well OP does say the price increase ranges from 20% to 50%

      In other currencies the price change is over 50%, for example Euro price going from 8 to 12.50

        Ah, that would’ve been much better for OP to include as an example…

      Because they quoted the dollar price, and how it affects other countries. The prices are featured in the link, SEK is particularly egregious.

        I feel like I’m missing something completely - maybe I do need to learn how to read. The only thing I’m seeing on the jagex page is new prices for a handful of currencies, SEK is not one of them.

        There’s no mention of past prices at all?
