maybe currency as it's all done in dollars tbh, and they have just (US) increased the exchange rate, but it's only a guess i don't know for 100% sure

The U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates Wednesday

maybe?

I considered that but then dismissed it because I thought surely no company would change their prices to that extent due to exchange rates during a sale.

Perhaps I was wrong to think that. For Liberty! has increased in price by 94p. The raise in interest rates surely couldn't account for such a steep price hike.

Whatever the reason is it's bloody annoying. They should set a price at the beginning of the sale and stick to it, not let it fluctuate. I can think of no other digital store when I buy from whose sale prices can actually go up during a sale.

I downloaded it on the day the sale started. In the PDF For Liberty is half price at $4.99 which equates to £3.35 and yet it's £4.44 on the game's store page. I suppose it could be VAT but that doesn't explain why I saw the price at £3.50 at the beginning of the week and why it's now £4.44.

The PDF price may not have changed but the actual store page price has, and that's the one that counts.

tbh i can't see any difference in prices?





for For Liberty £ 4.44 still priced the same

The price was different earlier in the week. When the sale started I opened tabs of the store pages of games I was considering buying. Each day I've perused the store pages, have done some reading about each game, and eliminated some and left others open that I will definitely buy.

Because of this I've noticed the price has changed on some of the games. At one point at the beginning of the week they were cheaper than they are now. For Liberty was £3.50. It's now £4.44. I also notice Germany At War Barbarossa 1941 was £8.99 before the sale and the base price was increased to £14.99 when the sale began.

I don't have screenshots to prove the price fluctuations but it didn't occur to me that something like this would happen.

The bottom line is that the prices have changed over the course of this week.

Unless someone from Matrix or Slitherine explains this it will remain a mystery but I know they have changed. I will probably still buy the games but an explanation would be nice.

was it a cached page maybe? as not noticed it myself, as i bought stuff just before the sale as well, a day or 2 if memory serves me right[;)]

Maybe but if it was a cached page from earlier in the sale that would still mean the price has increased from what it is now.

I am in the Euro zone and I have observed the same. The USD prices are stable but the conversion in EURO is changing every day. It seems the prices are re-calculated every day based on the exchange rate.

Thank you for confirming it. For a moment I did consider that I might just be crazy. [:)]

It seems a great game.
