So we always have to buy more premium currency then we need to buy premium stuff. Nice predatory tactic Fatshark. Tought you are better than this. Or maybe it's Tencent? Plus timer for FOMO

PC Gamer interview is so bizarre. Worth having a look in this thread if you all haven’t seen it.

“You have to price everything differently in all regions, so whatever you release, and every time you release something, you have to go through pricing it in all the different regions and making sure it works. That’s something this helps with: we just have to price it once, and then we can sort that out in the game.” So, you’ll give people more or less Aquillas if their local currency is strong or weak? What are sorting out exactly? Or is the idea that everyone will have to purchase in dolla…

General point about vitriol to an extent being angry is all the devs will really understand. You can ignore a customer that’s willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but enough people that want the problem solved and are vocal about it are bad PR that likely will never go away unless they are satisfied.

FS being a smaller/niche developer means they are more likely to be affected by this bad press. It doesn’t seem “fair” when all they are doing is industry standard, but part of being a small niche developer is built on “not being like the big guys” but unfortunately it’s just a matter of scale/time with these people as we see time and time again.
