Game price will be raised to $7.99 on May 1st

Dear Steam community, We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that we will be increasing the prices of our games on Steam starting next month. We understand that this news may come as a surprise, and we want to assure you that we have not taken this decision lightly.

Dear Steam community,

We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that we will be increasing the prices of our games on Steam starting next month.

We understand that this news may come as a surprise, and we want to assure you that we have not taken this decision lightly. As you're surely aware, over the past decade, the cost of development and production has increased significantly due to inflation. Inflation affects the cost of materials, wages, and other expenses, which has impacted our business operations. We need to adjust our pricing to keep up with these changes.

The new pricing for all of our games, from May 1st:

Game	Old Price	Adjusted for Inflation	New Price
Tiny & Big: Grandpa's Leftovers	~~$9.99~~	$13.09	$11.99
Tiny & Big: Grandpa's Leftovers Soundtrack Edition	~~$14.99~~	$19.64	$17.99
Black Pants Suspenders Bundle	~~$14.99~~	$19.64	$17.99
On Rusty Trails	~~$12.99~~	$16.28	$14.99
About Love, Hate & the Other Ones	~~$6.99~~	$8.88	$7.99
About Love, Hate & the Other Ones 2	~~$9.99~~	$11.61	$10.99

All other currencies will be adapted to match the USD price using Steam's regional pricing recommendations, which of course means that actual price increases may vary. We apologize for not communicating all regional pricing updates in advance.

We remain committed to providing you with high-quality games and delivering the best possible gaming experience. We appreciate your continued support, and we hope that you will understand our need to adjust our pricing accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to continuing to provide you with great games on Steam.

Sincerely,
Black Pants
