We have some important news regarding the future of the game. Starting Friday, January 16th, we will be increasing the base price of the game by approximately 25% across all regions.
Example of the new pricing:
USD: $11.99 → $14.99
GBP: £9.99 → £11.99
EUR: €10.99 → €12.99
JPY: ¥1400 → ¥1890
Why the change?
We have decided to do this primarily as the overall costs to run the game has been higher than originally expected. While we are incredibly happy that many of you are enjoying the game, the unexpected volume of players has pushed our original infrastructure to its limits.
Server Stability: Our initial setup wasn't optimised for the current player load, leading to the outages some of you experienced. We are currently migrating to a more robust, long-term system. This is more expensive to run, but it ensures the game stays online and stable.
AI Costs: As you know, the game heavily relies on AI. The costs to maintain these AI models have been higher than expected with the high player volume. This price adjustment allows us to keep the game running and account for future cost fluctuations.
The change will also allow us to continue improving the game and adding more features, such as additional languages, game rules, Steam achievements and more.
When will it happen?
We wanted to give you this heads-up a bit in advance. If you’ve had the game on your wishlist or have been on the fence about buying it, you can still grab it at the original price until Friday, January 16th.
We still intend to hold occasional sales for the game in the future as well, but the "base" price will change to ensure the game remains sustainable for years to come.
Thank you for your understanding and we hope you all will continue to enjoy the game!
