PT Plus Price Change

Awesome1849 · 10-20-2023, 05:25 AM

Has anyone that uses Fastspring in the UK confirm their price for PT Plus jump a pound?

In the game it advertises at $6.99.
They were charging £6.99 on Fastspring which I didn't like but accepted.
Now while the game says 6.99 it has jumped to £7.99 with no warning or reason from OOTP or fastspring.

I feel like OOTP should have some say or reason for their product inflating overseas on an "code"

Any help to understand this?

To Give context.

It's not a VAT issue as I've been told...I know how that works.

This was mid season and no notice. It may be just a pound but why did OOTP and fastspring feel the need? Is OOTP going under and need the money?

Have you reached out to Fastspring to ask about this change? Has anyone from OOTP reached out to you? Has there been any new UK laws that would impact this? There has to be some explanation, because I don't think any of us were aware that there was going to be a price change. I am as surprised as you are, but I feel like an exchange rate thing is probably the best explanation.

For the vast majority of currencies, we do not have direct control over the exchange rates. The rate seems to get fixed to the pound (or to the x.99), so presumably something in the calculation caused it to shift over to the next value. The USD/GBP exchange rate, for example, is at its lowest point right now since around March. Whether they calculate and adjust rates daily, weekly, monthly, as an average of a recent period, I'm not entirely sure. But it's the nature of exchanges that they are volatile and subject to change.
