Steam

When a games been sitting in my wishlist for a while it's usually there for a reason. Sometimes it's just that I have a glut of other games to play in that genre, sometimes I'm waiting for the game to improve. But usually it's because I've looked at the game and said "I don't think it's worth that price" and am waiting for it to fall to something I consider reasonable. Obviously, a price hike isn't going to help it reach that point.

I looked at Riftbreaker's steam DB page and it looks like it was only some countries who got a price spike, so I'm guessing it was some sort of currency re-balancing. You know, the Ruble is weak so prices relative to the Dollar went up or whatever. All that being said my first point stands, if I didn't want to buy a game at price X , I'm going to want to buy it even less at X * 1.5, regardless of what's happening in international money markets.
