But I’m genuinely curious how many that have lambasted SG for the price increase have actually taken the time to look into why the prices have increased. Don’t get me wrong, their prices should be lower overall.

Now bring in currency conversions, local/state/federal legislation that up the cost of those offers and everyone goes off on SG when SG wasn’t the root cause of the price hike. Issue with this that I see is that their prices haven’t changed and people have been purchasing the offers. Now adding to that currency exchange, taxes and other things they became even more overpriced to the point we can’t accept that. The problem for me is that I think that SG overpriced items and gems in the first place. Zynga already knew what was coming and adjusted their offers where they could. This adjustment also explains the improved ham offer of 7.5M for US$4.99 / SG$6.98 used to be just 6.5M ham. This is an unfavourable situation for players but it makes sense from a business perspective. Google allows Zynga to set their pricing up a certain extent.Īt the end of the day, Zynga will try to ensure “fair pricing for both Apple & Google” where possible, depending on whichever higher pricing is adopted. As to the “updated” exchange rate used, Apple enforces their exchange rates. If one currency devalues sharply, both are affected.

If it’s exchange rate related, both iOS and android do exist in the same global economy. Google may not include that component, but show that extra only at point of payment.

And one of them is usually sales tax.Įxample: iOS may include sales tax in price. There should be other reasons for that difference.
