Hello.

Just noticed on steam a very interesting subscription offer -

So just 5.5$ per month, at the same time on official site the best offer is twice bigger.

Why the difference is so huge? Seems not fair offer :(

Actually as my accounts are not linked to steam, I cannot use that offer.

Be glad you're not here in the UK. 12 months through steam for us is £89.88 ($126 at todays exchange rate), no different from the price direct from CCP.

What would be interesting to know is why the US customers are getting such heavy discounting through Steam compared to us in the UK (and looking at El Capitan's post the US is also more heavily discounted than the EU region), but I suspect that's more to do with Steam themselves than CCP.

I'm not from US, I'm from Ukraine. So not sure what will get US customers in steam, but it seems strange.

Amazon do the same, the US periodically gets massive discounts on PLEX while everybody else pays full price.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I resent this. Just because we have People of Walmart websites and cartoon characters for presidential candidates, it doesn't mean we can't afford to pay regular price. Evil
