Who stole, stoled - Ark: Survival Evolved now costs twice as much

_(´ཀ`」∠)_Unity1 | 07/06/2017

Just as we squeezed out the last joke about how Ark: Survival Evolved will never get out of Early Access testing, Studio Wildcard has covered us with the release date of this game - August 08 - and now also with the price. We might joke about that price, but it looks like the devil took the joke.

It was expected that Ark would be more expensive in its final version, but we would not say we expected a 50% price increase of the game , let alone slap to European users on Steam. Namely, a game that you can get at a discount on occasions for less than 15 dollars now will cost you more than 60 dollars.

It is particularly rude that the game will have a significant difference between the prices for US and European audiences, as it will cost 60 dollars for the US and even 70 euros for Europe. From which reason exactly, since both versions come with the same content, to nobody is known.

That's bad but after having lost faith in a few Early Access games due to no/little interactions from the development team, the work of ark team has been very refreshing. I've loved playing the game with a friend of mine thus far and look forward to future updates!

This game seems to have ticked off a lot of people (this price increase, releasing an expansion for an early access game, etc.), but it seems like it still maintains a healthy playerbase.
