If there were a sudden overnight 50% price increase in the US or UK then there would have been a huge outrage in the forum. It is no small thing. But I guess no one cares because well - it does not affect them.

Could it be that costs to develop for google specifically have increased over other platforms due to google-imposed requirements? I donāt know about gaming, but that is a common issue in other software development. And then unfortunately the other platforms raise prices too, because they see that they can.
can someone remember the change of unity pricing and developers here told us that nothing will change for GoW?

Hi folks,
We havenāt had a pricing review on Google Play for quite a long time. I donāt have the exact date handy but it sounded like years. For the most part the changes should be minimal and while there are some price increases there are also some price reductions.
Not all packs in all regions had the same % increases/reductions, so while one pack in one country might have increased in price by 10%, another pack may have reduced in price by 25% or more.
For Gems of War:
Turkey had the largest average price increase.
Switzerland was 2nd with an average increase of less than 10%.
3/4 of currencies had overall price reductions on average (even if some packs had a price increase in the same currency, enough packs had more reductions to cause the average prices to be a decrease overall).
These changes are purely based on currency.

You do not even mention South Africa. Most prices, especially the gem price, increased by 50%
