Hey, slugcats! I wanted to remind everyone that the base game price will increase from 19.99 USD to 24.99 USD this Friday, February 10th, at 9AM PST. Plenty of folks have asked for the reasoning behind the price increase so I wanted to highlight something Buddy said in another thread on the topic. I hope you guys are having a good time with Downpour and I’ll have more news for you soon! "1) We're changing the base game with the Remix update and that was a lot of effort and work. Bumping up the price helps reflect that time and effort. 2) It helps keep the DLC price lower for longtime members of the community. If you bought Rain World in 2017, you got it for cheaper than someone coming into the game now and we think you guys deserve that discount. 3) We're changing the development direction of Rain World. The original price reflected a finished game whereas the new price reflects that we want to develop more for Rain World. 4) The process of picking the game up from another publisher was an expensive one and they still get a cut of all of our sales. Bumping the price a little helps to offset that reality. Anyway, like a lot of decisions in game development, this one was kind of a confluence of a bunch of factors all pointing in the same direction. And I definitely wanted to be fair to you guys by announcing the price change way ahead of time so that nobody is bamboozled by it. This also won't change the discounts we list Rain World at so for anyone looking to pick up the game on sale, they'll have an easy time finding a good price for it." -Riv Otter
