The increase in the price of the subscription to World of Warcraft is paralyzed in one of the countries
It seems like a joke that a company dares to raise the price of the subscription to its services only in two countries of the world and they are precisely Ukraine and Türkiyetwo of the most punished by tragedy in the last times. Well, it’s real, last week Blizzard announced this controversial measure, and it didn’t take long to withdraw it. after they were almost eaten by the gaming community. At least in one of those countries.
It is most petty to raise the price of services in a country like Ukraine, which has at war with Russia since its invasion early last year, or Türkiye, where they suffered a terrible earthquake at the beginning of 2023 that he left more than 51,000 dead and more than 107,000 wounded. Unsurprisingly, the gaming community and other fans complained heavily until Blizzard backed down.
World of Wrcraft does not rise in price, at least in Ukraine
After listening to the feedback from the community, Blizzard has updated the community post page where it announced the World of Warcraft subscription price increase for Ukraine and Turkey and has confirmed that, at least, in the case of Ukraine the measure will not be carried out.
“We recently communicated a price increase for the Ukrainian hryvnia on Monday, June 5. After further consideration, we have decided not to adjust the prices for players in Ukraine right now. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and we look forward to seeing you all in the game.”
“World of Warcraft is played in many regions of the world and we do periodic price reviews of our games and services in all currencies. From time to time, it is necessary to make changes to certain prices based on a variety of factors, including global and regional market conditions“, explains Blizzard, although it is still a meanest measure to raise the price of your services in two countries that have gone through, and are going through, a tragedy.
Aside from getting in and out of their own messes, Blizzard is also working on *new content for their latest game**, Diablo IV’s new character class has already been leaked.
