At least on my account, this isn’t true. The only recent(?) change to HP prices is that you can’t buy 100 for $1, but you can buy 200 for $2. This is in the US, anyway.
Actually, at least according to the fairly old data on the wiki, ISO-8 prices have changed in a positive direction, in that you get 1.5 x more ISO for the same money. But I don’t know when those prices changed as I have never bought ISO, ever (and neither should anyone else!). (That is after they apparently doubled in price over a year ago? Not sure how accurate the wiki history is.)
Anyone else tell anything different about HP prices? I haven’t looked at them in quite some time so I’m not sure if anything’s changed, either.
This is probably related to this: App Store Prices Increase in Europe and Canada. If D3P sets prices centrally and Apple does the currency conversion, D3P may not even have done anything to trigger the pricing change – it may have been automatic.
This is a very important point - can others confirm it is only on iOS that the prices went up? If it’s only iOS, then it may be true that D3 had nothing to do with the increase.
Also, since you CAN save your game and transfer it to any non-PC device, if you have access to an Android device it sounds like that’s a good way to save $$ if you make in-app purchases.
Maybe. Here in the U.S., Play Store gifts cards almost never go on sale. Whereas, iTunes gift cards are frequently at least 5 dollars off the list price. Not sure if that’s that case outside the U.S.
The best deal you get in Canada now is 10% off cards of $50 or more. It used to be 20%.
That said, I can buy on Google Play and have it billed directly to my mobile account so I don’t need to use a gift card or credit card.
