Donut price increased AGAIN
No change in UK.
Forum Discussion
The price increase for donuts (for Canadians) took effect around January 20th, and as several others mentioned it was due to the weak exchange rate. The price for a boatload of donuts went up from $119.99 to $139.99 in Canada, and it's likely that some other countries were affected as well.
The change was not limited to Tapped Out though. According to an article I read, Apple sent a document to developers advising that prices for apps, games and in-app experiences were set to increase near the middle-to-end of January. So If you go to the Apple App Store you'll notice a lot of apps that used to be $1.19 also went up to 1.39. And as someone else mentioned, a lot of in-app purchases in other popular games went up in price as well.
Kinda sucks. When I started playing TSTO, I remember only paying $99.99 for a boatload. Now that it's $139.99 for the same number of donuts, it's a bit harder to justify buying them. Hopefully Gil stops by with a discounted donut offer soon!

“When foreign exchange rates change, we sometimes need to update prices on the App Store. Within the next 72 hours, prices for apps and In-App Purchases will increase,” said the email, detailing changes to prices in Canada, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore, and South Africa.
