EA changed the costs for Donuts in its store dramatically!12 Donuts changed from 1,99 to 2,29 €60 Donuts changed from 4,99 to 5,49 €132 Donuts changed from 9,99 to 10,99 €300 Donuts changed from 19,99 to 21,99 €900 Donuts changed from 49,99 to 54,99 €2400 Donuts changed from 99,99 to 109,99 €I also heard that they raised the costs in the UK, too.What is this greed for?

Every few months or so, we do the same thing over and over. Somebody complains about the price of donuts going up, then somebody says the developer of the game is in the US, so the USD price did not change. Somebody else tells the OP that it is related to currency forex rates, and then somebody blames Apple/Google, then somebody else blames EA for being greedy.

Don't like the price, don't buy donuts. It isn't like they are hard to get nowadays.

Could it be possibly due to a surcharge of some kind charged by certain governments? Like a tariff or a tax on apps that EA must compensate for, which is not charged by the US? Such things are not unheard of. Not saying that's the explanation, just tossing up the idea.

I hardly think that a 10% increase is anything dramatic.
And probably EA didn't do anything, it was Google that changed the prices to take into account the variations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the euro (and also the pound, but that has happened a few months ago already).

"EA changed"?? Please check your facts before making accusations. Prices are set by the store you purchase from, and subject to international rates of exchange, international tax increases, etc.
