- Price Revision (Students of Psionic Power & Students of Light Bonds) - 18 July 2024
The price of Yakuentei Typing Game series (Students of Psionic Power & Students of Light Bonds) has been revised (price reduction). Students of Psionic Power : USD $7.99 => $3.99 (JPY ￥770 => ￥440) Students of Light Bonds : USD $7.99 => $6.99 (JPY ￥880 => ￥770) In order to avoid unfairness to those who purchased during the previous Steam Summer Sale, the new price is higher than the previous discounted price (based on USD and JPY). The price revisions for other currencies are based on Steam's current regional pricing recommendations, so the range of the price revisions are different for each other. Thank you for your understanding. Reference : About Steam recommended regional pricing (official article) https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/pricing#5
