yeah this is some major bullshit
so supergiant decides to raise the price of hades after they had the game on sale for 7 bucks during the epic mega sale, they then raise the base price to 25 without announcing they are changing the price
DESPITE HOURS EARLIER SAYING THEY WOULD ANNOUNCE BEFOREHAND THEY WOULD RAISE THE PRICE
they claim that the 7 bucks was a price error but even if that was the case, why would they raise the price to 25 dollars during the sale? the base price before was 20 dollars so the price during the sale should have been 10.
here's what one of the devs says on the situation
EDIT: Look at the threadmarks for a proper recap, does a much better job explaining what happened than I have.
DOUBLE EDIT: They've lowered the price again! Thank you supergiant for listening.

Hey, I'm one of the developers of Hades. I wanted to personally apologize for the confusion around the sale pricing -- the lower sale price earlier today was in error. To folks who picked up the game at a reduced price, we're grateful for their support, and we hope they enjoy the game.
To everyone else, the corrected sale price is a 25% discount off of the previous $19.99 retail price (regional pricing varies though should be equivalent). The game's retail price is now $24.99, which we think reflects the game's current value in Early Access based on all the additions and improvements we've made since launch.
I lurk on this forum but haven't posted much, though will keep an eye on this thread if there's anything else I can do at the moment. Really appreciate your understanding here.
