Strawberry game studios: price hiking, steam store feature abuse and bs EULA

https://steamhost.cn/bundle/13160/Fruit_Basket_Bundle/

1) "Endangered" is 100EUR, clearly above actual worth.

2) their "game" bundle is on a permanent 1% off, so it will show up on store algorithm for discount.

3) initial discount was probably higher at some point so that it would look like you got a BIG discount due to the inclusion of a 100EUR title in the bundle

4) not surprisingly all their games have ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ EULAs with clauses for legal action if you share content on social/media platforms with out prior consent from the "developer"

ps.

their game bottler3000 has blatant lies on the storepage about it being connected to actual recycling efforts in the real world.

The current bundle is listed as $23.76 AUD, and the game Endangered is lists as $6 AUD.

I would also like to see your claims on these prices, their EULA (what it contains) and the lies you claim of this 'bottler3000' game

EULA can be found in the store page
https://steamhost.cn/eula/1200280_eula_0
however yeah its almost $24 for me as well
The EULA is also the most typical EULA I've ever seen, its all boilerplate

USD it's 65.34$ but CAD it's 12.37$
Endangered is 50$ USD while it's only 2.50$ CAD.
So doing the exchange from 65.34 USD to CAD it would be 81.52 CAD, not 12.37 CAD.

Yes Endangered shows for me (CAD) as $2.50. Perhaps the USD price is just a mistake as it seems to be the only currency that seems overly inflated? Also you would need to provide some kind of proof of these blatant lies regarding the recycling app. I admit the claim is kind of out there but baseless accusations are just as paper thin as baseless claims the developer makes.

It's not, there's several inflated ones (including the 100 EUR price listed in the OP, which is also the one I'm seeing):
