How has this affected the big games?
League of Legends
RP price will increase with 10%.
QuoteDue to recent shifts in the global economy, we will be increasing the average RP cost for players on EUW and EUNE. The end result of this will be approximately a 10% increase in the cost of RP.

I remember 1 year ago you could buy a Case key for €1,79. Since yesterday you will have to pay €2,29 for a case key. This is almost a 30% increase. This is also for other CS:GO products like stickers.

Personally it's not even worth it anymore opening cases, because the keys are way too expensive for what you get out of the cases.

Its mostly to compensate for the russians, cuz of the giant fall their rate took lately.
Euro failing because of bailing out Spain, Greece and others over and over. Looking forward to Germany voting out as the UK will follow.
Sorry mate but Germany wont get out of the Euro. We actually profit from a "weak" euro. Also, Germany has always been one of the biggest defenders of the currency.

If only there were good free-to-play FPS games out there!
