Buy units through splo

So, I live in Canada (Thank God). Does that mean the price of unit packs will go up by 25% depending on what Trump decides to tax?

Or because KABAM is a Canadian company I'm good but the rest of y'all are screwed? I genuinely don't know.....

Do y’all not go to school there? This is the most preposterous thing I’ve read in a while!

Some people just don't know. The Tariff threat is doing what it is intended for some people, scaring them.
The orange felon is off his rocker. Less than 1% of illegals and drugs come from Canada, and he's making a political scene. Meanwhile, there's a horrible plane crash, and he's blaming DEI hires. I think it's logical to have fears and concerns for the world at this time.

This is a game forum let's leave your political beliefs for other platforms. OP asked about tariffs not your opinion on trump

I don't need you to moderate my thoughts.

The answer to your question is that this depends on how you purchase things for the game, although the answer is similar in either case.

Important to note first: you do not buy anything directly from Kabam. There is no way to hand Kabam money and get something in the game. When you buy using the in-app purchase mechanism, you are actually buying from Apple or Google. They operate the stores, they collect the money, and they actually set the prices in large part. When a developer creates an item for sale, they give that item a price code. This code then determines the price of that item everywhere Apple or Google operate. You can only set one code for that item, and typically the item code is set based on the USD price of the item. If you set the item to, say, Code 50, then that item might cost $49.99 USD in the US.

However, that’s where Kabam’s control ends. What it costs in Canada, or Germany, or Australia, is determined by that code. Apple and Google decide what a #50 item costs everywhere else, and they set that price based on what they decide it should cost based not just on currency exchange but also other costs to them: how expensive it is to operate in that region, what their risks are when it comes to currency fluctuations or inflation, any taxes they might pay on revenue earned there, etc. The current exchange rate might imply that a $50 USD item should cost $73 CAD, but Apple can decide to round that to $75 CAD or decide to charge $80 CAD if they are worried the exchange rate will change or $90 CAD if they have to keep cleaning maple syrup off the servers. Kabam has zero say in this.

What you pay is ultimately determined by the App Store operators, based on what they decide those costs should be relative to the benchmark (which is typically USD in the US region). In general, taxes and tariffs can affect that price (if applicable), but lots of other things can as well. The two biggest questions here are: what the currency exchange rate is, and how costly is it for Apple and Google to operate in the target country. Anything that affects either of those can affect what you pay.

The webstore is a bit different, but functions in an ultimately similar way. That is operated by a company called xSolla, and they have similar rules by which they operate. I am less familiar with the specifics, but I know price translation is also mostly under their control.


To the extent that you’re asking a specific question about specific trade policies, speculating on economic policy is probably beyond the scope of the forums without any real information to go on. And it bears repeating that political discussions are discouraged as they generally devolve into inflammatory exchanges. There is no useful purpose to be gained having those discussions here.

This my loosing streak 8 in a row battleground matches where 2 of them were for point farming i admit it but after that for regular 6 matches i encountered roasters far beyond my level all 7 star rank 3s or ascended champions no less than 25000 pi and my roaster is not as extensive despite being valiant i still have 5 stars in my roaster how is this fair matchmaking ik i take advantage of this too but 6 in a row really and one thing in my observation is it mostly happens with elder mark matchmaking if you go with energy easy opponents mostly thronebreaker all this high end roaster sitting in diamond 5 not even in vibranium and neither i am unable to farm points nor progress..is this common or rarity? Have you experienced it as well?
