Twitch: same country, different prices for subscriptions

There is a nice WoW streamer who helped me out a lot, and I wanted to gift him a subscription. It’s been at least 4 years since I last subscribed to anyone, but I deleted my old Twitch account years ago and created a new one a couple of months ago.

The first thing I did was vent to my real-life friend about what’s wrong with Twitch, asking for such astronomical prices for a subscription. My friend said he didn’t know what I was talking about, as the prices are the same as always, and showed me screenshots of the subscription prices for the streamer and others for comparison.

So, I sent him screenshots from the same streamer, and he also didn’t know what was going on and why I have to pay 25% more. We’re both from the same country, and the prices are shown to us in the correct currency.

Maybe new accounts have new pricing? We can’t think of anything else.

It could be because you’re a new Twitch account the new price change is effective immediately while the old one is not rolled out yet to encourage old Twitch accounts to buy a sub now until it is fully rolled out as long as the offer lasts.

I thought that might be the case. Thank you for your help.
