@Berbe David is saving because they have set a price for eCommerce at $X that's resulting in the price agreement in retail which is crazy

David,

New patch broke the "Apply" on pricing. When you adjust pricing and click Apply it changes all pricing (i.e. behavior of Apply All button)

My pleasure. I hate the post-release beta because they never give you time to fully test always breaks save games. Its really once you have a game with significant time that you start running into issues and identifying ways things can improve.

I'm mostly playing the game, of course, but also at this point identifying ways to improve things.

This is due to a game rule that applies to software products only for the sake of gameplay balancing, the same software product from the same vendor being sold in the same city must have the same price.

For products other than software products, the Apply button will work in the usual way.

Here I should agree with William.
I remember that I already shown this to David a year ago. But in my situation it applied to e-commerce sales of physical products.
I was trying to retail sale my products in subsidiary stores. They appeared to be bound by my own e-commerce.
Also I was unable to set the same e-commerce price for all my factories in all my cities. As a result, only one of my 15 factories in 15 different cities was selling online. Yes, I understand that factories in different cities can produce goods of different quality but provided that this difference is not that big, e-commerce price can be normalized to support e-commerce sales from local factories. As a result I had to abandon e-commerce hardware sales at all.
