This increase is a joke: most increases for products distributed in Europe were limited to 10% max.
Have you seen tvs, games, pc components or other material increase by 30 %: No.
And it is not a question of company size.
Fanboys can link the Fanatec statement as many times as they want, that does not change the fact that no other firm in this industry has increased its retail prices in Europe as much and as early as Fanatec did.
The only case where prices have increased as much for european customers is when we buy products directly in the US (i.e Derek Spears Design, Simexperience, etc). But of course that cannot be compared as those products are not distributed in Europe.
Not to mention: Unlike US or asian companies, Fanatec is a European firm with part of their costs in Euro and financial results in Euros so obviously they should impact less their prices due to rates fluctuation, not more.
All this just shows that the market misses competition, especially in Europe, at Fanatec positionning point: between Thrustmaster T500/T300 range and very high end products (like Accuforce wheel, Heusinkveld pedals, etc.).
