Yeah, clearly they didn’t change the price.. But they did offer to allow you register .dev domains a few days early for an extra fee. Many people were unaware of the concept of “premium” domains (domains that would renew at a rate other than $12) and Google didn’t go out of their way to remind people that the high rate they paid when first registering the domain was going to be closer to the eventual renewal rate, not a one-time fee.
