$20 in USA. $60.00 in Canada. Why?

[Chaosman_One]

You guys don't want Canadians to buy your game I guess? If I buy it using a VPN from a US server is that going to be a problem? Why are you scamming Canadians? It's pretty rude and discriminatory. Rude and discriminatory game production company? Certainly that's now what you want to be known for, I'm sure. But, that's where we're at right now.

Pricing differences like this are usually down to the developers simply not setting regional pricing, not intentionally scamming anyone. Though it does not excuse the fact that they didn't bother to do so of course. It's more negligence than intentional bad behavior. Typically, anyway. Obviously I cannot speak for this dev team either way though I think it's fair to give them the benefit of the doubt.

In USD it is $35.99 not $20
In CAD it is $49.90 not $60

Using a VPN is agent steam term of serves I think

[CyberDiva]

Per the current exchange rate, 35.99 US Dollars = 47.95979 Canadian Dollars as of this very moment. Of course, in five minutes that could easily change, as exchange rates are constantly fluctuating. So 49.60 in CAD sounds about right.

Well, that's where you're at right now. The rest of us understand international exchange rates and math.

Not sure where you got those figures from. I'm Canadian and our price today is $51.99 Cdn. Had a friend check the US price: $35.99 US. With the exchange rate that's pretty spot on.

Still...$36 USD for this game is way WAY overpriced IMO. Maybe if this game was finished and bug free it might be worth that but this game is missing so much content it is ridiculous. Now imagine you add the cost of all the DLCs they will add and that could cost us players another $25 or $30. That works out almost $70 USD...which IMO is a complete farce and money grab scheme by these devs...and for us Canadians with the exchange rate as it is, it is completely out of whack and insane.

I completely agree. I was only disputing the OP's claimed prices. As far as I'm concerned, at the present moment the game isn't even worth $1.

In the current state of the game, you will not get an argument from me regarding the price you suggested, but will say $10 CAD. That way, by the time you include all the upcoming paid DLCs, it should be about $40 CAD. Id be happy with a full complete game for $40.
