No we don't.

1. We're not paid in US dollars.

2. The majority of Canadians earn significantly less than the median wage in the USA, therefore $1 means more to the majority of Canadians than $1 means to the average American. Higher prices really hurt the bottom 80% of the Canadian population.

3. Everything, from eggs to technology, is more expensive here.

4. Our healthcare is far from free. So very, very far. It's just not as abusive as the US system, yet.

I posted this previously in a different thread. At the time, I looked up data from Stats Canada and US sources. Truly, we Canadians are just poor Americans who pay more for everything.

What the hell is up with graphics card prices?

Ive never seen the cards go past 2000% msrp. Thats a huge red flag on top of many red flags.

I feel bad for anyone that is forced to upgrade their cards just to be able to meet minimum system requirements.

Currency conversions, rounding and general economies and proximity. The game is $70 usd. You get it at a slight discount due to the value differences mentioned before.

You can get a card under msrp right now that is within specs of the game with a copy included for under $300 usd right now,

Because regional pricing. It's not just currency conversion and local taxes - if you look at $70US games on Steam, they all end up at different prices in other countries depending on the whims of the publishers, the phase of the moon, sunspot activity, and who knows what else. Australia, for example, those $70US games are anything from $100 to $120 depending on publisher.

like i said, new standard. More and more AAA games will turn over to that price and nothing will stop it.
Either (sadly) accept it or wait for every future game to get on sale.

What the hell is with grocery prices these days? I've never seen the price of a dozen eggs go past $1.25. That's a huge red flag on the Eggland legacy. I feel sorry for anyone who has to eat breakfast these days.
