[꧁Midnight Bacon꧂]

Is this a joke?

Keep the above in mind for when 100 JPY will be back to about 1 USD, then no one will buy Japanese's games anymore as they will immediately reach 90~100 USD.

Pricing policies are shifting around, for the bad of honest players, because companies found no better way than this against the VPN war.

Get a job dude. Welcome to the real world where entertainment costs money.

That's not how it works. It has never worked like that.

You do know that you can purchase the game from other official stores where the game doesn't cost that much... just saying. I purchased my copy for like 42-43 euros.

That's not how it works bucko. It's not regional pricing if everything is just getting converted from USD 1:1 lol. $95 for the standard edition makes this the most expensive release in Steam history for Canadian currency. It's definitely $15 higher then it should be. At absolute minimum its $5 more then it should be based on other AAA that have dropped in the last 3 months.

Dangerous game these big studios are playing when there has been so many viral hits from indie/AA devs already this year.

Don't quote me, but the one above that post, I'm just mocking their flawed concept.

Isn't capitalism wonderful, gamers player base is larger than its ever been, publishing costs next to nothing since there's nothing to ship just 1's and 0's over the air, and instead of lowering prices they keep going up, best yet snobs come on here to dunk on the poor, god bless.

Always a pleasure when corporate shareholders and executives get involved with game development, just a win-win scenario, for them, they get both wins.

No need to hoist the sails just yet, they aren't dumb enough to get rid of the discounts just yet and it's hilarious to see the butt hurt looks on peoples faces that paid full price and a couple month's later are upset about it being half off.

Edit: It's almost poetic that monster hunter world is right next to it on the top sellers list at $13 LOL

[~ Fabulous ~]

its like buying 41 pineapples in my country lol

it is how it works and it's not supposed to be regional pricing

I mean your wrong but your a nobody on the internet so I guess believe whatever you want? Regional pricing is in fact, the standard which Steam operates on, which is why some regions pay $20USD worth of local currency for a brand new AAA game. This is what allows someone in the 3rd world to potentially pay for a game they wouldn't be able to afford with a 1:1 exchange rate. Which is also why Steam actively works to prevent users from buying games in other regions. A simple google search is all it takes my guy.

Your also wrong about your second point, no AAA game based on the $70 USD new standard has been released above $90CAD, not once, not ever. Suicide Squad was released 2 weeks ago, is priced at $89.99.

You don't know anything. Go play a game or something.
