Frontier are not known for good pricing lol

It's probably "expensive" in your country because the currency in your country is not doing so good compared to other countries around the world.

I guess the USA dollar is not doing as good as I thought.

In USD, it's $45 for normal edition & 55 for Deluxe Edition. That's relatively cheap considering retail games are normally $60 for normal edition these days, and $70+ for the special ones.

You are correct. In my country, it costs 440 728. A lot. You could get your family a buffet and STILL have some for takeaway. And my family's ain't the richest guys in the neighborhood, so money must be allocated to somewhere more important.

The value of money is relative; it can be either cheap or expensive to people, depending on where they are and what job they are. People need to think about it.

Oh, and Kitty, my country's doing quite well despite the money inflation, thank you.

In Australia it's $64.95 AUD for the Standard Edition and $78.95AUD For the Deluxe Edition.

How does that compare to a PS4 or Xbox One game? Standard & Special editions?

sjb: Indonesia, where 1 USD = Rp 14 100.

I converted that on XE.com, it comes out to about $31.15 USD

Every country's economy system is different, if that can buy you a whole family buffet, that's amazing. That's like a single person's dinner at a nice restaurant in the US.

And the amount comes out to be less than what the game sells for to Americans, which is $45 USD, and 55 for Deluxe Edition.

give you an idea that $78 in AUD is pretty much a very decent main meal at a quality joint and even then most games usually retail for like $90-100 AUD on consoles here.

[Mythical Ostrich]

It isn't. The deluxe edition is the same price as an average new release.

Are you trying to compare zoo tycoon pricing to Planet Zoo? That makes no sense.
