GTA 5 TURKEY PRICES ARE TOO DAMN HIGH

I checked the prices by countries and this list is valid. I really wanna know what are the factors in the determination of the prices. Cause I can't understand this difference. Price difference by currency is funny cause the only service you are holding is visa. I dont know the business scope that I might be wrong.

Even I agree with your nonsense price range which I dont. I still dont get it that Turkish Lira ****. You promised us a low prices which we accepted in greediness. Actually there was nothing to accept cause you are the kings and you can do whatever you want . Back to the point, I can understand the norway could have higher prices cause of higher standart of life and most importantly higher wages. But In turkey we are talking about Turkey, man. I can't even compare that wages cause thats all funny.

In conclusion, I think you guys want to delete your image on our mind. I don't know whats happening or who's getting rich by this but use your freaking head. Or this is going back to all the way to the cd key thing or even back to the piracy.

Peace.

I told ya that I can be wrong. But I really wanna know how did they set it.

So you say publisher sets the prices. So how other platforms can sell it cheaper?

Normal stores purchase stock of an item. They purchase it for 'x' amount and will get an RRP to sell it for, but they can really sell it for what they want. The sellers have been paid for their stock, they have their money.

On Steam, there is no 'stock'. The store page is just a front for the publishers to sell their items. When an item is sold, Valve takes a cut of the money and the rest goes to the publishers. It could be that due to this cut, publishers raise the prices so they get as much money as they can. Publishers log in, control the text on the page, the amounts, each currency amount individually.

Valve suggests a price, but it's the publishers that set it. (This isn't just on Steam, a lot of online stores work this way)

God it's awful. Rockstar is just kidding with Turkey then. I will go for cd key options which I'm able to buy and play with lower prices. Anyway thanks for detailed response.

As far as I know for Turkey prices;

you can blame Aral ithalat or side business of theirs aral game(distributing) for price shoot-up since Steam added Turkish lira as currecy options according to many forum news that publishes for gaming, Aral mailed/warned them that prices were too low and not profitable or some such nonsense.

Aral was already in the process of shafting Turkish gamers with absurd pricing. Which only refuge for consumers left untouched by the great shafting was Steam until TL added and Aral decided to "axe" the competition...

They are getting absurd amount of profit out of this robbery in most basic sense.
