Stardock Forums[quote]The 'funny' thing is, I wouldn't be so focussed on DD prices if store prices would be a bit more normal (read: closer to US prices).[/quote] I guess, you just have to wait for exchange rate to go back to 1USD = 1 EUR, like 5 years ago .

I guess digital prices are adjusted to retail prices: If the average price for a retail PC game is 50$ is USA and 50€ in Europe, it makes senses, for the publisher, to keep those regional pricings for digital prices

[quote]No, it actually costs $47,83 (!!) for European Customers, which is pretty ridiculous. Why that diffence to the US?[/quote] Because the publisher (CapCom) has decided that SF IV costs 34.19 EUR for european customers and 35.99 USD for american customers.

[quote]I used to be a very fervent Impulse supporter, but their pricing for european customers simply sucks.[/quote] Given the small * that is near all pricings for european customers, it would have been more accurate to have written: "sadly, the pricing imposed by publishers on the Impulse platform for european customers simply sucks"

[quote]That's a lie ! It's not $35.99 , it is $47.73 (atm) ... for us europeans [/quote] Well, it is now 34.19€ . A few days ago, it was 35.99€, which means a 5% sales off have occurred for europeans customers.

[quote]So thank you stardock.[/quote] As the publisher sets the price (BTW, have you read the small letters associated with the * near the price ), you have the following choice when there are regional restriction for Europe: - Games only published in North america - Games with a regional pricing for Europe, with the publisher generally deciding that 1USD = 1EUR since it will give nearly the retail price used in Europe for that game. If Stardock doesn

[quote]Are you joking or what? 35 euros are *exactly* 50 dollars.[/quote] With the current exchange rate. But if the rate change to 1 euro = 1.3 dollars, will you say that for europeans, the price will change to 46 USD? The point is, for europeans, the price is set in euros, not in dollars.

[quote]Well, just *HERE*:[/quote] Well, the price on Impulse for european isn't 50$. Its is 35.99 euros. BTW, in France, retail PC version of SF4 is 39.99 euros. And from a publisher point of view, it makes sense to ensure that all customers in a given geographic area get the game at the same price. BTW, SF4 on Impulse is english only or is it localized?

[quote]108 hour week? Thats 15.5 hours a day, over 7 days. In the Army I got 1 hour sleep over the same period. So I don't really have any sympathy. [/quote] Well, one of the problem with programming is that you can't put your brain offline. If you do that your productivity will be negative: you will surely spend more time to correct buggy code you have written during the night than you have spend to write it.
