Arkham Origins awful pricing

Closed
Pangalaktichki

Seems like WB games thinks people in Europe fart money or something, just look at the ridiculous price difference

Hilarious part is that, in retail, this game is around 30eur. And it's going to be a steamworks title.

Instead of gouging AU/NZ ($50 USD here) it's EU's turn! What a pleasant change of surprise :)

Lot's of games are more expensive in Europe than in US/UK/RU. It's nothing new.

its pleasant that its someone else other than nz and au FOR A CHANGE.. its nice to know other countries occasionally get screwed worse than we do.

but believe me, no one hates valves support of price gouging more than me.

Not at the moment, it doesn't. They could always add one later, but that's just speculation for now :P

Yeah, it is a big price, but don't all new AAA games have that price?(Except CoD witch is like 60 euros).

Yeah, but why should we pay 10eur more than US or UK? I don't see any reasoning behind this. It's the same game for all regions, we all get it in at least English language (I'd acutally hate games being translated to my native language).

VAT doesn't need to be added in the US and games are almost always cheeaper in the UK.

If it isn't region locked and it's steamworks, you can get it for some €32 on Nuuvem :)

This is happening since I got memory. Europe is normally the last wagon train in prices, time, translations, releases etc...

£30 isn't really excessive for a brand new game.

Where I live, it can hardly be called Europe. I mean, geographically, my country IS in Europe, just the standard and salaries are sub-par.

actually it's quite a nice pricing! Europeans are saving 4 € compared to the usual 1$ = 1 € pricing point.

I don't see where your hate is coming from...
