Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Complete 10,99€, but separately 8,48€ WTF again Steam?

Closed

Steam is trying to make money from us again, they sell Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition for 4,99€ and Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Complete Pack for 10,99€, but if you buy the games for 4,99€ + just the DLCs SSF IV: Arcade Edition - All-in Costume Pack for 3,49€ it will cost you 8,48€, they are trying to trick ppl to buy the complete pack for 2,51€ more, also the "SSF IV: Arcade Edition - All-in Costume Pack" is located more down that other packs, so some ppl may not see it. Be careful if you're buying that, seems this not affects US prices, only EUs, and for RU is just "not available" in their region, but if is not available, you can get it by trade, you can have it, but not buy it.

if you like to see EU prices just put this for example "?cc=es" after link, like that store.steampowered.com/app/45760/?cc=es es is for Spain prices, but they're the same in all europe I guess.

4-pack is more expensive than 4x single game.

Yes if buying 4 copies separately cost 0,78€ less, but in US is a fair price buying separately cost more that 29$ and the 4pack around 22$, just the game cost 7,49$ which is 5,6€ aproximately, so in Europe it cost less :D

They're fair in this particular game, no 1$=1€, but only if buying correctly or just buying the game, so 8 DLCs pack + Game in Europe cost the same as the Complete pack in US.

+1, I was thinking of getting it but then I additionally found out it requires GFWL (which I've had bad experience with).

It was a bit silly seeing that the base game and the DLC bundle purchased separately was a little less than the Complete pack. (With US pricing, the Complete pack at full price is $2 more than the base game plus the All-In costume pack.)

On the other hand, I still have to give it credit for being one of the few, if not only, games I've ever seen that actually sells the DLC on its own in a reduced price bundle. Most games with a lot of DLC effectively punish people for buying the base game, and there is no reason at all to buy the base game later, not when a Complete version can cost less than the DLC alone.

I bet when they dropped SSFIVAE from $40 to $30, they forgot to lower the price for the complete pack, resulting in a higher price than everything combined

Haha, I was just in the process of buying this:

£7.49 for the complete pack, or £6.48 for the game and the "All DLC" pack. Silly Steam.

Not quite that drastic in US, but still off a little.

Base Game (7.49) + Costume Pack (3.74) = 11.23
Complete Edition = 11.99

Maybe some people want to pay 76¢ for the benefit of not having to add 2 things to their shopping cart.

I had that game for ps3. I don't even know why I bought it then, but I'm sure I wouldn't buy it again now (yesterday). It's hard as hell, with some super human timings xD

I'll wait for mortal kombat :P
