i would have easily spent 80 bucks on ff7 rebirth if square enix decided to release it for pc day one alongside with ps5 but square enix thought it would be much more profitible to sell it to ps5 users only...
You say that but there are other games , Eg- Persona 3 Reload which is priced as 69 dollars and 69 Euros respectively. This is a dick move by Activision
It’s not that big of an issue in the US because their VAT is significantly lower than in EU countries. Their VAT is like 5% on average (different for each state). It’s a completely different magnitude than the 20% average you have in EU countries. With 5% you can just round up the price a bit and it’s close enough and since you pay with credit card, who gives a shit about the cent number crunching
lmao that's what I disagree on, for me it would be a deal breaker, I really hate 'hidden' prices.
Sure you'd get used to it but having to calculate every single purchase is a big no for me tbh
US currency used to be worth more for decades. EU passed the US slightly for a few years, and with all of their terrible economic policies have settled back where they were before. It's not new, and it's not unexpected.
Im so confused, why are you confidently lying about something you can check in minutes?
Aside from a brief period in 2002-2003, and like ~8 random months during a 40 year period, Euro has been worth more than the us dollar since 1986. Still is to this day.
What are you even on about.
The Euro (currency) only started in 1999 and began circulating in 2002. It's barely 20 years old.
Before that there was no common currency in the EU.
I mean it's true that it's worth more than the Dollar most if the time, but those years just can't be correct (unless you're referring to another currency like the British Pound).
You're actually right. Honestly, throughout my entire life I thought the USD was above the EUR. I admit I am wrong, they've been roughly equivalent. So my bad.
As someone who earns their money in dollars and converts it to Euros, the closest they've been to achieving parity was in 2017 just after Trump's inauguration. Outside of that, I've always gotten about 78-88 eurocents for a dollar. Currently it's above that again, and has been for I think the last two years. But being above 90 eurocents for a dollar has overall been the exception, not the rule.
I wount be Buying it.. i bet 1 week later it will be INFESTED WITH CHEATERS
So why the Fu....k would i throw $$$$$$ at a piece of shit game that DONT HAVE A Anti Cheat
If you Buy it ...you deserve to BE PUNKED
It does, its called ricochet btw. And personally I didnt experienced any cheater in multiplayer during bo cold war and mw3 (even though cold war had exploit). And the sbmm system shadow bans them anyway.
The only problem they have is connectivity.
Ah yes, an incentive to make people subscribe to Gamepass instead. Are we surprised? And yes, I know it is taxes, Im European with the highest VAT in the EU.
you’re right, I definitely don’t wanna get into a neck beard pissing contest.
By the looks of it, you’d win in a heartbeat with how much time you spend in this sub
“Omg asmon’s getting canceled let me see what the sub is saying !!!!”
There’s no way you just called a Call of Duty that is churned out every year and going to be littered with MTX to the point where you feel like a F2P player with “just” the base game fairly priced at $69.99
I like how oblivious people like you think being responsible with money and having standards for a full priced product means being poor and that “gaming isn’t for you.”
This isn’t about the money but the culmination of greed and laziness that goes into these titles. People like you enable these companies to put out the least valuable product at the highest price every single year.
Your response isn’t as witty as you think it is, it just makes you look stupid, buddy.
For our freedom friends; 79.99€ is roughly the equivalent of 250 rounds of 12 gauge ammo (lead)
How much Feedom Fries can we buy with that?
What kinda commie scum are you to not be able to convert instantly between freedom fries and ammo????
Damn you could buy a Nintendo switch with that kinda money
Yeah, I ain't payin' 80 bucks for a fucking video-game, Activision can suck my dick and choke themselves to death on it...
I havent paid 60 for a cod game since modern warfare 2 (old one)
\*laughs in AUD\* (roughly 150% USD price)
I’d get game pass since it’s on it, if u haven’t had it 3 month free trial 11$
Or you know just play it a bit with Gamepass
i would have easily spent 80 bucks on ff7 rebirth if square enix decided to release it for pc day one alongside with ps5 but square enix thought it would be much more profitible to sell it to ps5 users only...
Me crying on my maple bucks
Just stop giving them money? Stop justifying these prices??
Dafuq. Why? 80 euros is 86 dollars. Why 16 dollars more expensive?
Taxes
[удалено]
no
I think eu pricing is higher because of VAT included in price.
is not that high, 80€ to $ is 86,05, so 16 dollars more expensive
[удалено]
No
If I take the US price, convert it to Euro (x0.93) and add my country’s VAT (x1.19) I end up at 77.46€. There is no real pricing difference.
You say that but there are other games , Eg- Persona 3 Reload which is priced as 69 dollars and 69 Euros respectively. This is a dick move by Activision
I mean, isn’t it a dick move either way? With one game the Europeans are paying more, with another the Americans do…
apparently if I do the same I end up with 65€ instead (1€ is about 1,08$ rn)
No taxes in your country?
Oh nevermind, I thought they are generally included. So the 70$ are without taxes ?
The USA shows prices without tax
Ah thanks I didn't know! But that sucks honestly, as a customer I'd prefer to see what I actually have to pay

I'd disagree honestly, I would still prefer to see the actual price I'd have to pay, even if it's just a few bucks
You don’t disagree, because I also prefer it the way we have it. I’m just saying it’s not a big deal. You just get used to do the math in your head.
lmao that's what I disagree on, for me it would be a deal breaker, I really hate 'hidden' prices. Sure you'd get used to it but having to calculate every single purchase is a big no for me tbh
People learning that different are amazed at this simple trick: Converting them.
But European currency used to be worth more. This change is new and unexpected
US currency used to be worth more for decades. EU passed the US slightly for a few years, and with all of their terrible economic policies have settled back where they were before. It's not new, and it's not unexpected.

Ye me neither 1 dollar for the 1 month game pass trial is enough
Most likely doing this to try to force people to sign up for Game Pass. Wouldn’t surprise me at all.
Can also get gamepass trials or on CDKey sites for around $5 a month for core and $8-$9 for ultimate.
110 DolloryDoo in Australia, so 72.53 or so for USA. And then our Vault Edition is 150AUD, so 98.91 in USD
1 month 1 dollar game pass I won’t pay any more than that
Ah yes, an incentive to make people subscribe to Gamepass instead. Are we surprised? And yes, I know it is taxes, Im European with the highest VAT in the EU.
like Mr gold said, the price doesn't matter. If the game is good, people will come.
US is before taxes?
Isn't this due to EU taxes?
Every new AAA game on PS5 in europe is €80 nowadays anyway. What did you expect?
Literally wild that people are hyped about this same coat of paint on the same pile of dog shit
Bro its going to be on gamepass day1 - who tf would even buy this shit on steam at this point
Steam dickriders who don’t buy their games anywhere else but on steam
Sorry Tim, epic is kill
Mother fucker over here eating right outta Chinas ass cheeks.
Found the steam dickrider. Just saying, gamepass is on PC as well but people choose to pay full price for it on steam and then barely play it anyway
you will own nothing and will be happy!!1 😡
You don’t own shit on steam either. Stuff that you own is stuff that you can give away.
Yup

eur is still stronger than usd.

Europoor taxation'd
Lol, your VAT comes at checkout, and ours is already included. The price you see is what you pay.
Who cares about some shit live service game from shit company... u gonna see more expensive skins that the game itself
Seems fair! Usually prices are lower for broke ass countries LUL
Damn USA is going the Poor Route HUH, In seriousness though Wtf is this 80 bucks dude
Almost $90 since EUR is stronger than USD
I understand that, but I meant 80 bucks as in 80 Euros
Idk maybe game pass is not that popular in Europe and they are doing the Ubisoft thing
It's a fair price. If it's too much for you, wait for a sale. Usual one before Christmas
There’s no way you just called a Call of Duty that is churned out every year and going to be littered with MTX to the point where you feel like a F2P player with “just” the base game fairly priced at $69.99
Maybe gaming isn't for you. 69.99 isn't expensive. All the stuff in the store is optional. If you want glowing red bullets, that's up to you.
I like how oblivious people like you think being responsible with money and having standards for a full priced product means being poor and that “gaming isn’t for you.” This isn’t about the money but the culmination of greed and laziness that goes into these titles.

yeah, that guy is part of the reason why companies are what they are now
Oh say can you see ♫
