Pricing

Mulliday · 05-29-2009, 09:34 AM

I'm an avid baseball fan, living in the Uk
I played the demo of OOTP9 and loved it, but couldn't understand your pricing. I hoped that you would have solved the problem for OOTP10, but it seems you still haven't.

A resident of the US pays $40 for the game, which equals about 25 British Pounds
A European resident pays 40 Euros for the games, which equals about 35 British Pounds.

Please explain to me how you can justify this? It's distributed digitally now, so surely it can't cost you anything extra?

Probably should be in another forum and I am not answering for the company, but. I have seen this same setup for pricing used in other games/companies. The same reason I heard over and over was because of taxes. Euro taxes are higher so they get charged more. I am not saying this the reason for OOTP doing it this way, just a possible explanation.

Also not a member of the company, but here is a link to last years pricing policy that expalins it:

As others have noted, this is currently our pricing policy. The most current posting we have on this topic can be found here.

We always accept feedback about this, and will take yours into account. For now, however, as this isn't a technical support issue, but a disagreement with our pricing policy, I am going to close this issue.

Thanks very much!
