@critialcloudkicker 10€ for a pint of icecream? wtf

@quetzalcoatl there is no mass market for it down here because its so expensive, which makes it a luxury item, which makes it not being bought as much...

@critialcloudkicker Wait, hold on. 10 Euros, which for the US, would be ~14 USD, for a PINT of ice cream. It must be quite fancy, because if I'm not mistaken, we can buy Blue Bell for about 3.49 here, which is about 2.46 Euros.

@ickus welcome to the wonderfull world of economics... next up... 1 USD = 1 euro policy handled by game developers ever since duke nukem 3D and ever since Steam became REALLY OBVIOUS !

@critialcloudkicker USD to Euro is actually quite close to 1 = 1. 1 Euro is roughly 1.40 USD.

@ickus Still makes our games more expensive for no reason.

@flaxx @criticalcloudkicker I'd argue that given the difference between the EU Euro and US Dollar, that products as well would be priced accordingly. If a game in Europe was priced the same amount as it is in US, the company is technically recieving less income.
-
@ickus Wait... How can they receive less money if we pay the same worth of money, but in a different currency? If you buy something for 10 USD, and we buy the same thing and pay 7.2 (or whatever), they don't earn less money.

@flaxx 7.2 €, that is.

@flaxx I meant as in same base price. Imagine a video game, 60 Dollars in Europe. If they sold it for the same 60 Dollars in the US, they'd gain less income from sales than they would in Europe. Although, I guess my argument could be denied via individuals and the amount of money available..

@ickus and here you make the critical fault of both misspelling my name and telling me that its "fair" to overprice games and whatnot across the great ocean just because you can get away with it. No its not fair, it is however brilliant, selling the same product somewhere else for 40% more income, not sure where the money goes, probably research and development towards "can we even release this game abroad" but even then you can immagine I am not pleased with the whole ordeal

@ickus I enjoy paying 40% more for a newrelease game... that means I can only buy 5 whereas you can buy 6 with the same money... yes thats right, I am muddying things up with fancy mathmatics :D
