game prices $ vs €

Jump to Best Response

Is it just me? I find it very strange that while 1$ is only worth 0.85€, Watch Dogs: Legion a lot more expensive is in €...

 

Watch Dogs: Legion. $59.99 USD or €69.99

WTF???

1$ = 0.85€ ... so it should be $59.99 USD or €50.99

€50.99!!!!! If this will be the case for all games, then this will be over for me and I'll be going back to playstation once ps5 is out! :pouting_face::pouting_face::pouting_face:

@DenC  Besides taxes there are other fees and costs like certifications, etc.

Nevertheless, that's are publisher prices, Stadia has unfortunately no direct way to regulate it. IMHO.

As an European its always the case, with Google or Apple devices, games, etc. pp. :slightly_smiling_face:

I'm curious as well. Is it because there are sales taxes that apply before buying a game in the US? Or is it just money that we in Europe are throwing at Stadia for free?

The USA doesn't include tax in their pricing fafaik. The Netherlands (and i guess most european countries) usually do.

So we need to pay 40% taxes on games?
