The price is ridiculous in Australia, $120 for a single player game. I love doom. I literally have doom guy tattooed on my body, but that price aint right…. especially when doom Eternal was cracked 2 days after release….they are playing a dangerous game on PC

Ah yes, back to the good old $ = £ ‘they won’t notice’ bullshit.

1/3 of a minimal wage, Bethesda really doesn’t care about local sales

I also love how Valve suggests to fuck Poland even more.
The US median salary is 3-4x more than Poland, but Valve wants us to pay over 20% more for games. Absolutely mental.

The worst part is that people will defend this.

Wait, WTF 80 euros but only 70 dollars. Nah. fuck that.

If you want to play this, get it on gamepass apparently. They’ve absolutely overpriced us aussies hardcore, and that’s the reason they’ve added denuvo as well.
I get the logic, but its still scummy, you’ll sell more copies at a lower price and make even more money than pricing it high like that. This is just pure greed

Publishers are so fucking dumb asking Europeans to pay 80€ for a game
Median salary in some countries is 1000€
Sure some of us live in places where salaries are significantly higher, but when even we are thinking twice about it, then who they think is gonna be buying it in the lower income countries?
dagot23
wtf why is the valve suggested price even higher than Poland’s already increased price???

€80 for a $70 game?
I think I’ll wait for a deep discount and use that money to support several indie developers instead. I’d rather help fund creativity than contribute to another executive’s luxury car collection.

Ah yes south africa at it again getting royally fucked 140% over the suggested.
For reference, R1400 is:
– 46 hours of minimum wage.
– 10 restaurant meals at a decent place.
– a tank of petrol depending on the car.
– 35 pints of beer
– 1 month of 900mbps Internet.
My friends are all single gamers with more disposable income than 90% of the country, and not one of us is buying it. Even despite us all loving the last game. Xbox game pass is the only reason I’ll be playing it on release.
Getherer
Lmfao, £70 does not equal $70 – fuck that.
Looks like Poland is being fucked over as well as per usual.
Thats a no from me
CursedPaw99
surprised to see Poland not being the worst. Normally its just under the UK and Switzerland

Truly the dark ages.

Not paying that price.

for a game i’ll most likely play through once – that’s too much.
D4rkness_M0nk
Just another game that I will be buying in 3 years when it gets a 75% discount
morbihann
Lol, fuck you I am not paying 80 eur for Doom.
edgy_Juno
The only reason I’m gonna be playing this game is because I got it “for free” with the purchase of my GPU. Otherwise, I would sail the Seven Seas.

they did India dirty. +114% . I can buy one month groceries with 70USD in India

As a Brit, I have NEVER understood why games are priced exactly the same in dollars and pounds. Same with consoles. I remember when the Xbox one was being released and the price was released before it came out. An American friend of mine was like “oh wow $499, that means it’ll be like what £300 for you?” And I was like “no, sadly not, it will be £499 because reasons”

Wow they really add 100% for Taiwan :(, yet my brother still preordered
Unhappy_Geologist_94
50 bucks is like half the minimum wage in South Asia, well most people don’t have the hardware or straight up have no idea this is dropping, but still that’s kinda too much in our economy

I like how Indonesia price is comically expensive just hit the maximum 999999
X_irtz
80 Euros? Go fuck yourselves, exorbitant ass pricing. And these fuckers wonder why piracy is an issue. STOP PRICING GAMES SO HIGH!!!
BananaFart96
Yeah, this pricing is madness. Here in Spain:
– Base edition: 79.99€
– Premium edition: 109.99€ lmao

Valve suggested price in BRL is great, the price they choose is awful and expensive AF! It’s almost ¼ of a monthly minimum wage here and Valve suggested price would be almost ⅛, it’s way more palatable for a brand new release at full price
GroundbreakingBag164
The euro pricing is to odd, no other publisher does this. Even EA wouldn’t dare to do this
And the weirdest thing is that even Xbox doesn’t do that. It should just be 70€. This change comes out of nowhere and literally makes no sense at all
South of Midnight, another recent Xbox game costs $40 in the US and 40€ in Europe. That somehow worked without any issues. Source: https://steamdb.info/app/1934570/
Same thing with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, it costs $70 in the US and 70€ in Europe. That wasn’t an issue either. Source: https://steamdb.info/app/2677660/
Why is the next Doom just magically 10€ ($11.30) more expensive in Europe?
I won’t pay $90 for a game Americans only have to pay $70 for

Do you want me to not buy your game on release day? Because this is how you get me to wait for a deep deep DEEP discount.
alancousteau
Ahh yes because 69.99 US dollars is 69.99 British Pounds, suuuuuuuuure. Who sets these prices, Steam?
Edit: Also if I would be pirating games, I wouldn’t feel so bad getting their game free, hypothetically of course.
_AngryBadger_
I’m not paying ZAR 1400 for a game, fuck that nonsense. That’s almost a month of meat from the butcher. Close to 25% of my rent.

why the fuck is Taiwan/India/Saudi prices 2x (or more)

why the hell they cound’t just apply exchange rates versus USD?

why we should pay 96$ in the EU?
in Russia it is 100% off (pirated)
Me who lives in Australia:

Well, guess I’m skipping another overpriced Xbox Games Studios release.
Hmm it’s 18$ for Russia wut?)
Yeh €80 it too much for me im good thank you.
This list is literally why people pirate, don’t play the game at all, or wait for deep discounts.
People would be more inclined to buy new releases if they were priced more appropriately.
