- jrockway 5y agoI kind of assumed. You can't just take the price in dollars and convert it with the exchange rate, because customers don't want to buy a "89.398723 yen" app. It has to be $0.99, £0.89, ¥99, etc. It is interesting that things are not priced in "buying power", but in numbers that aim to most deceive. ("It's not even a dollar!")
- nicolas_t 5y agoSteam is very often priced in buying power. Depending on the country you live in, prices can be half as high as in other countries.
- elliekelly 5y agoWhy don’t more digital platforms take this approach? Are they worried people from higher relative income countries will log in with a VPN and buy it cheaper?
- tinus_hn 5y agoThere’s also the often forgotten fact that in many countries the listed prices include VAT while in others they don’t.
