Support staff and localised service centres still need to be paid for somehow. Also, sales staff, business liaisons, legal staff to deal with local laws and regulations, all the managers to manage them, etc. With a smaller potential userbase in Aus, they can't subsidise the support costs across as many people, so maybe that's why they charge more.
- bitserf 13y agoThose are the Adobe responses to Australian government when queried about the discrepancy, correct. Not sure how much localisation is required since Australia, like New Zealand, is an English speaking Western democratic country. Pretty sure we could understand US vernacular and cultural differences. Call it what it is: Discriminatory pricing because they think that is what the market will bear. Fine, but I feel free to work around it as well.
