(XBOX)mickeyjuiceman Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Tennocon page says AU$21.99 Clicking through to the AU XBOX store shows AU$26.95 Not even close to the same thing. This is simple stuff. Not sure why DE is so terrible at communications, but hiring a professional would be a good start, as comms issues happen way too often.

lightdragon64 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Well (assuming you mean Australia by AU) the prices might not at all be in DE's control considering that Australia taxes the hell out of games. Second all their donation's go to charity, and xbox (and playstation) take a cut of any transaction that goes through them. If DE want's the amount donated to be the same regardless of what platform it goes through they will need to raise the price so that the cut that Microsoft or Playstation takes dosen't impact the total donation.

(PSN)reddragonhrcro Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yeah, think taxes may have a play in it. Checked the PSN store and here it's close to $30 USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could post in the correct place and garner respect and admiration of their peers for not contributing to the clutter of the forums due to a lack of com mods.

(XBOX)Jay5446 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Maybe it's PC price and console price respectively? As in, the PC price is shown in link pictures, and the actual price is displayed once the link is clicked? Mine said 13.99 to go up to 16.99 in the Microsoft store.

So simple you are telling them to hire a professional. At "communications". "Comms issues" happen way too often. You are telling them to hire PR? What does a PR person do about web page copy or store pricing, specifically international pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't expect DE to do anything then why bother making the thread? So that someone else who has the same issue but actually wants to get it resolved can post in the feedback section? Why not just post there in the first place? Edited April 6, 2018 by DeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kinda how value-added tax works, especially if you're making an international transaction. DE offers you the item at x price, your government says you must also pay x in taxes. DE has no control over the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
