Why are the $, €, and £ prices all the same number? I live in the US so I make off well, but being an RPS reader I understand how that's a seriously lame thing to do. Consider exchange rates in your prices, pls.

I would definitly pay this price three times even if i would have never played it, just because the market is flooded by tons of garbage and its so long ago that there was a true skillbased game. But now i see that britains need to pay over 154% of the american price. i dont like this increadible sneaky price management, 15,99 Dollars arent 15,99 Pounds. I dont pay for a game only because i want to play, i would only pay if the company deserved my money too. fairness is important to me. With this huge differences the "reduced" UK version would be still much more expensive than BOTH versions without any price reduction. also € to $ calculations sucks. I understand if price is higher because of taxes, and if you want to have a small (!) buffer for variation, but make them fair. i really hate getting decieved.

[*]20% off during the pre-order ($15.99/15,99€/15,99£ instead of $19.99/19,99€/19,99£)
So the pound price is the most expensive of all the prices, If you convert $15.99 to GBP, it would be £10.36
Not quite happy about this, why I should pay more than americans and europeans?

I agree Arrob
I will see what can be done. Since some month the pound is growing up a little compared to Euro, but it is also complicated to adapt. On Canyon, the price was $25 in US, to make it more fair. The currency rate changed, and we adapted a little the price. Pound has been caught in the middle of seeing the american price going do while being linked more to this rate than the euro. With taxe being applied after in USA, it makes it look like even more critical. A £15.99 price, compared to 19.99€ would be better. I don't say we will change it, but at least I will plead the cause of the pound
we are in beta, and it looks like testing everything here

Consider the international game taxation fees, and you'll see, why UK is not the favourite country of game developers.
