At current exchange rates a Stark salary should cost a Canadian consumer $125 yet the price is $140. Can anyone explain why.
It’s up to Google and Apple to set the exchange rates. Different taxes for different countries might be applied too.
With current exchange rates a Stark Salary would cost SEK 820 but is priced at SEK 1095. (That’s Swedish Kronor)
The last time they publicly disclosed a pricing update for exchange rates was almost 2 years ago by Hi-Fi. Don’t hold your breath.
VAT & GST are included.
Good ol Hi-Fi “you’re supposed to lose” seems quite prescient there
Euro prices are 110€ or 132 USD. Yes, we pay a third more. No, we don’t get extra goods, or even A/B testing permanent 26k HP or 32k HP to compensate. No, Amazon Coins are not available in my country, nor even Amazon devices. Yes, that is almost 100 USD than a Stark cost Amazon-using US based customers in a tax-free-on-digital-goods region during Digital Day. No, it actually isn’t very fair as far as competition goes. No, they can’t do shit or even care about presenting an even field.
A Stark is €99,99 over here.
At least you get free healthcare. Win some lose some.
Another point for “forum misuse of the “you’re supposed to lose” comment.” Everybody take a drink.
Interesting, I can buy a Stark for SEK 949. That’s… quite the price difference.
Android/Google Play user FWIW.
Not all European countries have free healthcare and you usually pay 30 to 50% income tax to make up for it.
Anyway Stark Salary is 79.99£ in UK, which is a real bargain thanks to the pound’s freefall after Brexit.
Lol,I wish it was $140 here in Canada.after taxes it comes to $158 and change.a Stark is $139.99 before the government gets their cut.
SEK 949 was the price before Apple changed it like a year ago. Like I said Google and Apple sets the exchange rate, not d3/demiurge.
Apple runs a scam. They set the price, no regulations.
They report only to shareholders. The more they take from you better their performance appears.
In Australia, couple of years ago, they jacked prices up 20% under excuse of exchange rate.
Take it or leave it.
For the cost of one stark, you can buy android tablet.
Use amazon App Store and your Starks are half price almost just by doing that.
If you use their special offers as well, it can be as low as 33% of what iOS would charge you.
Thats what I will be doing this week.
A Stark is £79.99 on Android, but £99.99 on Apple.
£79.99 on Steam as well, so it’s obvious Apple is scamming us (apart from paying no taxes that is)!
