What gets to me is that Canada is being treated like a developing country whose citizens don't have much discretionary income and who thus need a discount to afford the game. Because that's how they treat other developing countries:
Poles & Czechs pay 43.59 USD
Mexicans & Brazilians pay 44.99 USD
Russians pay 15.79 USD
On the other end of the spectrum, in developed countries:
Europeans pay 65.39 USD
Aussies pay 63.41 USD
Brits pay 72.13 USD
Now, Canadians pay 46.99 USD. Hmm, within which of the two above groups does that fit best? You tell me.
"lol are you really upset that you're being charged less?" Yes, yes I am. I want to know why I'm being lumped in with poor countries.
You cannot claim it's due to the weak Canadian dollar, since the Australian dollar almost exactly parallels the CAD in deterioration and value.
Speaking of which, why does every developed country get to use their own currency? You can't claim it's because there aren't enough Canadians to bother, since Australians get to use their own currency yet there are fewer Australians than there are Canadians.
This all reeks of "lol canada, that dump? charge them a pittance, the poor things, how else could they afford it?"
Tell me I'm wrong. Give me an explanation, someone, because until now I had nothing negative to say about CDPR or GOG.
