Why do video games cost more in Australia than in the USA?

Tax for being shit heads.

shipping basically

$120 was = $60 in the 90s
now it's equal to ~$80

nogunz to fight back
not even joking

because they will still buy them but they are too irrelevant for the backlash to matter.

so I can justify pirating games

We've always had a tax on nice things even going back to paying through the arse for records back in the 60s and 70s

With current currency exchange rates, aren't they the same? 80 USD is about 120 AUD. I think games just seem expensive because the cost of living in general is higher in Aus than the US so people have less disposable income, but games themselves are like 3 or 4 hours of minimum wage compared to 8-10 hours in the US.

200GB games is essentially DRM with Aussie internets

Shipping all those gigabits across the ocean isn’t easy

>200GB
literally takes a full 24 hours to download for most people and if they have a data cap would eat almost an entire months worth of internet for a single game
so you arent wrong.
