Really? No wonder they jack up prices there to an extreme degree. |
That's not a real excuse. You still have to buy a copy first.

Milions are subscribed to netflix while they used to download series and others buy and play games trough steam while they used to pirate games. |
Allot of companies, especially video games... They tend to charge the maximum the market will handle.
Australia having a high minimum wage ($17.70 an hour) and average wage... Doesn't help the situation.
And the reason why the pricing disparity became such a massive issue was the Australian Dollar was almost 40% higher than the American during the GFC. But prices on video games didn't change a single bit... Compounded by the fact that the internet made pricing so easy to compare between countries.
Now that our dollar is worth almost 25% less, it's not as much of a problem.
