Oh shit this is good news, I looked at it yesterday and it’s $120 here and instantly thought fuck that I’ll wait until it’s cracked

learningduck ,

What kind of country are you in that a game cost $120!?

Probably a country where the dollars are worth a different amount.

Mr_Blott ,

Metric dollars Vs imperial

Selmafudd ,

Australia, they love price gouging us here. Just went and checked steam again, the premium version is $170…

learningduck ,

Just curious. It’s it because of tax/vat or just everything being expensive?

There’s a lot that goes into an Australian release. Shipping all those bits to the bottom of the world is outrageously expensive. All of the map geometry has to be altered to be right-side up there. The physics math has to be re-coded to deal with -1g gravity. Somebody has to be paid to go through all of the scripts to replace every instance of “jelly” with “marmite”. Asset loading code has to be changed to compensate for the Coriolis effect.

All of this adds up to expensive Au ports, the new costs often overshadowing the title’s original development costs.

escapesamsara ,

Close, it’s really because you need to flip all those bits upside down so they can be read properly by the computers down there.

learningduck ,

Good one 😂

Best comment here by far lmao

How much is game pass on Australia?

Dave ,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

This site says $11.95AUD, the equivalent of $7.72USD.

As for the $170 premium version, that’s $170AUD. Australia has 10% GST (VAT) so 170/110*100 = $154.55AUD excluding tax.

$154AUD is $99.64USD.

They aren’t getting gouged, well, at least not worse than US customers.

Tagger ,

thanks

Yeah I have Game Pass so I was pretty keen to play the early access but when I found out it was $170, just to play 5 days earlier? No fucking thank you.

I’m spending that money on an SSD because my partner bought the deluxe version and running it on my computer is arse. My computer isn’t even that bad!

dan1101 ,

How much is a decent middle class income in Australia? I’d say it’s about $45,000 per year in the US.

Selmafudd ,

Average is 90k, median salary is 80k

dan1101 ,

So higher relative income in Australia.

How much is 4 liters of milk and 4 liters of petrol in Australia? 4 liters because that about equals a US gallon which is our usual measurement for those things.

In the US right now a gallon of milk is about $2.65 and a gallon of petrol is about $3.80.

Selmafudd ,

I donno about cow milk maybe $5-6 is my guess, petrol is like $7-8

dan1101 ,

So it seems like the scale is just higher in Australia. As of today 1 USD = 1.55 AUD

sweeny ,

The real cost of gas and milk is the environment

Lol, without reading the caption I just assumed this was a shit post comparing Johnny Depp’s likeliness to Jack Sparrow, and I laughed pretty hard at that.

3 command prompt windows pop up in the background and quickly disappear.

doggle ,

Yeah as long as you don’t play more than 2 hrs, Is that long enought to really benchmark it? I’ve been hearing it takes a few hours at least to really get into the open areas

drew_belloc ,
@drew_belloc@programming.dev avatar

It was just a joke, for most games is hard to know if they are good or not in just 2 hours, in some jrpgs you are still in the tutorial in that point, at least is really usefull if the game is not running well or at all

Meanwhile, I’m just happy to see quality content on GamePass again.

StimpyMGS ,

You misspelled cash cow content

MeatsOfRage ,

Right? Looks like their Bethesda purchase was the best investment for new content. Starfield, Hi Fi Rush, the Quake II remaster (we don’t talk about Redfall).

Well, they are owned by Microsoft after all… Ramming AI into everything is all they’ve done in the last year or two (see edge, office etc).
