Battlefield 4 price in certain countries

Hello guys,how are you doing, I hope you are doing well. Today I'am here to ask you about something unusual, well the thing is about how you price your games in certain countries, so lets say Indina and Mexico have much lower prices for Battlefield games then lets say France,Germany etc.So I'am here to say that another country needs a system like that.The country is Bosnia and Herzegovina, many never even heard of us or think there is still war going on here but I don't mind you. Bosnia is lets say a very poor country even tough we have many natural resources etc.But the thing is we can't really aford games like that lets say like BF4 which costs 59€ the same as in Germany, where the gdp per capita in Bosnia is 3,364 € and in Germany gdp per capita is 29,430 €.The usually payment per month in Bosnia is around 350-400€ and in Germany is around 2000-2500€.So you I hope you get what I'am here trying to say. Battlefield 4 is just too expensive for us.Me and a few of my friends are BF fans for a long time, but with every game that comes out is getting harder and harder.And there is the PC parts which are expensive as hell around 20% more in Germany and if you want to play BF4 you need a good PC.So I'am asking please do something for us regarding BF4 prices in my country,there are many BF players here but with every new game there are less and less becasue of prices.I hope I didn't bother you too much.If you can't do anything about this please foward this message to someone at EA/DICE who is responsible or a specialist for this kind of job.THANK YOU

  • First of all, I moved your post to the BF4 part of the forum.

    Secondly, this is a community driven support forum. You are not asking a question, which is the whole point of this place. Also, nobody in here can affect your prices. I do understand you want cheaper games, I do too 🙂

    Btw, while your gpd argument is good, I don't think it's really relevant for a game selling company. The most importing thing is the total income of the sales - so if selling the game for 60euro earns more overall money than selling it for 30euro, the game will probably be sold at the high price. Also, if people can afford a gaming pc/console that is able to run the game, they probably can afford the games for it too, which makes it illogical to lower the price. Lastly, selling the game cheaper in the middle of Europe could cause alot of problems I'd imagine - for the game not to be exported to the surrounding countries the game will have to be localized into Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian and made into a seperate version only sold in these countries. This costs money and Bosnia and Herzegovina is probably not large enough a market to be worth it. In other words, it's probably not worth the hassle to do this.

     

    Anyways, if you actually do get cheap copies, send one to me :D
