But this is not true. In Poland we don't get cheaper games on release - as few people already said here, we pay the full price. Which actually means we pay 4 times more in comparison to western countries, because PLN is worth usually around 1/4 of Euro, and countries like Germany have their average salary of around 2500 EUR, while for Poland it is around 850 EUR. And still, our games on launch cost the same as for Western countries.
Russia is different topic - their prices for games are actually cheaper, and even in Poland we see a trend for Russian game accounts being sold for pennies.
But EA has thrown us in the same basked, and we in Poland are treated the same as guys from Russia, even though we don't see it in the prices of the games. So how come? By the logic of game prices, we should be in the same basket as Germany, UK and the likes, and have our language available in the same package as they have - so english included. But no. It was the same thing with Mass Effect Andromed (I was so pissed at that). I thought that in few years something would change, but it is all the same, few years later. I am actually starting to wonder if we can sue EA for this on any ground - like unfair treatment of customer.
