Store purchases 30 % Cheaper in Dollar vs Euro

Hi fellow swgoh players,
I recently found out that Store purchases are 30% more expensive for Players paying with Euro compared to Players paying in Dollars.
I Think ist unfair since Purchasing Power und Wealth Standards are quite Equal in Europe and USA.
What do you Think.
Cheers masterhedge
  • It’s not as easy as that. International purchases have a whole set of added fees that get applied. It’s not just this game, unforunately, but the exact details are over my head.
  • Besides currency fluctuations most European countries have 21% VAT added which adds to the more expensive price.

    Not to mention the likely exchange costs. It's more expensive to conduct international business. That cost gets passed along.

    In Australia its 50-70% more exp. Bad pricing leads to bad sales.
  • Is that Racism?
    There is no other Economical explanation.
    And the answer that they cannot frequently adapt to the fx market is just lame!
