Hey guys, resident limey here.
Just wanted to let you know, I really want to buy your game, and i’m not sure if i’m alone in this but 5.99 is too expensive in UK money.

Maybe I’m wrong, or maybe there’s some microsoft reason keeping it at that price, but I won’t buy it until it’s 3.99 or lower - It’s just too much for a windows app in my eyes

I really want this game, and i’m not expecting you to lower the price just for me. But if you’re experiencing low sales in the UK, then this might be why :wink:

Good luck, I sincerely hope your business goes far!

It´s not a windows store specific app, you can also buy it through fastspring / directly from them.
And no, It is not overpriced in Punds. USD price close to = GBP and EUR prices.

£5.99 is too high? Not really!

#4

Uk price when bought directly from the website ended up being around £6.80 when i purchased it. Although i was a little disappointed it differed from the £5.99 original advertisement i realised that the quoted price was minus VAT. I still think the £6.80 was a good price for something that will give a good few hours enjoyment.

Yeah, they should have added the taxes… I think it is even illegal in some countries to not display the AfterTax pricedirectly (afaik in Germany)

In the screen before it says 6.49 €… (After selecting Germany which should be obvious how much tax it will cost)

I am from the UK, and it is worth the money. I think it is quite well priced :slight_smile:

#7

It is easily worth the money. The 6.99 is very cheap for how big the game is.

#8

The game is extremely cheap considering it has a lot of content and is published by an indie developer. I could pay at least 20€ from this game, so I don’t see the real reason why you guys say it’s too expensive.

#9

Lol 5.99 is great. I’m sorry that you are poor. Considering some games are like $40 I think they got this just right.

#10

You can also buy the game in USD if you want to and let paypal (or your bank depending how you configured it) do the currency change.

There is ALWAYS way.

#11

Have to agree with others here, I’m in the UK and purchased it through their site. I love the game and have already spent many hours on it, easily worth the money.

I also believe that in Germany you have to explicitly display tax. IIRC I ran into this problem with my former webshop. Better check that one, lawyers are lurking on every corner waiting to make a quick buck.
