I don't know how many Aussies here watch good game on ABC2 but they brought up an interesting issue. Australians pay much more for games than other countries. Some people prefer to buy games in stores (I one of them) but it seems if you buy online via stores such as steam you can get games much cheaper.
They talked about how people buying games from overseas to get them cheaper can be bad for the Austrlian game distributors and stores but that got me thinking. Sure buying overseas will harm the Australian market but i say do it. We can force the retailers into a form of deficit and they will see it is because it is because games are cheaper overseas. Therefor they will be forced to lower prices. According to GG the reason for the prices are because we ae willing to pay that so show we aren't and prices will drop.
So who will rally to my cause? Will you discuss this topic and find a way to lower game prices? Will you do the right thing for our pockets? Are you tired of paying to much for games? Are you tired of me constantly starting threads?
