I guess I started this snowball, huh.

Anyway, I completely understand from the get-go what and why you are charging different price for different country/region and that must go for Steam and other distributors, large and small. The price variation is most probably a mix of different tax systems and SEGA pricing policy. Finland is one of the heaviest tax collectors of, well, everything.

The larger retailers often sell the certain products in certain sales for break-even or perhaps even more often at a moderate loss. The trick is to get people buying and hope they wind up buying something else with much larger profit margin. Overall that £18 Tesco price is a surefire loss but the other income they get by getting people to visit their stores breaks them even or makes them profit.

Back to staring at Steam or local distributors post-Christmas sales discount %!

Haha, wouldn't have hurt to live over there for that Tesco price! Must be different prices in/for UK/Ireland for FM17 throughout the internet from sortitoutsi to Steam. Steam gives me 41€ price tag. Oh well, thanks for your time and answer Shedender. Again have a real nice day today.

Hi,

Long time fan of your content and a few year premium member here. I assume this is the right place to wonder about the Christmas sale? With any conversion rate I can find, the premium member price doesn't translate into over 30€, yet the shop tells me I should cough up 35€. What's the real deal here?

Must be a busy day for you guys, but thanks if you can fork out a few seconds to reply/solve this.

Merry Christmas,
Mix
