I would love to buy Civilization V, even on Steam. I've bought every previous version of this franchise, including on the consoles.
But I'm not a sucker. I will not be completely and utterly gouged.
The Steam store is demanding 80 US dollars for Civ V, compared with 50 US dollars to American purchasers. A SIXTY PERCENT MARKUP. Same currency. Same digital product. No extra costs for you, save the 10% GST (which should push the price to 55 USD, not 80).
So justify turning fifty into eighty. Give us your lame corporate justification for ripping off Australians so much.
And Australians - if you don't have a relative overseas who can gift it to you, please make sure you buy it from PlayAsia or something. If you buy it locally, you're rewarding the local distributor that has demanded this ridiculous markup.
