As I've mentioned in another thread, CCP has no power to change the price. It does have influence, however.
This thread was brought up a few months ago, and GM's said they were to look into it.
The best course of action is not to bother CCP about it, as going through a middle man means intentions and prices may be mixed up, but instead to send emails directly to CCP, to get your friends to do it, and to send emails about it to your local politician. They have much more influence than CCP does, and should you get enough people to be aware of the problem, Sony will have to act. |

I have been playing EVE since 2003 and yes we do get prices based on US dollars but the freaking exchange rate do not increase the price by 50% there !!! Do you have "special" exchange rate for DUST?!
Man,increase from $100 to $149 and you blame the exchange rate... Pull yourself together Mr GM.
Are you for real or are you trolling?
Seriously, if you had read that properly, you would have read that Sony changes the prices. If you had read the thread, you would have realised that Sony is the reason that there's a huge price discrepancy.
Thanks for your time. |

No. Once again you're jumping to illogical conclusions. Given that PSN is the sole distribution platform, and that Dust514 represents a significant financial and brand investment on the part of CCP you are assuming that their channel-partner agreement with SOE is as follows:
"We CCP, recommend you the publisher (SOE) retail our product at a certain price, but you can really sell if for whatever price you feel like".
Does that really sound like a realistic scenario? CCP putting the survival of Dust514 at the hands of SOE arbitrary pricing? It takes two to tango, whatever price SOE is selling for is at the permission of CCP. It may very well be too late for CCP to affect this issue given that agreements have already been made, but that doesn't let them off the hook or remove their responsibility to their fans in ALL regions.
It's more like, "We, CCP, have developed a game exclusively for your platform, and you've gone out of your way to provide us with the tools necessary for us to succeed on this platform. We thank you for this. Also, thank you for using your servers to distribute our game. In return, we'll allow you to raise the prices in accordance with other prices in that region for your own take."
All games in the Oceania region are overpriced on PSN. Not just CCP's. Go ahead, compare it. Most NZ and Aussie gamers complain that they have to pay 50% more than everyone else across all games, all platforms, not just DUST.
Again, don't try to pin the blame on CCP when CCP has fair pricing for everywhere for EVE Online, and the only difference here is that the package is distributed through Sony. |

Sigh.
It could be something to do with your PSN account is used to log into DUST. Also to do with it is that Sony wants to make some money, and so CCP is forced to use PSN to sell their products on. Sony is NOT going to let CCP use its platform and PSN for free.
The player market is coming. Be patient.
This isn't Steam. CCP hasn't had a history of price gouging, and has only experienced it only where Sony's concerned. Blame Sony, not CCP. Also, there are rumors that you will be able to buy and sell Aurum with isk. Just wait.
Logical fallacy, sadly, reductio ad absurdum. Look it up.
No, it wouldn't, as they have no assets in Australia. TQ is based in London, most of their players are based in Europe and the US. Only a handful are based in Australia. Also, they charge the same price to everyone, so there is no "juggling" as their price has remained steady for the last ten years. |
