Not only not 1.24€..

.. but 1.49€.

http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/be/en/pc/games/action/trine/

Just did see the add in the bottom of sgifts page for Trine at $1.24, then go on the website and expect for a silly 1:1 change as usual; but here it's even worst.

1.49€ equals to $2. Well it's not the first time a stupid ratio like that happens because it's pretty usual, but it becomes verry annoying, plus when you can't buy in dollars as it was before because it's forced to buy in € in most websites now.

Well maybe a pointless thread here but still, it's annoying.

if you mean the key, that was for anyone really, it was from the indie gala, and i saw no point in making a giveaway for it.

What is this website rip offs ? Also, thanks for that key.. but I already owned the game. I took it as an example and because I maybe would have liked to buy it for a buddy since it's a game I find okay.

Same, from the North west and I confirm. Worst is, often prices are even less interesting than in €, which are themselves often less interesting than in $...

Holy shit, they made you pay an additional 37 cents? Man, what assholes, that must've been so rough for you.

I'm sick of the EU anti-discount too, but come on.

you're a german so you might not understand as german lifes are easiers than their neightboors.. also, yes it's 37 cents.. on a $/€ balance for a $1 game.. When it comes to more expensives games, it becomes $50 for americans and $80 for europeans.

Yeah, right, it's like in heaven... a working heaven. Totally. But well, discussing 'bout national differences of lifestyle and circumstances is... stupid. I mean, I could start with Greek and money but that's just stupid and nothing else^^"

No in the rest of countries people don't work. Well in my country i'm part of the 26% people actively searching job without finding. And better don't say anything about Greece, you will seem an ignorant (already) as you seem to don't know the alliances of your government with German and U.S. And U.K. Banks to ruin Greece and get billionaire profit from it. Go inform you before criticizing them.

Why would life be so easy for germans? germans work their arses off to even keep a job, let alone a good wage. Germany is bloody expensive compared to their neighbours.

Food is cheap, or it was when I was there. Cheaper (proportionally to wage) than other countries and it's the only necessary to live.
Works here take 2 extra hours (average), half wage. VAT is 21 instead of 19...

I'm in the UK and we get the worst deal on games constantly, but complaining on a forum does nothing.

It's a thread, a simple discussion. I don't need the will to change the world for talking with people. :>

Lol, I am from the UK and we do not get a 1:1 ratio like every other European country.
I am yet to find a game where the currency conversion is wrong.

oh man, they do that all the time on Steam too. every time I link a sale with my UK or FR friends, they go "oh but it's [x] £/€ here" where [x] is the same amount in USD$ here.

but sometimes the GBP conversion gets better than us, say, if it's $19.99 here, it's £9.99 there, when the conversion rate from USD to GBP is around 0.67. save a few bucks! shame it happens so rarely.
