Hmmm Damien, the notion of paying the same amount in pounds and dollars seems extremely strange to me, ----- not the least because using Paypal, it's possible to pay in either currency.
While bomb blaster I'm sure will be a great game and well worth paying for, given the choice i'd much rather pay 18 pounds ----- that would be thirty dollars, than thirty pounds. Personally, I'd say either you just give the game a price in dollars (they instantly convert to pounds and can be paid into your bank so no trouble), or, you give two relative prices based on the exchange rate, ----- eg 30 dollars or 18 pounds, or (if you think your game is worth thirty pounds), thirty pounds or 55 dollars, the way Asabat software (also in the uk) have done. I don't personally see why there's such a major hastle going on over this sort of issue. More to the point is how much the game is actually worth (in pounds or dollars). All the best, Dark. ----- Original Message ----- From: "damien c. sadler - head of x-sight interactive" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 4:05 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then? i'm confused. does that mean that i should charge £30 which means americans should have to pay $60? or should i charge £30, $30, C$30, A$30, or whatever regards, damien ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Rivard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 4:00 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then? I hope I'm not missing the point, here, but here's my thinking on the potential cost of a game for people in different countries. Actually, are they paying more depending on which country they reside in? No, because different forms of money are worth different amounts. Which is heavier. A pound of marshmallows? or a pound of mercury. Now, which takes up more space? See what I mean? Now, he's not going to charge a cubic foot of whatever your currency is. He's going to charge what amounts to a certain value. If a pound is worth fifty cents in American money, and the developer lives in America, he's going to charge 2 pounds, or $1 in American money because a pound is worth half as much as an American dollar. If a person in the UK earns 2 pounds per hour, and an American earns $1 doing the same job, then there's no problem. Everyone seems to be basing the potential price of a game on the numbers rather than the value. If the game costs $30 in American money, should someone in the UK get it for 30 pounds, which is a 50 percent discount, because 30 equals 30? No. It should cost the equivalent of $30 in American money, whether it is 60, 90, or however many of your units of money it takes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "william lomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 2:35 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then? hi that might be the best way. either way one or the other country will ahve to pay more so just say 30 pounds for example equals what, 40 dollars i guess but not sure why not in my view, get the game worked on, show us trailer etcetera and then if it is of a high enough quality we can take a vote perhaps on how much one would be prepared to pay in his or her currencty will On 16 Apr 2007, at 09:29, damien c. sadler - head of x-sight interactive wrote: > so what are you suggesting, that i make it 30 of whatever currency? > so if > someone pays in dollars they pay $30, or if they pay in pounds they > also pay > £30? > > regards, > > damien > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> > Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 3:11 AM > Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then? > > > Hi Damien, > How about setting your prices depending on the persons country or > currency? > You are right that since the Brittish pound currently has a higher > exchange rate than the dollar some gamers may not want to pay the > extra > exchange rate to equalise things.
