A lot has been posted recently. Emotegate, money throwing, paying for content twice etc. All of which is, to be fair, consumer choice. I come here asking you, fellow gamers from the great nation of Murica, to stand with us on something that we cannot control. I know this does not affect you but I hope a poem from Pastor Martin Niemöller might explain why this is important for all of us gamers. [spoiler]First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.[/spoiler] I'm not here to debate what is a fair price for TTK. I'm not here because I will not buy TTK. I'm not here because I cannot afford TTK. I'm here to proclaim a great injustice. And as a great American Martin Luthor King once said, "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". Let's use MW2 as an example. When DLC was priced in Microsoft Points it was 1500 MSPs. This cost a bit over $15 (inc sales tax) in the US and £9.50 (inc. sales tax) in the UK (due to exchange rates at the time). This is exactly the same amount of money. I could give you many examples of this. There has been no tax laws changed subsequently to my knowledge. Microsoft said (at E3 2012) when they moved to local currency that this would not affect DLC costs. So Bungie, please, explain why the DLC costs £40 when it costs $40 in America. I understand it also costs more in other countries (but not in some). £40 includes 20% VAT and the $40 does not include the sales tax however in terms of pure hard cash someone is getting $52 (£33.33) from UK customers and $40 from US customers. Why was it initially £28 ($44 - the US price + 10% sales tax)? Why was Luke so evasive about it? Can someone please explain who is getting that $12 per transaction extra? Is it Microsoft? Activision? The EU? You Bungie? I know foreign currencies are "literally foreign" to you but before I throw my money at the screen can you contact the accountants or someone with a god damn -blam!-ing brain to put forward an explanation rather than the "is taxes" line we got for the seasons pass? Please stand with us on this USA. Don't make excuses - this is not fair. I'm not doing this on my behalf, I'm very fortunate to have a good job and £40 is nothing to me but when I was a kid that would have been a lot and I grew up inspired by some amazing games (Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart, Doom, Wolvenstein, Unreal Tournament, Quake, Total War etc.) and I love this game. I want to play it but not if I am viewed as a second class citizen who has to pay more to get in the club, that kind of thing makes me think I'm not wanted. Sorry for the long post. Please bump, sign, like and comment if you agree. Edit: humbled by the response, America stands with us. Thank you Guardians. I'm sorry about Top Gear but some advice - DON'T watch the new version with Chris Evans. It [b]will[/b] be terrible.
