I don't know what it is with the britts and aussies not understanding economics.
English minimum wage - $10.48 per hr
American minimum wage - $7.25 per hr
That's approximately a 31% difference
31% of 40 is 12. 40+12=$52 leaving $10 for profit, taxes, regulations etc.....
Aussies minimum wage is $17.28 per hr. Do the math from there
English

Ummm, they don't make the game here so what has our minimum wage got to do with it?
-
Indeed - the game was developed in the US - sent to their local EU offices (The Netherlands) for distribution and the physical copies were replicated in Austia - not a UK employee in sight.
-
Dude, how do you know? Great find!
-
It actually says so on the back of the original Destiny box (small print). It gives the registered offices as Activision Blizzard International U.A., Beechavenue 131-D, 1119RB Schipol-Rijk, The Netherlands and as it is replicated by Sony then it stands to reason that they would use their own main replication plant in Austria called Sony DADC.

Selfless bump

It's £7.20 a hour mate I live here it will be going up to over £10 in five years time or so you don't know what your talking about
-
Now convert pounds to dollars and what do ya get? See my $ sign?
-
One quick question. How much does your place of living cost a month?
-
$350. But I have to drive 76 miles round trip for work ($27 per hr) or I could get a $8.13 (min wage in my state) job that I could walk to saving gas and vehicle money
-
$350?! I pay $1300 just on my house, no bills nothing. So my extra $3 minimum wage really covers $1000...
-
Yeah he has it lucky i live in the us, and i live in a small house its 950 a month just for rent
-
Couple reasons; We know the owners The town we live in is a small, poor town. The economy isn't good there meaning prices are different. Houses in the cities (nice ones) are about the same as you pay
-
Answer this Destiny £40/$60. TTK £40/$40.
-
See the part in my original post where I said profit? A little thing called supply and demand. Part of the economics I was talking about
-
Why would they want to profit off more from the British market?

Edited by dhnkc: 8/16/2015 1:15:55 PMPolish minimum wage - $400 per month, the price of the game $100. You have to work 1 week to buy 1 game.
-
Negative ghostrider. That is 400 euros per month. 1 euro equals 4.18 zloty (polish currency) Destiny is around 350-400 zloty the last I checked
-
Edited by dhnkc: 8/16/2015 1:30:36 PMIt is 400 euros per month with taxes. You don't earn 400 euros. You earn $400. Don't teach me how much we earn here.

Edited by dhnkc: 8/16/2015 10:09:31 PM1. Learn how to read. I calculated how much money we earn in dollars to teach you exact numbers. 2. We don't have euro. 3. We have only PLN. 4. You are hilarious because you are trying to teach me how much money I earn. I know how much money I earn. Google isn't the best source of info, if you can't read. 5. We earn [b]1286 PLN[/b] (NET) which is [b]$342.41[/b] (NET).

When people talk about wages they always talk about gross. Can't calculate net unless you know how much is taken out for taxes
