My Thoughts on Fallout 4's Price Disparity
0**EDIT** Bethesda have already lowered the price in numerous regions. Thanks again to them.
-----------
I talk about Fallout 4's difference in pricing and how UK and Brazilian gamers are being ripped off. Game footage is from a recent session of Final Exam.
I'd say the biggest issue I have is the fact it's a Triple AAA title, where there's little reasoning behind such large pricing disparities (these big multi-billion dollar publishers like Bethesda). For indie games it's understandable especially given market proliferation, but for AAA games they should be able to cater for much more consistent pricing across various regions.
