Even though, Valve has shown that pricing your game regionally vs your main price converted everywhere is far better for your product. Then again Blizzard probably doesn't give a shit since it'll be f2p in 12 months.

Your currency had less then a 10 cent lead over the USD and that was for less then 2 years, right after your currency shit itself down to 68 cent value.

http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=AUD&to=USD&view=10Y

And prices do not flux on instance based value, they take time to correct themselves, no one was going to price shit at the proper value because they would have lost money.

And lot's of it.

learn economics 101 fag.

>>315848653
All Australians are dumb fucks, because they all bitch about it.

>>315848656
Yes and they had 10% tax, and now they a new 10% tax being placed on all incoming goods valued over 1000 AUD, this means bulk shipping..

>>315848745
Yes it is you gigantic fag mongrel.

game in the US is 59.99 + what ever state tax you have.

Game in AUD is 89 AUD, or 63.37 USD. They already have a 10% tax on their products while it's on the shelf, unlike US products which tax at the register.

So why is Blizzard releasing a multiplayer game with a price tag? They clearly know how retarded that is since nobody will buy a TF2/ASSFAGGOTS, that's why they're all free
>>
>>315856601
Because the price tag gives you the full roster of heroes?
Also because the region free status would make all the poorfags countries come onto EU servs like always (hello russians, hello br, huehue putin putin).
And that way we don't have to put up with freebies playing the only freeweek heroes, so the gameplay makes itself diverse and not always the same hero of the week combo shit (just play dirty bomb).
>>
>>315857132
DotA 2 is free to play and lets you have access to 100+ heroes without you having to buy them. Why can't blizzard do the same? Surely they could make the money back via micro-transactions if Valve can.

I was surprised by HOTS. It's still shit. But it's nowhere near as shit as I expected.
It does feel less cancerous than LoL and Dodo, but it feels way, way too casual.
I can understand the idea of removing features from gameplay, some of them weren't particularly interesting or rewarding; I don't care that they're gone.
I care they they added basically nothing, and the stuff that is the same is dumbed down as well for some reason.
Everything feel so much less impactful than in even LoL. The only thing that does feel impactful are the meme map triggers. Which are interesting the first dozen times but no more, you realize that the map specific objectives are just as tedious and boring as shit like cs was to begin with.

They needed to make waves push harder, and probably increased the player count to 7v7 or something.
Then it would have been a contender, and had its own identity beyond casual LoL with a different hat.

I think it badly represented, the original game should be the mona lisa, shop exclusives should be the mona lisa with a gun, hat, accessory corresponding to the shop, dlc should be adding foreground, or increasing the FOV, part that didn't exist in the first place, and micropayements should be mona lisa with hats, kayne glasses, ties, bow ties, dresses, color hair, and different shades of it.
