wolfko 997 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I only now found out that MSFS is much more expensive in EUR-countries than in the USA. EUR 70 vs USD 60. EUR 70 are about USD 83. Or the other way round USD 60 are EUR 51. So there is a price difference of EUR 19 respectively USD 23. What exchange rate are they using at MS? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, Nick..I'm shocked...when I saw what the final C.C. was going to charge..me...I did a triple take...and that was 5 pounds less than you folks? Thank goodness for M.S. that we love this hobby is all I can type...! But..remember...a few BRITISH Colonists made a fuss---> a loud one, heard in Parliament in 1776........and created a new country, saying bye-bye to King George! Sometimes...you NEED to make a fuss..to get things to change! Let's start a VAT Revolution! Nick...how do you look in a Tri-Corn Hat?

We had this discussion over at AVSIM. It has little to do with taxes. In some countries it simply has to do with income it seems, like Switzerland where it is 14 CHF more expensive then it should be at current exchange rate and added swiss VAT. In Germany it is about 10€ more than it should be. I really have no clue why software companies think they can simply charge more for a digital product in a different market. At least Orbx is fair about this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Cooper 6,945 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 If you ignore the tax, is the price there much different to £91.66? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
