How much is 4 liters of milk and 4 liters of petrol in Australia? 4 liters because that about equals a US gallon which is our usual measurement for those things.
In the US right now a gallon of milk is about $2.65 and a gallon of petrol is about $3.80.
Yeah I have Game Pass so I was pretty keen to play the early access but when I found out it was $170, just to play 5 days earlier? No fucking thank you.
I’m spending that money on an SSD because my partner bought the deluxe version and running it on my computer is arse. My computer isn’t even that bad!
There’s a lot that goes into an Australian release. Shipping all those bits to the bottom of the world is outrageously expensive. All of the map geometry has to be altered to be right-side up there. The physics math has to be re-coded to deal with -1g gravity. Somebody has to be paid to go through all of the scripts to replace every instance of “jelly” with “marmite”. Asset loading code has to be changed to compensate for the Coriolis effect.
All of this adds up to expensive Au ports, the new costs often overshadowing the title’s original development costs.
Oh shit this is good news, I looked at it yesterday and it’s $120 here and instantly thought fuck that I’ll wait until it’s cracked
What kind of country are you in that a game cost $120!?
Australia, they love price gouging us here. Just went and checked steam again, the premium version is $170…
How much is a decent middle class income in Australia? I’d say it’s about $45,000 per year in the US.
Average is 90k, median salary is 80k
So higher relative income in Australia.

I donno about cow milk maybe $5-6 is my guess, petrol is like $7-8
So it seems like the scale is just higher in Australia. As of today 1 USD = 1.55 AUD
The real cost of gas and milk is the environment
How much is game pass on Australia?
This site says $11.95AUD, the equivalent of $7.72USD.
As for the $170 premium version, that’s $170AUD. Australia has 10% GST (VAT) so 170/110*100 = $154.55AUD excluding tax.
$154AUD is $99.64USD.
They aren’t getting gouged, well, at least not worse than US customers.
thanks

Just curious. It’s it because of tax/vat or just everything being expensive?

Best comment here by far lmao
Close, it’s really because you need to flip all those bits upside down so they can be read properly by the computers down there.
Good one 😂
Probably a country where the dollars are worth a different amount.
Metric dollars Vs imperial
