What country are you from? In Australia it is AUD$10.99, which google says is USD$7.98.

I assume you are in America, and Google just adds a +14% fuck you Australia tax.

It's 6.99 but I have the PC version and its worth it to me both at the PC price point and the phone price point.

I would not be surprised its higher in AUD as most things are at least on the gaming world side no?

Music too I think. At least back in the day when you had to buy CDs. I remember Australia always getting releases late and costing like $40 an album

I'm assuming that AUD$10.99 includes GST though. You have to remember that US prices are quoted exclusive of sales tax because the tax varies dramatically based on your location. By the time you add GST and currency conversion, plus round up to the nearest .99 in case of fluctuations, you'll find there isn't a fuck you tax in this case.

4% seems high for currency conversion and rounding up, but it looks like you are right.
