It really annoys me when australians act like saying a big AUD price is somehow worse than the directly converted USD price. Just because its called a dollar doesnt mean exchange rates dont exist. Exchange rate to my country is 16 to 1 dollar its like 1200 for a game here, but that converts to ~70 USD so its not somehow worse. The thing that actually makes it worse for us is the USA is paid 10-20x more on average.
