Continuing the discussion from Huge issue with the discount for xbox,unable to purchase squads from gaijin store and discounts not applied at xbox store:
There is plenty that can be done about it. The sale can be activated in the console stores like every other cross-platform publisher does.
NO ONE else has this supposed problem.
If Gaijin wants to communicate that “because of such and such factor blah blah blah Microsoft blah blah Sony the prices in the console stores will need to be 3 dollars higher than the PC sale price” I’d be fine with that. I’m using 3 bucks as an example, but whatever it is that has this one sole publisher pretending they are unable to activate a console sale needs to be taken care of by them.
I like the game. I’d pay “a couple” bucks above sale price if it comes down to a fee thing. But they’re not getting any money out of me right now and at this point, I’m not paying full price to them for anything in this game EVER.
I refuse to pay full price when others don’t have to. Whatever fee MS and Sony are demanding, it would be better than Gaijin getting zero.
Microsoft’s cut in their store for Console games is 30%. I’m assuming your heartburn is that their fee for PC games is only 12% and they wouldn’t treat your XBox port for PC pricing.
In order to balance it out so that the proceeds flowing to Gaijin remain the “half priced value”, the sale price on a $40 squad needs to be set at $28.50
If you were to even set the price at $29.99, I’d be willing to play ball on a squad or two. I’m not going to buy as many at elevated prices as I was wanting to buy. It sucks, but you need to find a way to maintain balance here.
