Oh, man.....not this again.
Take note: nearly everything costs more in Europe than it does in the US. EVERYTHING. Not just software. I won't attempt to recite all of the reasons again in this thread....it's a waste of time. All that it accomplishes is to make people that don't want to recognize the realities of living under heavily-socialized systems angry. It certainly doesn't convince them.
I just filled up my huge truck's gas tank today. I paid $1.69/gallon for the privilege. I'll leave it up to others to do the conversion to Euros/liter. Frankly, it's not worth the small effort involved to do so.
Sure........the software costs more across the pond. Most things "over there" do.
It's just that one doesn't usually concern themselves with the fact that people in the US pay less for almost everything.
There must be reasons for that. I wonder what they could be..........?
No, the Den no longer exists. And a true airing of this subject requires political debate.
We aren't going to get that here, beyond the first shot or two. The mods will shut down the thread.
So.....I'll leave it with some cryptic advice: Make some fundamental changes, and then prices will change fundamentally.
Man, I hope that we never adopt that stuff over here..........it's a constant battle.
BTW -- nobody is being "ripped off". Not by Curious Labs, anyway.
