This has gotta (sic) be the 300th or so thread started on the issue of "overpricing" for international sales.
The topic, and the reasons for it, has been hashed out repeatedly.
Most likely, Curious Labs actually makes less money on a copy of P6 which is sold overseas than it does on a copy which is sold in the US. Even with the slightly higher overseas price.
The reasons for this situation are as Katherine explained them. Plus some other reasons that she didn't go into. Because doing so would simply get another lengthy debate cranked up.
Once a territory has been covered enough, then a rut starts to form.
In spite of the protests over "fairness" -- Curious Labs simply cannot afford to sell their product at a loss.
Which is what some are demanding that they do.
Try a forum search. Tons of other threads have already beaten this subject into the ground.
