Quote - > Quote - Then you have us over the other side of the pond who have a terrible exchange rate and when it's really bad we have to pay almost twice as much as the Americans. Don't get me wrong, i'm not ungrateful but when you have to spend more pennies each month then it kind of sucks. At it's worse last year i was paying $14 a month for my Daz subscription instead of $7.95 which hurt but i didn't want to let it go and miss out on all the $1.99 goodies..lol

Exchange rates are an artificial construct so you really aren't "paying more than the Americans" you've just been conditioned to think so. Step back for a minute and really think about it.....you have (X) number of monetary units, an item costs (Y) number of monetary units in your currency. Doesn't matter what anyone else's currency unit designation is because you are working in a local system.

X>Y = purchase

X<Y = save monetary units and purchase at a later time

price = price at the end of the day

Americans paid $7.95USD,  you paid $14 in your currency - it's the same thing, the cost of the product.

Now had you been charged $14USD then you would be paying nearly twice what the US buyers are charged. Adobe and a few others have been accused of engaging in that practice.

The only time exchange rates matter is if you are buying and selling currency which has pretty much been declared illegal except for governments and financial institutions.

Stupid tariffs on the other hand are a completely different story and are a major cause of inflated prices.

Sorry, i may be a dimwit sometimes but thats rubbish..
