@Sirnoob where did you hear that about Apple and Google or is that just a known fact? I'm ignorant on these sorts of things.
@danielprogrmic that sounds like a "reasonable" price as the conversion from USD to Brazilian Real is about 1 to 3.12. Here in Australia it's costing me AUD$160 for the US$100 deals. Thats $35 on top of conversion!!

Just a known thing, and don't worry the $ to £ conversion is messed up too so we in the UK pay more aswell.
Basically all the offers are cheaper in US I think

its not resonable at all. More than 3 times for the same thing. And our economy is not the best of the world. If the coasts were more realistics, i think kabam will make more money, cause more people will think about spend some money. But is really too expensive actually.
@Berti I meant "realistic" in the sense that it doesn't diverge too far from the normalised value of $100, not to say that it's affordable or that affordability is translated into buying power.
What's not taken into account is the purchasing power of individual countries meaning that $100 value isn't "affordable" for all scenarios. For instance, AUD$100 isn't a bad deal in my eyes because I can make that in 2.5hrs of work, which translates into "affordable" in relation to the game and the amount of time I spend on it, but my threshold is easily crossed once you get above AUD$110.
Now, to someone in India, SE Asia, etc...$100 is significantly higher in relation to socioeconomic statuses and purchasing power. The scales seem to be more beneficial to the US, which is very unfortunate because Kabaam is definitely missing out on the potential sales by the overtly up-scaled pricing schemes.
Thanks for the head's up @Mr_Platypus good information to know.
