I am Canadian, ontario to be more precise.
In Canada we pay $139.99 for odin's vault. Americans pay $99.99.
If you do the conversion $99.99 from USD to CAD it becomes $125.64.
Now we have to pay tax. This is new. We didn't pay tax before. So odin's vault becomes $158.19
So Canadians are paying $58.20 more then Americans. Possibly a touch less I don't know if Americans are paying tax on bundles.

Now. We have seen that the Google play and Apple Istore does not set the prices. Many screen shots have been shared that the company sets the prices. Kabam has lowered the prices for anyone using euros.

Is this going to happen for Canadians. Because as of now I think Canada pays more then anyone else for bundles and units. Kabam is a Canadian company. Yet they make us pay for more then anyone else.

    Kabam DOES NOT set the prices. They select the tier of pricing, and Google and Apple put a price on that tier.

    Kabam DOES NOT set the prices. They select the tier of pricing, and Google and Apple put a price on that tier.
    And of equal importance to note; once that price tier is set, google and apple take care of currency conversion. This is completely out of Kabam’s control.
    Exactly. And a further note: Apple as of August 3rd made price changes in different regions to do with tax, that's why apple customers prices on items are now different from Google. Apple made that choice, not Kabam.

    Prof Hoff vid here in the link says it's the developer who makes the prices.
    Not ITunes. Multiple conversations are noted in this vid.

    Hey guys, we've already addressed concerns about price variation in different currencies HERE. To help keep the Forum tidy, I'll go ahead and close this discussion.
