[RANT] Game prices in Turkey

Just pre ordered The Division from the US Xbox store for 195 liras (though I've only paid about 80 liras since I'm gamesharing with a friend of mine) just because the same edition's on sale for 250 liras here on the Turkish store. I don't even get it..

Is it like this because of the taxes or is it just Turkish companies being total dickwads?

  • First reason(probably): Aral(main game distributor in Turkey) being total dickwads
  • Second reason: Government being dickwads about taxes of exported things from outside of country.

People just rant like you but keep buying those games off retail stores. They will keep selling with those price tags while there are many people don't hesitate to drop 200tl bomb.

tl;dr You are peasant op. Deal with it.
