In both physical & digital copies of video games: when I've visited an store, upon looking at the price tag (they range at 90 AUD or more for a copy, seriously?!) I've also browsed through their Steam store front which isn't any better, 110-30 AUD for a digital license?! When you consider regional pricing, they end up costing more than USD (depends, like a +20% increase which is insane to me). To put it into perspective, games are cheaper in my country than they are in Australia.

Aussies on Lemmy who don't understand their own economy.... Austria has a GST of 10%.

10% of $100 is $10, $100 + $10 = $110.

Americans don't have a GST or VAT, which is why they are $38T in debt.
