No regional pricing for ESO?

TheFibrewire

Hi

I am playing from India and this game is just too expensive in my country, 3999 INR on steam and If I go to purchase from ESO store, its all in euros which is much more expensive. for standard edition of greymoor. Will ESO ever introduce regional pricing to Asian counties. There are a lot of customers in Southern Asia who enjoy the ES games and hope you guys will do something about this in the future.

Thanks

It is unlikely as its been asked many times before. Technically you are getting a bit of a discount as the full version with Greymore pre purchase is $59.99 in the states and $56.XX when converted from Rupees I dont know what you would consider a fair regional price but Steam is always having sales on the game.

The base game was just on sale for $9.99 or about 712 Rupees on Steam. You get a lot with the base game. I picked up the Elsweyr standard edition for a second account for 1450 Rupees during that sale. basically includes everything currently released but the DLCS.

Greymore upgrade will be much cheaper about 6 months after release. As for the DLCs you can earn gold in game and then buy crowns off people and then purchase the DLCS you want. It is all condoned by ZOS to trade crowns for gold in this fashion.

If you add the base game or the base game plus elsweyr to your steam wish list, steam will tell you when games on your wish list are on sale. So you can pick it up the next time steam has a sale which is every 2 or 3 months id say. Plenty to do in the base game and the open world is huge, it will keep you busy a long time.

Probably have to contact your consumer rep in your local government about things like that. Granted it is, and mostly digital download, still be classed as an import - while there is a set price, once other nations tack through everything prices can increase, or decrease. Depending on said market.

Publishers are not using Steams Regional Pricing tier for India on purpose.

You get better than regional pricing. You get direct USD convert rounded to the nearest dollar.
That's huge. Typical regional pricing is weighted to screw people over. The only rare exceptions to this are cases like Microsoft where they sell their product for cheaper to have a hope in hell of getting anyone to buy it.
