Doom: The Dark Ages, for example, is CDN$89.99 on Steam currently. Cost of living has gone insanely haywire in Canada honestly, we’re getting price gouged left, right, and centre, and every company seems to be pushing their prices up because people just keep paying up. It’s really frustrating.
Yeah we’re being royally shafted in the Nordics as well. It’s the downside of us only having one distributor in the whole region and being a relatively rich part of the planet.
Using Google to convert, these are the prices in CAD right now, all with taxes from a price finder:
Mario Kart: CA$132,78 (NOK 977)
Switch 2: CA$909,87 (NOK 6695)
Switch 2 bundle: CA$1012,35 (NOK 7449)
Let’s just say I’m keeping my Homebrewed Switch and PC and give Nintendo the middle finger for now…!
Oh yikes, that’s stupid expensive. Definitely not worth the cost. I think it’ll get harder for me to not buy if they release a new Animal Crossing or Zelda, but honestly even then it’s not worth buying a whole console for 2 games. Probably just have to play them by other means :P
