No one is asking you to buy CE.

I personally never collect box CEs but I am definitly paying 59.99 for the digital. Thats actually really cheap. I have seen digital CE on other MMOs go for quite a bit more just for digital. Thanks SE :D
What's worse in all this, Steam players can't even get a physical copy because it won't be able to be redeemed unless purchased through steam. ;_;
I don't understand the argument -
It's priced just right for the people who feel it's worth it. Players who think they can justify 130$ on buying it will buy it, those who can't will get the Digital CE or the Standard. I mean I see people buy stuff for specific prices, and I feel it's a waste of money but that's just my opinion and I don't have the right to complain about how they spend their money. My husband once bought a collectors soundtrack for 50$ and I thought he was nuts, but it was worth it to him. It just depends on the person, and SE know people are willing to spend it; and people are. Personally, I thought they were gonna be worse about it and set it between 150-200$ US, so I was surprised it was 20$ less than my low ball.
That said -
UK people are getting kinda pushed over... It should really be balanced to where if we are spending 130$ + shipping here, they should spend 130$ + shipping (which might be different depending on shipping rules around the word) equivalent. But they are paying, what 130£ which is 63$ more than us in the US. That isn't fair, they should really only be paying 89£ + shipping (for said area) to make closer to fair. I don't know the base price for everyone else, but one of my friends in the UK told me about this.
But if SE is gonna change 130$ make it as close to fair in all countries with the currency used in that region.
