As someone posted previously the UK minimum wage is 6.50, if a convert that to dollars its $9.57. That is a lot more income for the common people who in the US get $7.25. Company executives in the US would throw a fit if they had to pay their employees 25% more income, because it would cut in to the top 1%'s money.

I can see why some things cost more in the UK cause of stuff like this. Nobody in the US can really live off of minimum wage because its not a living wage which makes people get 2 jobs often.

Living costs in the US are on average cheaper then the UK after doing some quick google searches, our average house price is in USD if converted around $264,773.14 across England and Wales. The average house price in the US is $199,600.0, the average monthly disposable salary across the US is $2,970.53 and the average in the UK is in USD around $2,522.33. Unemployment rate current in UK is around 5.7%, in the US around 5.5%.

Now these figures are gained from multiple sources but obviously might find other sources with different results and there will be regional difference obviously within each country. So maybe the US should be the ones paying almost $200 for their version since they seem to be in a better position financially based on national averages.

Statistics can be used for or against people in many ways but the reality is it is not fair that us UK customers have to pay the equivalent of $191.73 for the expansion which only really contains a small plastic dragon figurine, an art book etc and rest is mostly digital stuff get with digital CE anyways for around 1/3rd of the price of the physical edition.

The digital CE is actually well priced and comparable in a fair way to the US and EU version but the physical CE is an extortionate price for the UK version in which we are expected to pay roughly in USD around $126 extra on top of the digital CE version for measly small plastic dragon and an art book, also around $70 more than the US customer is paying for the same thing. It is not unreasonable to demand SE explains themselves on this discrepancy and unfair pricing.
