Please stop treating Canadians like second class citizens

[Canadane]

I was thinking this would be about the abhorrent shipping prices to Canada for physical merchandise.
Not... an exchange rate.

[BelegErkhten]

... is that Steam?

Yes, yes it is.

as a Canadian, I would love to hear how you expect SE to deal with an international currency exchange rate.

I for one, do not feel like a second class citizen, this has been a reality for YEARS.... SE has nothing to do with it at all.

There are plenty of games and companies that offer regional pricing for games. Steam is notorious for it, where if you live in Russia or Brazil you can basically get games for free. I don't see why Squeenix can't do the same. The fact the Loonie and USD aren't worth the same is a whole load of BS anyways. Minimum Wage across the US is basically the same as it is across most of Canada, so why on earth do we functionally value the labor of Canadians less?

Step 1.Pays sub in Canadian dollars , *ouch* every month, same for any Mogstation items. Could be a valid complaint.
Step 2. Looks at OP's location.

All sympathy is gone.

Better trolls please.

Okay, I wasn't aware that it's illegal to dislike the dear leader.

Those countries have low GDP per capita. Canada just has a weak currency but not a low GDP.

Yes, yes it is.

Yes, so tell me you don't know about economics? The rate exchange, the way at which various regions set minimum wage does not in any way equate to valuing one country's labor force over the other's.

Thank you for the confirmation, not really original though.

To my surprise, and SE's credit, they actually did make changes. Their shipping costs to Canada are now a flat 17$ rate instead of the ludicrous 50+ they were charging not too long ago. Which is great since I want some of their physical merch.

Ah, so you do want to be treated like a second-class citizen, where your country is considered so poor they have to offer you charity-pricing.

No, I want Square to treat my 8 hours of hard manual labour doing landscaping and construction to be worth the same as some dumbass who works at Mc Donalds doing piss all for 6 hours in America

[Palladiamors]

Gonna have to agree with Boblawblah on this one: Nope.

Sounds like you need to talk to your government and have them figure out how to get a stronger currency.

OPs being a bit of a clown in the thread but regional pricing would be nice, not just for us but for a lot of other countries too. It's not a new issue with SE, there's a lot of steam threads constantly complaining about it.
