Please stop treating Canadians like second class citizens

[NonBinaryNyan]

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 think those prices are actually set by the game companies, who are selling through Steam. Regardless, it does not make the games basically free. They are bringing the price in line with those countries' economies and where most people are sitting in them, which at present is VASTLY different than the US or Canada's. If you'd like a better understanding of this, don't just look at exchange rates--look at average income and the cost of essential goods there. Food, fuel, basic utilities, that sort of thing.

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?

Minimum wage isn't even the same across the US itself, nevermind the same value and purchasing power.

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

Casting aspersions on people who work in fast food is not only irrelevant to the pricing complaint you want dealt with, it's disingenuous. With many establishments being deliberately understaffed, employees have to do even more work than they used to--and the work was already quite taxing.

If you have a request to make of Square Enix regarding the price of the game, subscriptions, or online shop items for Canada, you'd do better to make that request without muddling it with hyperbole, disingenuous statements, and complaints over things entirely outside of SE's control.

Squeenix PLEASE
This exchange rate is killing me
*Coughs up blood*

What is the problem? That looks like the correct current exchange rate between US dollars and Canadian dollars. (At the time of writing this, 1 USD = 0.748 CAD)

I checked the currency exchange myself on Google, and it's correct. It's not SE on this one, not sure why are you upset.

[Halivel]

Seems to be about right with tax taken into account?
It's not like SE has any control over currency rates, you know. Plus it's Steam too, where they have even less control over things.

[Kes13a]

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.

Sounds like a problem the Canadian government needs to work on. SE can't fix exchange rates.

[Nebelheim]

square enix has no control over international exchange rate. What do you expect the company to do turn into shinra and dominate the world as a mega corporation government ruler and have the entire world be under one currency.

Yoship needs to rebalance the global economy by giving Canada a potency buff. (but like in FFXIV it won't be enough :^) )

[IDontPetLalas]

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.

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