    Default I think you may have overcharged for the Plat Sale

    Hi STS um, you didn't give me the full 40% discount on my plat purchase. Since I'm guessing a partial refund is out of the question, and the discount was actually only about 37%, I'd be happy if you gave me 3% of the total plat I bought. Seems fair?

    Also, with the latest update the original pricing has been removed, which seems a bit suspect.. so my figure of 37% could actually be less, as I'm conservative in my estimation.

    I live in New Zealand, where legally a price includes tax unless explicitly stated otherwise, which this didn't.

    I live in Canada and whenever I bought plat there wasn't tax, there was exchange rate. Since they advertise the prices in USD iTunes/Paypal converted it to CAD. I always got charged more than advertised depending on what the dollar value is at the time of purchase. Idk maybe that happened to you

    Prices are NZ dollars so I don't think that's it either!

    Where in Canada are you? I'm in B.C. and tax is always added onto the plat price. So the $89.99 normal price is actually $101. Same goes for sale prices... $49.99 is $56 or whatever.
    You never know what you can do until you try
    There are two ways of doing something: right, and again.

    Also, STS, I'd like to know why the original price has disappeared, and only the discounted price shows... because now we only have your word for it that there was a 40% discount, when in fact I know it's less than that, but can no longer prove it, because I didn't think it necessary to take a screenshot of such a thing. This was my first plat purchase and I'm feeling a bit like I wish I didn't do it. I know we're not talking a huge amount in dollar terms, but it's the principle!

    It makes sense that they remove the other price... Why display the original price?

    1 usd=1.25 cad, so that 89.99 usd should be 112.5 cad. That 89.99 is already include taxes imho, so they just convert into national currencies.

    Because at first they were displaying the original price as well, I guess to show how much of a discount you were getting. But now it's been removed, and that's the bit I find dodgy. Quite apart from the not-40% discount, which could be a simple mistake..

    I use Android, and am from NZ so prices are different here as they're in NZ dollars. But prices are definitely not 40% less, and the original pricing definitely was showing and now isn't. Not to mention mods and devs have posted on other threads since I started this one, but have assiduously ignored this one... or so it seems.

    If you scroll down all the way I think, there is a checkbox for those who live in Texas.
