Man, thats screwed up. I heard that prices got “rounded up” in many countries when euro was introduced.
$45 used to be something like 450 swedish kronor only a few years ago, now it’s almost down to 300 kr. And with new games costing somewhere around 400-500 kr here, I’d say $45 is a really good price for what is now my main creative tool.
Oh, not my very first, but my first favorite tracker:
A lot of merchandizers just replaced our local currency sign for the euro sign.
And if i blattered something about they not being honest, the salesman just said they didn’t recalculated the local currency prices to euro’s, they just changed the prices.
And a lot of economics say that the price uprise was just a cause of inflation… inflation my ass, we never had a 130% inflation here!
who does actually profit from that euro madness?
i mean the salesmen and gastronomy and all, i’m sure they buy their products for higher prices as well… and at least here in germoney, there are big slump in sales since the euro if i’m not wrong. so it seems everybody just loses
