<p>The game costs you 35$. Now I know that is cheap by American Standards...something which a high school kid can earn my mowing some lawns...but in India 35$ = Rs 1800 which is freakishly expensive for a game. Plus there are additional shipment charges for International orders..</p><p> </p><p>

I played the demo and really want to play the full version but can't coz its too expensive here....</p>

Yup it does arise....But I never liked those games in the first place and never really had the desire to buy/ play it. Now this is a game which I read about on one of the wrestling forums and decided to give it a shot and liked it...but sad its expensive man...

<p>I suggest picking up TEW05 for free <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/downloads.php?id=48" rel="external nofollow">here</a>. Perhaps over time you could scrounge up enough to purchase '10? </p><p> </p><p>

I know this solution isn't ideal considering there has been five years between games and most of the things that make TEW2010 so appealing is the changes that have been made, but being able to play TEW05 completely (without any limitations) and the TEW2010 demo while putting your pennies in a row would get you ready for the full game. <img alt=":cool:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

The average wage in India is much lower than that in the United States and the majority of European countries.

It is not Adam who sets the price however, it is Grey Dog Software who distribute the game.

 

anyways like I said...looking forward to playing TEW 2020....maybe will buy the game 7-8 yrs later when I start earning on my own...if I have the time then that is..

Also... if they give out different prices for different regions, they would lose the whole market. The marge would be traded away by intermediary buyers.

 

This problem affects a lot of people in times of E-Commerce. On the other hand, this situation currently increases the financial equality between different countries on this planet.
