"In what I can only assume is a move by these publishers to ensure that AU/NZ consumers have to resort to retail given the favourable exchange rate between the US and AU dollar."
They want us to pay more. At least they didn't bump up the price. COD4 on steam is $88 and you can buy it at the stores for about $70.
Dear publishers on Steam, We don't get access to your games, get put up with higher prices and are unable to buy localized games. We believe this practice doesn't just hurt your image, but also the thing that matters to you the most... sales. With this group we would like to show the amount of people who would have bought your games if you made them available in all countries, used the same pricing worldwide and offered the localized versions available in retail. Signed, The members of this group
