EA is facing a virtual backlash in India after it announced it was raising prices on games sold in the country by up to 133 percent.
EA said that it would price the latest iteration of its FIFA sports franchise at 2,499 rupees and Battlefield 4 as well as Need for Speed: Rivals at 3,499 rupees. Compared to the price of last year’s titles in those respective franchises of 1,499 rupees that’s a 66 to 133 percent hike. On the console side prices also rose: up to 3,499 rupees from an average of 2,999 last year. The average PC game in India costs between 999 to 1,499 rupees.
Resumen: EA, que no es tonta, al ver que toda la peña estaba comprando el juego a través de proxys indios ha subido el precio del BF4 un 133%. Para los ciudadanos indios esta subida es realmente pronunciada pues su poder adquisitivo es realmente bajo. Muchas personas indignadas por este movimiento de EA han decidido hacer ver su cabreo en las redes sociales creando el hashtag #EAPCIndia
