Hey guys (move if needed)

Currency in the in-game store needs a fix..

Take the new costume pack as example:
10$ vs 9Euros..
Not fair for europeans

I did a search.

Cheers

Exchange rates change. When they were first put it in the store 10USD would have been equal to 9 Euro, but with the US dollar becoming rather weak this has changed.
Right now I'm buying games from the US for around 30-40% less than they cost here due to low USD and high NZD.

Actually, when it was added yesterday 10 USD was worth pretty much the same as it is now: less than 7 EURO.

I don't like the extra I'm charged either, but nothing is as bad as being asked to pay ~£40 for a $50 purchase when the exchange rate was better than 2:1 in Sterling's favour.
