European Commission to End Regional Pricing

European Commission to End Regional Pricing

The European Commission has proposed the end of regional pricing for digital games...but what does that mean exactly?

Well, digital prices on Steam, Xbox Live and PSN will have to be made equal across all countries within the European Union.

In a statement given to MCV, the European Commission said:

“The Digital Single Market initiative seeks to provide an unfettered European market for digital goods and services across all its 28 member states.”

“Simplified and modern rules for online and digital cross-border purchases will encourage more businesses to sell online across borders and further develop digital markets such as games.”

In other words, parity. Parity is good.

Just so long as they don't try to add Australia into this, somehow. Their prices are HIGH.
