Everywhere I check, I only see people posting the single, higher price. I can't check for this game, as I bought it digitally already.

This definitely incentivizes me to spend less.

I don't understand how Poland is still not in the euro zone despite being the hottest financial place right now

Both the governments (over the years) and people don't want it. This also allows us to be independent from decisions made in Berlin (like how high interest rates are etc.).

How is this even legal. This is like walking into McDonald's and a burger is more expensive for me than the person behind me in line.

Yeah.....this wont last.

Hopefully Sony gets a class action suit over this.

The fix after?

We'll all be paying the lower % discounts with no chance for a deeper one, lol.

F the poors.

this is hilarious, Sony has become so brazen in how they fuck over their fan base

It looks like the discount is based largely on how many games you buy and the less game you buy the more likely you are to get a discount

So if you support buying games on PSN you basically get fucked and if you generally ignore Sony and don't buy games, that's when you get the benefit

I'd question their methodology, because that means they would only be counting games bought on their digital storefront. Do they count discs toward these? Can I borrow/rent games and play them, will those be counted as affecting the advertised discounts? Is it quantity of games bought or total money spent in the store? Are they accounting for PS+ subscriptions?

If I'm coming up with that after a minute posting on a forum, I'm quite sure it's more complicated (and probably a multitude of factors) inside Sony itself. I still don't like this approach, it's a dangerous slippery slope to how they frame it as discounts where as it will keep MSRP and prices in general higher in order to offer those lower discounts. Rather than the ATLs available to everyone and visible to price trackers, the real ATL is now hidden behind personalized offers made by some unknown algorithm Sony cooked up and will never share.
