I'd hope the average pay was higher in that region

I'd not buy it simply for that reason alone. That is not a price difference excusable by taxes.
Is it excusable by shipping?

Yeah people in the EU are paid on average 3-4 times as much as the US.

Tax + Shipping increases the price by over 300%? I'd expect a decent domestic shipping option to cost about £2, or about $3, bringing the total price to £5 including tax plus however much it costs to ship them over to the UK/EU. Where did the other £4 come from, or the even higher price those paying in Euros have to pay?

Yes, i get it. It's a minor inconvenience that you can't get it in your region yet but to go on and on about it is self entitlement. That's my opinion
Yes as I said indeed you can, so it is NOT a "luxury" item as you supposed.


Given that, and that everyone pays the same amount for the same access to the game, why should one group be discriminated against for not having access to the security key vendor?

But anyone on a pc does have access through an emulator if nothing else...

I don't know exactly where the keys ship from. But, I imagine it is somewhere in the US. That makes it international shipping, not domestic. That brings quite a hefty pay increase. A 1 lb envelope mailed to the UK can cost $10.

That's the point we're making though. No group is being discriminated against. Everyone has equal access to obtain a security key. The means to obtain one may not be straight forward and may require different steps than someone with an android or iphone. However, if you CHOOSE not to obtain a key, it is only your fault that you don't have access, not Bioware.

Yea, if you dont own a smartphone you are pretty much screwed. Bioware made it a priority to have the game run on mid range pc's so you would have the money left over to buy a $600 phone.

asinine query is asinine.

But not everyone used security keys.

To be forced to use them to get what is blocking a general improvment is discimination.

Everyone is equal..... just some are more equal than others, eh?

Sorry, but no.

Are you complaining because you wont use a security key but you still want the perks?
