EA to increase PC game prices in India
We tweeted a rumour yesterday about a possible price hike in EA's PC games in India. We’ve now received word from the publisher confirming the same.
We had heard from a source around E3 that EA might be looking to re-price PC games in India closer to the prices it charges in the rest of the world. The price points mentioned to us were Rs 2,499 and Rs 3,299.
A price reconsideration seems even more likely considering that we’re three months away from the release of FIFA 14, and retailers like Game4u are still to begin preorders; not knowing the price or release date didn’t stop it from taking PS4 preorders though.
We got in touch with Chris Gatherer, EA’s regional director for EMEA markets, who confirmed to us, “We will be launching our pre-orders on Origin soon and I can confirm the pricing will be comparative to global market pricing.”Source
