Updated USA pricing

Hello everyone, happy new year.

As I promised earlier I have reduced DraStic's USA price from $5.99 USD to $4.99 USD. I have kept the following prices the same:

UK: 3.75
EU: 4.49
AU: 6.75
CAD: 6.49

Note that this is due to exchange rates having changed heavily since the pricing was originally set, and due to new taxes in some of these regions. In each of these cases the effective income was already less than $4.99 USD per sale (sometimes substantially).

Prices for other countries have been adjusted automatically based on exchange rate. In some cases they have went down, in other cases they have went up. Please let me know if anyone has any problems with the pricing in another currency and I will consider lowering it; I don't really know what the purchasing power is like for other countries.

Hi
I was really waiting for this sale, and for now i'm a bit disappointed, in Poland price rised, was 18.xxPLN, now is 25.99PLN, so price now increased about 44% :(
I'm worried because it may be consequence of rising USD price, earlier one dollar cost about 3.50PLN, now it's cost >4USD. If it will not be a problem then please consider lowering the price, if you don't, then it still will be okay, this emulator is awesome and I will wait few months, maybe price of dollar returns to normal level 3.20-3.50PLN for 1USD

I lowered the Polish price back to 18.99 PLN. Note that this does incorporate a rather large (21%) VAT now, that was part of the reason of the discrepancy.

I'm going to try to keep the prices more regularly updated going forward, to compensate for changing exchange rates.

I have been checking the price to drop for the last month hoping it would drop as promised, as the tax we pay here is ridiculous. :(

Any chance you could be so kind as to drop the price to around $5.00 AUD for all us aussies? :)

So is there any chance I can get the $1 difference back? XD

All jokes aside, I'm surprised that you'd have to manually change the price. You'd think Google Play would automatically adjust the price or something.

Heh, I bought it when it was still $9.00. No complaints. Such a good emulator.

Please don't lower the prices any more! Anyone who is not willing to pay that little amount of money just doesn't deserve a software where you spent years of work! I'd pay 50$ as long as it's no subscription ;)

It's just the matter of loading up PHP250+ through a scratch card or at the local reloading station, and using it to pay for the app. ;)
