anyone explain me this please ...i will follow you as thankfullness

It is pretty straightforward, different countries have different cost, this is linked to internal economical parameter: inflation, cost of living, taxe, labour cost, raw material cost... If you go to Japan it is very expensive, but salary are also high.
On top of that on internet money transaction and conversion you will have to include transaction fees. So euro, dollar and other will have additional fees.

The funny thing is the big mac is a item in real life . tanki is only a imaginary tank which is found in a game system. for players joining would like to see the numbers cause for what I see when I can see at my old age -- the numbers have been going down for players joining. for the sales only he would know

the game might be virtual, but the computer, the internet network, the servers and electricity used are also really real life items.

Now, if globalization was really for the people, we could all buy the Hopper thing at a Russian price. 

You can try to get the russian salary too, let see if you are happy with that.

@krish123-super The Big Mac index is an example of Purchasing power parity (PPP)

Main thing is that exchange rates of currencies only tell you so much

So if I were to go and work somewhere where a typical monthly salary might be a few hundred dollars per month, I'd have to look at what a few hundred dollars can buy there instead of compare it to a typical monthly salary where I live

In some markets, a high-volume and low-margin approach makes most sense to maximize profit, while in others a higher margin will generate more profit. Thus the relative prices reflect more than currency values. For example, a hamburger costs only €1 in France, and €1.50 in Belgium, but overall, McDonald's restaurants in both countries cost roughly the same.^[18] Prices of Big Macs can also vary greatly between different areas within a country. For example, a Big Mac sold in New York City will be more expensive than one sold at a McDonald's located in a rural area.^[19]

One other example is that Russia has one of the cheapest Big Macs, despite the fact that Moscow is the most expensive city in the world.^[20][21] Standard food ingredients are cheap in Russia, while restaurants suitable for business dinners with English speaking staff are expensive.

What would you say about Netflix, Spotify or Steam Games? I moved to Russia a week ago and you know what, Spotify Premium costs almost 2 euro per month here (instead of 9.99).

Not sure about Netflix but as far as I know it costs much cheaper here.

Steam games. Fall Guys priсe is 5,18 euro instead of 19.99. SteamDB has literally the same chart for this game: https://steamdb.info/app/1097150/

It is not worth spending 140 euros on a video game in the middle of a global pandemic. And less for a early access.

[krish123-super 11]

 then an offtopic topic should be created so we all get more idea ...ofcourse its for me ehehhe

The thing is, you are not forced to purchase the early access bundle. This bundle exists for people who do not have the patience to wait and want to try the hull before everyone else. It's pretty much like pre-ordering a game.

[HichigoShiiro 4,378]

looks like they didnt meet their quota to rip players off, had to extend the early access  

[krish123-super 11]

ah come on, thats not for anxous people to get a early access, it is the fact so they can get more money

10,000 rupees is my 10th class 1 year school fee , as one thing, I should not compare such things never mind 

arey yaar uski untna aukath he nahi hai,  ya pagal loge game kay keliya das hazar ko barbad kartey hai OoF

aur uskey uper yak update ..... -_-

Yeah i know but the price of the bundle is ridiculous to the actual situation. You like to compare Tanki with others game's so is worth bought a 140 euros bundle? With 140 euros on other's games you can buy everything. All on tanki is so expensive, look the price of the stars or the price of one alteration.

sir I understand on pricing . ( also I have no clue what Spotify thing was until now ) for students its only $4.99 per month and why would you pay for music when you-tube gives it too you for free . or else where on radios ..

now regarding the topic at hand its mostly if you look into it why would you end up having Ares in the garage for only 100 crystals , but then you end up having to buy the Hopper hull for cash.. this is what confuses players. like I complained before with the Past CM .. its not right to give one party advantageous over others . try to make this game balanced in both game and shop / garage  items . this way you have less complaints ( from me lol ) .. see having the hopper in the shop to buy gave others who paid for it advantageous to get more practice on using it and also upgrading the hull . so when it comes down to when its released in the garage ( if it happens ) the game wont be balanced . The Dev CM always likes to keep the game Mechanic system balanced ( or something like this ) for all to have the similar balanced matches .

Right? if we wanna compare tanki to other games, lets take the new MSFS 2020 for example, 140 euro gets you the whole game with 5 extra planes and stuff. Or GTA 5, 140 euro is enough to buy the game like 10 times. Or Euro truck simulator, 140 euro is enough to buy the entire map of europe and some extra upgrades for the trucks. Can drive around for hours! I can keep going... but yes, this price is not worth at all for a small tank that's not even going to be fully upgraded.

That's the problem, all is expensive on Tanki Online.

Dear developers, please exclude supplies stuff from the Ultra Containers! This is absolutely frustrating while you earn them hard in the missions or even buying them (especially current offer 100 pcs for such a high price) and see the 125 DA or 125 DD or 125 mines or 3500 cry. As you have mentioned "Updated" Ultra Containers, let them bring to us the skins, effects, augments, perhaps 100k cry but not supplies please! Also be so kind to increase the final prize to 5000 tc in Challenges instead of 100. You can't even buy a regular container for 100 tc in the shop, so it looks so cheap benefit for a hard Challenge and for 5000 tc you can buy a set at least. Hope it will be heard!

@suspended I think most people would buy a Mk7 product kit with 5000 (+390) tankoins, so nope

Well 5k Tankicoins are a lot. They can simply make it around 1000 or 500.

I would like you to take a look on something called Big Mac index.

It may help you to understand the price difference.

"the opportunity to rip us off" Are you serious? Just don't buy it if you do not want to check it earlier than others... 

You honestly think that over 100 euros for a bundle (especially just a mk1) is not trying to rip off players. Give your loose head a serious shake, wake up from la la land and go buy a big mac.

And it has nothing to do with the devs trying to squeeze as much money from players as they can, that is their motive. You can fool the kids and the gullible, but the actual intelligent players among us no why it's being extended. GREED.
