Service? What? Like charging all your EU customers the same price in a 1:1 ratio between dollars/euros? Or how about refusing refunds for any reason? Or maybe quoting pre-scripted responses to issues spouting out agreements and contacts?

I remember reading a quote from an executive over at Microsoft years back who said, 'The only way to stop piracy is to offer products people want at a price they are willing to pay.'
Sounds like this guy has a similar idea.
From Wikipedia :

It would certainly take a lot of work to get the structures in place, but its a good idea.
To be honest, that's not true. I've had Steam refund 3 or so games in the past.
Yup, they sure do.
Hmmmm.... I have suggest many times in the past and even offered Frogboy a lot of money before (he refused) specifically for this title. Anyway I do see it as the way of the future for serious gamers.
