Blizzard recently announced a Christmas sale on its United States and European websites offering savings on World of Warcraft. The savings offered to European consumers were neither equal on pricing or what was offered on sale. Blizzard is within its rights to charge whatever they want for their products and have generally charged more in the European market on most occasions, however there has been precedence set in 2010 where European consumers were offered an equal saving to the United States. A disparity is understandable, the degree of the disparity at over 300% is not acceptable, 


We the undersigned request that Blizzard EU should either declare why European consumers are being charged more for comparative products or offer a more equal and fair offer to European consumers.

The momentum behind this is undeniable. Blizzard needs to address this gap now.

it is just plain greedy. we pay more for subs usually anyway but a 300% difference on a sale is just slapping us in the face.
