    Ya, hi...

    Can a dev or company person explain to me why the USA flag decal is 399 DB, when the majority of the other nation's flags cost 99%?

    USA: 399 DB
    UK: 99 DB
    France: 99 DB
    Wales (?): 99 DB
    Switzerland: 99 DB
    Sweden: 99 DB (thanks for Ikea)
    South Korea: 199 DB (random price increase there...)
    Spain 99 DB
    Slovenia: 199 (again, random... )
    Scotland: 99
    Russia: 199
    Belarus: 199
    Portugal 99
    Poland 99
    Norway 99
    New Zealand 199 (?)

    There's a few more, but they cap out at 199, except USA is 399. Serious devs? How about all flags are 99 and you stop stiffing people based on nothing other than the country they live in.

    Because capitalism.

    Also 'Muricans tend to be much more patriotic than others.

    USA flag decal is a heavy patch to wear.

    The free market did this.

    God bless the NC

    1. Because we have more, so milk more
    2. Because we have more, we have to distribute the wealth ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
    3. Because we like the american flag more than other countries like theirs?

    idfk, devs have not been the best at regulating prices. Like how most of the bundles are just all the items combined as well as the price to make it look good.

    America is richer and more prone to spending money on patriotism.

    Edit:
    Actually, the American flag is a discount. You only pay 4x more than others for their flag but your flag represents a whopping 50+ states!

    Trumplanders deserve to pay more, as a punishment for the election of their current (completely stupid) president! :D

    it makes perfect sense! 99 this one, 99 that one, 99 most of them,
    but then there is america! proclaimed "land of the 3"!
    so DBG added a little bit of 3dom to the 99 for you! :D

    It most likely had something to do with supply and demand.
    Im guessing the more expensive flag decals are the ones that people buy the most, so they can afford to raise the price because people will buy it regardless.

    because 400% more people are willing to buy the flag compared to any of the others.

    DBs experiment on: "How f*cking stupid can one be, to pay more for something than everyone else"
    ... well, the answer is:
