:(. I am lactose intolerant and whenever I have dairy products I become laden with lethal gas. If I could fart in their general direction for you I would. They would get everything quickly resolved if I was left with them in a room for an hour after consuming a glass of chocolate milk.

I was thinking the same thing Arleigh, however I did call my bank and they said all is clear with Origin on their end. I do still have a pending case with Origin about a fraudulent purchase on my account from last month though. Out of frustration I purchased an Origin Game Card today and I’m downloading Outdoor Retreat now. What a hassle!

Does anyone know an Origin promo code that can be applied when purchasing the Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat?

Thanks Darrell. My case has been escalated because the tech support person was unable to help and now it will be up to 5 days before someone will contact me. I’ll try your suggestion and see if it works.

The same thing happened to me and I got a call from my bank saying that they are aware of the fraud that has been happening with Origin so thats why my purchase wouldn’t go through. So chances are it was your bank denying it because of everything that has been happening with Origin.

Converting the american price into your own currency is just not how things work and to expect that is your own mistake. Yes, they were talking about $20 USD. For america. They are developers. They have no knowledge whatsoever about prices in the rest of the world and nobody should assume they would have. Especially if they never explicitly stated otherwise, which they didn’t.
If I had expected to pay $20 in my own currency, I would have expected to pay 17€, which I didn’t. I expected to pay 20€, because that’s how economy works and that’s what I’ve gotten used to after living in Europe for two decades.

On the flip side, we are getting an “inflated stuff pack” for the same price as the old stuff pack. To me, this is a great value for $20 comparatively.

I used to have similar problems ordering from Origin. Sometimes clearing our your registry and/or internet history helps, for some odd reason.

I am not talking about the exchange rate. There are way more factors that have to be taken into account. Even without the lower value of the australian Dollar and transport costs, there are still taxes, the size of the potential market and the average income of potential costumers. All this things add to a price as well. And those can not be influenced by a company.
