I understand the VAT thing (pain in the neck, got to do my return in a few weeks), but it's not that that is irking me. It's the fact that the first post clearly states the game will cost $19.99 and yet when you try to purchase it tells me it is €19.99 - if that price is inc. VAT, then the exclusive of VAT price is €16.80 which is still around $24.50 so we're still paying $5 over the US price if we give you the VAT allowance.
Now I'm looking at my return and thinking have you got the best deal here with e-license - I don't know how they work, but it appears to me that the software is supplied by OOTP Developments GMbH at no cost - it doesn't cost anything to get the program on your computer. The cost is incurred when you purchase a license which you do via e-license. They should be therefore the ones to be VAT liable. When I buy OOTP my money isn't going to Germany, it's going to somewhere in the United States isn't it. e-license then send OOTP money for every license they sell (in the form of a commission), and as far as I know commission payments aren't subject to VAT.
