If LSL serves only to objectify women, then doesn't Grand Theft Auto serve only to glorify crime?
I always felt like these games were less about the women, and more about the comedy, stupidity and repulsiveness of the main character.

Whilst that would be exciting and interesting - I think it will only be something boring like a dividend.
I guess it's particularly frustrating when you compare it to a company like Valve - who set the same prices for Australia as they do for the US (not sure about other regions) for all of their new releases. Even Apple have brought the App Store price tiers almost to parity between the two regions.
I suppose that they did do the math though - as you said - I think they just priced me into ordering an import instead. A quick look around has shown a few online retailers offerring it for less than $AUD 60.
Meow.
The Australian dollar is currently worth (marginally) more than the US Dollar, and yet the game costs an extra $20 here. I don't understand how this is justifiable.
I know some of my iPadless colleagues would love an iPhone version. Any plans to add universal support? Or even a separate version?
