Have you played Dragon Hunter: Alliance? You know, the game you can pick up for $12.99 on PSN, or for $0.99 on the iTunes Store? It’s a pretty cool little game, priced exactly right for what you get. Unless, of course, you’re getting it on the PS Vita.

That’s because Ubisoft, publisher of the game and money-grubber galore, has pushed the price for the Vita version up to $39.99. And it’s not like the Vita version is a different experience designed specifically for the Vita—it’s a simple port with a few additional features.

I’d do the math on exactly what percentage that mark-up would be, but I’m not good with numbers. So, I’ll just assume it’s a markup of shitload percent, which I’m sure is fairly close to the actual amount. Ubisoft isn’t really known for caring about its customers, but a price gouge of this magnitude is almost unprecedented.

So, yeah, if you want to play Dragon Hunter: Alliance, just pick it up on your iPhone, iPad or PS3. Or, if you’re into throwing your money away, on the Vita.
