@Ismaiel With commas I still have to pause a moment, but I can see it easier. It's much faster and easier due to repetition since that's what I've become accustomed to, to use commas rather than spaces.

Yeah anything to differentiate how many zeros are in a price would be great!

My only reason for commas (or periods) above spaces would be that with larger numbers the spaces might get a bit harder to see especially if buried in text, but that might not be a problem.
As for the not all countries use the comma, FR is an American Company. If I went to a European Gaming site, I would probably have to get used to them using Periods in their numbers as opposed to commas, so I don't really see the problem especially as this is currency, we don't have any partial currency (change) and the comma would only come in after 3 zeros when change typically has 2 zeros after the punctuation point anyways. Sure it might be confusing at the beginning to some, but I am sure most people could easily get used to it.

Support so much. I often have problems figuring out how many zero's something has, so even if it was just spaces, that would help so much!

I am not sure, but it shouldn't really be that hard to code options into the site. So say If Separator = 1 Then use , else if Separator = 2 then use . else if Separator = 3 use ' ' else show the same. Something like that.
The ability to choose your preferred method would be great :)

@Ismaiel @Guiliastes Because we know the admins value accessibility above all else. *looks at mouse-only Coli and icons with no text for screen-readers* But yes, there needs to be some way to differentiate large numbers. It'd be especially nice if you could choose commas or periods or to leave it as is.
