Why is the game more expensive in Kazakhstan than in Norway? Why is it 25% cheaper in Singapore? Why is Brazil more expensive than Japan? Why is Pakistan/South Asia the same price as the U.S?

Atleast before, Turks and Argentine people got the cheapest price (and that made sense with hyperinflation and low purchasing power) but now they nerfed that shit.

Whatever turkish people or argentineans have the money or connections to buy games at this point will pay the full exchange rate

This is what pisses me off the most. Why are 10 year-old games basically full price? I remember when old games where sold for a few bucks...

Also 10 year old games usually have their multiplayer servers shut down so there is literally no point in buying them anymore

I remember when community servers were a thing.

thats the problem innit, we live off our labor. i shouldn't have picked hard mode

I remember vividly this rich family talking about how they could buy whatever version of Playstation was out back in the early 2010s. Meaning that they paid the full speculative price of thousands of dollars.

It's a big world out there and games only sell a few million globally.
