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.

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.
