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.

I feel like I’ve been left in the past with that Yen to USD conversion, like I swear back in 2009 when I lived there it was 1 dollar to 100 yen or even in the 90s. Then again game prices in Japan were always absurd at like 10k for a new AAA title.
