Negative. As someone who lives in a 3rd-world country where minimum wage is $0.75/hr, even a senior accountant position would be lucky to earn $750/mo working 10-12hours a day. So pardon me for not favoring the idea of "equals price for everyone".

For us down here, it's either Steam Regional Pricing or the high sea.
