Sadly, their game doesn’t seem to be available in my region on iOS.
- nottorp 8y agoSame here - Why would you region restrict a game and give up on sales?
- krapp 8y agoIt's usually to prevent consumers from one region buying it more cheaply in another region. There may also be issues of asset rights, censorship and copyright involved.
- nottorp 8y agoUh, what stops you from setting the same price in all regions?
- krapp 8y agoIf I had to guess, differences in currency value and return on investment in different markets, to get as much value out of each region as possible, while limiting the effect of trade between markets to drive prices down.
- nottorp 8y agoNote that we're talking about the iOS app store here, not physical goods... kinda hard to trade app store purchases between regions isn't it?
