You'd be buying PC games as a homeless person?
The reason regional pricing makes sense is that costs for most things are lower in other regions, like rent and food, and therefore so are the salaries. That would mean a $60 game can cost as much as half a month's rent.
- asdff 7y agoHomeless people can own PCs and cell phones, believe it or not. But homeless, broke, college student, single parent, paycheck to paycheck, medical bills, etc. lots of reasons why a $60 game can be completely out of reach for a lot of people in the U.S., so why can't we have subsidized low income pricing here as well, if the whole point of regional pricing is to get games into the hands of people who can't afford to spend $60 on the title? If you want more low income customers, set the worldwide price of your product lower. Don't arbitrarily ban entire countries from buying your digital game.
