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.

    Lmao, that game costs around 25% of Brazil’s minimum monthly wage (R$1412), and a little over 10% of the average monthly wage (R$2924, according to a quick google search). And that doesn’t take into account how expensive a gaming PC or console would be. An RTX 3060 costs around R$2000. I’m still rocking a GTX 1080, stretching it to its limits.

    I’ve only bought two games over the past five years: Elden Ring and RDR2. I paid R$250 and R$200 for them, respectively. Everything else I either buy when I see a crazy discount, or I just pirate it.

    It’s hard to understate how fucking expensive everything is in Brazil, for someone who lives here and earns the local currency.
