Yes, clearly.
Anyways, for the topic at hand regional price is slowly being a thing of the past. New games from big publishers go full international price
If its any consolation, some of the more... aggressive pubs seem to have walked things back somewhat, and some are intentionally undercutting the big players to make their games more attractive.
Guys, trying to sell at US price parity on
STEAM , of all places, won't make your net sales go up. People in less well-off regions aren't magically going to earn more money to pay for your pricier games, theyre either going to wait for a deep sale (at which point theres a big chance another, more appealing game gets bought instead) or just pirate it outright when the crack drops.
If you dont agree with Valve's recommended regional pricing, sure, raise the price a bit. If your game has got strong appeal, it's still gonna sell. But put some fucking thought into it instead of matching the US price and calling it a day.
