Living in Third World Country

[Anil D]

Think like you have a job and you make 2500 $/€ whatever and F1 2020 was 60 $/€. Everything seems ok from there.But suddenly EA buy CM and the brand new F1 2021 is priced by 400 $/€. Would you buy it?

I think now you guys can understand why we all get pissed and sad.

In example,i live in Turkey.
Here is the minimum wage is 3500 TRL which nearly 350 euro or 400 usd.We all getting pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard by taxes and economic problems.Games were the only fun and runaway from our bigger issues. How can these people like me can afford that game?

I dont want to spend my %20 of my monthly salary on a game.

We need reasonable regional pricing like in past years.Otherwise these games like nfl fifa f1 would not be sold even a bit.

I hope i explanied myself clearly,and sorry for grammar errors,my english is not perfect

Thanks for reading.


EDIT


I would like to thank you all for your sensitivity and understanding. I hope everyone in the world can access the games cheaply and easily.

The simple answer is you wait for a sale. I bought F1 2020 Schumacher Edition for the PlayStation 4 Pro when it was on sale. I have yet to buy it for my PC. Once July rolls around the Schumi edition should be under $18.

I buy every F1 game on Steam but I wait for a sale because it new version is just a few tweaks and small enhancements.

I'm all for buying games on sale, no point paying full price when you can wait a few months and get a discount + most launch bugs fixed.
But i think the point is OP shouldn't have to wait for a sale, they should be pricing these games fairly by region.

How can it be fair to price games by region ?

Since when Turkey is a third world country?

[Massa 88]

in my country last year was 69 eur now is 75 eur for delux edition

[Bucherebis]

They increased the price for every country other than USA. Even countries with good economies had a increase of 5 or 10 dollars. EA gonna EA.

Ironic because this is exactly what OP is trying to address. When the game gets to be on sale, the season it portrays will be almost obsolete and we will be buying by a launch pricetag or even more.

Unless it will be -90% sale. But it won't. Even -50% still will be insanely overpriced.

Ea codemasterla anlaşma yaptığında dedim fiyatlar yükselicek diye bide utanmadan EA play pro üyeliği istiyor bazı oyunlar için. Türkiyede kimse alamaz alanlarda zengin olanlardır ama bence fiyatların yüksek olması ülkeyle alakalı değil ben 1998 den beri Ea games oyunları alırım ozamandan beri pahalıydı evet bu kadar değildi ama fiyatlar yüksekti. ayrıca diğer bir sebebi de xbox ve pc oyunları aldıgında iki taraflı kullanabildiginden ve xbox da Ea ile anlaşmalı olduğundan fiyatları playstation ve xbox daki gibi yüksek tutuyorlar diye düşünüyorum. Oyunları almak istiyorsak indirimi bbeklemekten başka caremiz yok gibi görünüyor. İngilizcende kötü değil gayet güzel.

Don't act like every country wages are equal.

If you can't afford the game...How can you afford a Computer to run it..
That's like not being able to afford the petrol for your BMW

I can explain that but it think you wouldnt understand.
Like these games also pc components are much more expensive than eu countries. a low-end pc is cost by 2-3 month of minimum salary to run games in 2021.


Everything is overpriced in Turkey,Brazil,Argentina etc. because of Exchange Rates Turkish Lira is losing it's power for almost 20 years since the current goverment came up. The all teens and young adults like me hates this order because everything in these countries are getting expensive day by day. We cant afford that.I'm sorry to bother you and all the fellas are reading this.
But there is a different world out there and maybe you will empathize.I dont wanna be dramatic but it is what it is.
