Absurdly High Regional Pricing for many regions

[MegaApple]

For the same $59.99 :
Vampire Bloodlines 2 (ie Steam's Standard Regional Pricing for $59.99)

Death Stranding :

Compared to Bloodlines, Death Stranding is more than 3x times more expensive here in Indonesia.

It's crazy.

I was really excited for Death Stranding and DOOM Eternal, but 4000 INR is just too much for a student like me. These publishers need to get their ♥♥♥♥ together, it is because of these absurd prices that people move towards piracy

It would have been nice if you had made mention of South Asia region that comprises of not one, not two, but SEVEN poor countries, where this game's asking price is $60, which is a massive 300% hike compared to Bloodlines!

But it doesn't end there. What's even worse is that they can't even pay in their own currency, they have to pay in USD! This currency conversion makes the pricing even more ridiculous than it already is. Is there anything worse than that?

Well, will look forward to play this game in 2022

91.15$ in Israel (+51.95%)
Thanks to GMG for selling it for 50$

It's almost like none of you ever had to buy games in the 90's.

[Abhi_Gamer]

Wish they would adjust the pricing !!

[Móres]

cmon 505, adjust the pricing

[Alex⚡]

Terrible regional pricing.

[potionjunkie]

If you don't set fair regional pricing you're begging people to sail the high seas. Disclaimer i live in the US and always buy on steam.

[klapaucius]

Please change pricing in Malaysia

Not an excuse, when other publishers can actively make sure that the games are made affordable and accessible in markets which are not Americas, EU and Japan, I don't see how publishers like 505 gonna have an issue. If it is an issue, then Steam wouldn't have rolled out the system in the first place.

And Death Stranding pricing for PC is the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing, it costs more than a PS4 copy right now.

Funny because Kojima wanted everyone to play this and connect with each other, while 505 made the pricing so trash that majority of SEA countries are getting screwed because of how pricey it is.

Couldn't have put it any better.

For some reason in my country (Israel) this is only game that is over 90 dollars usually games don't go over 70 when the msrp is 60 USD

As you can see Israel at the moment is the most expensive region by far to purchase death stranding.

Publishers and developers please take note and solve this if possible!
