in Brazilian money, it went from R $ 80 to R $ 140

In INR it went from Rs 989 to Rs 2699, so that's like 2.7x. However the price on Epic is still the same. I hope it's a temporary error. Was really looking forward to buy it (a week before release).

Dear Players!

In some countries, The Medium was mistakenly priced with a huge discount. When it was brought to our attention, we researched the issue and made necessary corrections, which sometimes resulted in a price increase. We did consider specifics of each market, though, so regional prices are still often lower when compared to the base USD price. If you pre-ordered the game at the old price, you won't have to make any additional payments - your pre-order is still valid and the price change doesn't apply to past transactions. We consider the current prices as final and plan no further changes.

Not buying even on discount, just tired with publishers and developers avoiding regional pricing. But all the best for the game it can only be enjoyed by gamers from developed nations who are used to this kind of pricing.
The game I buy on launch gets big discount later even with Very positive reviews and game I don't buy ie preorder suddenly gets high price hike.
Thronebreakers day 1 $9 day 2 it's $35, already market for PC games is low here and with prices like this I don't know.
My steam friend from my region always defends AAA developers/publishers etc who go for $45-$75 price range he says they deserve it etc they worked harder etc no need to follow steam regional pricing etc but the funny thing my friend never bought any pc games on it's launch while I do buy games on launch he waits 5-10 years for 75-95% discount.
Sega sold Shenmue 1&2 for $45 in my region while I bought Shenmue 3 Deluxe for $5 on Epic store the original price was just $25.

It's sad, few publishers more surprising microsoft, WB etc sell their AAA games at least most of them at the price range of $15-$29. Even Koei Tecmo only Japanese co that follow regional pricing 98% of the time for my region.

Sega and namco just randomly gives selective regional pricing for few games.

Capcom. 505 Games, Activison, CDPR, EA, Square Enix, UBI and few more consider our region economically stronger than even the US.

But luckily 505 Games made a small mistake they priced Ghost runner at $8 instead of $26 and some how I ended up buying it for $8 on Epic store within a day the price was hiked, I was lucky for 1st time that too a game published by 505 Games at lower price.

I wish publishers don't mistake price and lower them like this then hike it and say it was just a small error, I have seen this for many games here.
One time a Korean publisher suddenly hiked price of a Visual Novel I didn't buy as it didn't have English translation, I asked them what suddenly changed for price hike, they said when English version comes price will be adjusted they said something like price was hiked so some people in Korea don't misuse lower price of that game in our region or other region, I was confused at that reply but at least they told that price will be adjusted.

That may apply to some regions, but what about the European price?
You went from having a price that was equivalent to the USD price (probably applying Steam's recommended regional pricing), to a price that is far higher than the price in USD.
How is 44,99€ equal to 44,99USD? Or £35,99?
Why does the UK have regional pricing, but not the EU?

The economy does not work exactly like that, the Brazilian Real does not have the same value as the dollar, it was an extremely high price, but the game is yours, I will "play" for the youtube videos

Epic store still has regional pricing as before,but you can't do regional pricing here? How can one game have such a large (50%) price difference on two different stores.unless you wanted it that way...
