WTF is this price?

[HoriZonT™]

Bro, in my currency I'll be paying 70 dollars (And it would be the base game)

In comparison:

*Baldur's Gate 3 > costs 59,99 ~ BRL 199,00
*Elden Ring > costs USD 59,99 ~ BRL 229,00 (with dlc: BRL 309,90 deluxe edition BRL 387,50)
*Black Myth: Wukong > costs USD 59,99 ~ BRL 229,00 (Deluxe edition BRL 279,99)
*Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 > costs US59,99 ~ BRL 199,00 (deluxe Edition 309,90 and Ultra Edition 359,00)
*GUNDAM BREAKER 4 > costs USD 59,99 ~ 232,50 (Deluxe 349,90 and Ultimate 387,50)
*Dragon's Dogma > costs USD 59,99 ~ 279,00 (deluxe 319,00)

*KCD2 base game costs USD 59,99 ~ BRL 299 ("deluxe" BRL 398,00)
===================================================================
According to this site > (https://www.usa.gov/minimum-wage) The Minimum wage in USA is 7,25 per hour. I'm assuming people commonly works 40h a week so it means you'll earn US1160 per month. That being said, the proportion you'll be expending of your money in tripleA games is more or less 5%.

In Brazil we earn per day (The calculus per hour only happens in specific situations, so let's ignore it for now). The minimum wage in Brazil is precisely BRL 1412 per month and 47,06 per day (We always use 30 days for the base calculus). KCD costs approximately 21% of the salary the majority of the Brazilians receive. Elden Ring/Black Myth Wukong costs approximately 16%.

While you, fellow americans, have to work 1 day to buy this game, we Brazilians have to work like 5 days to pay what Elden Ring asks, and for KCD almost 6 and a half days. (Not every job pays for extra hours though).

Fun information: The correct price for AAA games in Brazil is BRL 199,00 14% of the minimum wage. That's the most acceptable here and is the price used since the beginning of times.
===================================================================

edit1: this is obviously a hyperbole, I'm well aware that the game isn't 70 bucks. But this is my logic: the difference in prices considering the minimum wage is about 16%, if you add it to 59,99 you'll get ~69 dollars. And even if you disagree with my crazy math, 299 BRL is about 54 dollars and I said 70, so its clearly a hyperbole either way.

edit2: d1ck salad eater: someone who pays for a bad/overpriced product. In general this person will defend a company and its practices without being paid for it.

In Switzerland, the regular edition costs CHF 67.90 (USD 79.85)
and the deluxe thing CHF 90.50 (USD 106.42)


It's highway robbery, but i really don't care tbh. Not touching this title with a 10 ft pole for the next 4 years until it's patched and polished, so i will likely get that during a sale for a fraction of the cost.

Game studios in general need to pull their head out of their behind with those prices, but that's no skin off my back. More than plenty of excellent titles to spend my free time on, so that's their sales figures to tank.

Yes, I'm not in a rush to play KCD 2. I just complained because I wanted to buy it at a reasonable price.

just wait for a sale then ? if you're not in a rush the game will go on sale eventually or if u want cheaper just go buy it from retailer stores

game is $80 my end. just do the smart thing and don't buy it. if your just there for the story watch a video when someone publishes it so you get the story you wanted without the over pricing.

Is what I will be doing because it sounds like a remastered and tweaked version of the same exact story line as the og. parents killed run off and fight, boring. If they wanted to do the same wars in the same time period they could've did a sequel from another characters perspective instead of same old Henry.

its a sequel duh dumass lmao obviously gonna continue the story in a different area in the country , besides henry and copon were sent to discuss the matter why would they show different perspectives lmao , if u wanna call it that then the whole darksouls series is the same you fighting to become the lord XD

10% as always

could have to do with your country's inflation at the time of each games release, kcd2 is a much later release then them, thus longer time for inflation to rise, while still being 59.99USD

Nah, the studio decided the price without proper research (As I showed on the first post)

Once again, cut with the reverse blaming. the link below shows that the game is overpriced, and these recommended prices are already inflation adjusted.

Just buy some money.

According to the Steam chart as of this moment, $60 USD should cost 328 BRL unconverted. Steam's suggested price is currently a 45% discount in BRL.

I dunno. It's not easy to sympathize with 45% discount.

Dunno where you got that misinformation about "Steam chart" from, but that info is objectively in the wrong.

This was the last major Steam pricing matrix update:

... which SteamDB also follows to reflect the recommended price.

Brazilian Real is being charged +85% of recommended.

Steam has nothing to do with what a completely separate company charges for its own product

And that company is overcharging beyond the inflation adjusted prices, so what does that tell you?
