Agradecele a todas las personas que tienen cuentas "argentinas".

For Russia, too, the game and all the DLC have risen sharply

I love this game. This is one of the best modern JRPGs for everyone.
"Thanks" for making it slightly more inaccessible to new players?..
The game was released MORE THAN FOUR YEARS ago.
What is the point of doubling (RU) the price for this product?

i know this is a stupid rant and its technically not their fault that the money the devs are getting is much less, i paid actually 50c for the game 50 USD CENTS! when it was at -85% discount, but the truth is that our money peso argentino, or russian ruble is devaluating more and more and our salaries dont even get raised imagine that a mere game cost 10% or more of your salary? screw regional pricing i guess?, and 650$ ARS of 4 years ago was like 20 dollars actualy right now 2500$ is still 20 dollars(the legal one not the one that a common people can get) but my salary didnt went 400% at all in 4 years more like 150% or less and with a hyperinflation is even worse here

El_Verdugo, it's all right, I completely understand you. This is a painful subject for discussion. Steam has always been a place where prices mostly have been regulated, but when publishers set one price for a product for the whole world, this is where it gets ridiculous, especially compared to fixed prices.
I suppose that the reason for the increase in the price of individual titles — is their sales. If the product sells, you can sell it for more. It doesn't matter if the product loses a certain number of potential players. But this is just an assumption.
P.S. Major console games literally cost 1/4 of the salary of people in many regions of Russia.

[RigenX]

Wow, just wow.
Talk about being stupid and raising prices like that. Now people in the regions like Russia or Argentina will either wait for MAJOR dscounts(like75-85%), or just pirate it.
Like our lord and savior Gaben once said about regional prcing, something akin to these words.
"You're either getting atleast some money from the customers, or none at all."
Because enyone with half a brain can guess, that people which live in countries that have huge problems with salaries and the like, wont really be able to buy stuff with price increase like that. But i guess they dont care. Well, less money for them. Greedy bastards.

[『ZweiRin』]

4 year old game. And u rising price when need push em down. Hey, Namco, are u okay? You now lose sales. Yeah.

Although this is not good, they're doing it because Valve doesn't seem to care to stop people abusing regional prices but at this rate maybe this will never happen and the abuse will move to other regions where eventually the price will be raised as well until everyone pays the same price, which is not good because in weaker economies people don't get the same income.

remember they already somewhat fixed now you need a local emited card to buy on latin america so if you dont have an account in argentina with a card from argentina or other country from the same region you wont be able to buy it even with VPN
i got youngblood for 225 ARS plus the 65% taxes on digital purchases (thanks comunism) and my brother from spain had an argentine card but obviously he couldnt use it to purchase in steam since he was obviously in spain and changed region, so at least we are safe from vpn abusing for the most part

[Hodman]

Pero el problema es que eso solo afecta a cuentas nuevas, las cuentas viejas siguen abusando los precios regionales y no les pasa nada, mucha gente alardea de eso en Facebook o Discord.

También hay quienes se prestan para crear cuentas en estas regiones por dinero u otro tipo de recompensa.

I notice it's $50 USD....figured this would be 10 bucks at most by now....very strange unless it's because they are trying to capitalize on their recent resurgence between Scarlet Nexus and in a couple months tales of arise

It's close to that price during sales but this thread is about regional prices which increased quite a lot, specifically ARS. Your USD store has the same price as before.

[LazyAmerican]

A fair outlook for brand new games....this one however is several years old and still going for $50 USD as if it were CoD.
