Xeshra: Why do you think Steam is setting up a "recommended regional pricing" while some publishers are adjusting it to their own values? Whats the whole idea of regional pricing?

So, everyone can afford it? Is it true that everyone in those affected countries can afford it? More likely, the gape between wealthy and not wealthy is at a record value at every single location around the world.

The basic idea is "in order to get out the maximum possible" which means not going lower than necessary but as well "not above the pain threshold". The individual matters nothing, it is the majority of any given "targeted location" setting up "the accepted deal".

However... the difference between a car and a game is: A car got a limited quantity and some material value, while a game got a as good as unlimited quantity and usually no material value. So the possible "margin" of a game is huge... the only thing that is important: They need to get sufficient sales, so the quantity comes first.

You want my game? Well, GOG could make 1 trillion copys out of it if sufficient demand. You want my car? Oh, this car is a huge rarity already... i guess in my country not much more than 1000 in a good shape are left from this type, i guess... get it or its gone. Luckily... there are still "other cars", but same will count for "other games"... simply perhaps not the car or the game you may truly want.

I was in Austria and was in need of parts "the mechanic said, there are only 3 of this car in the whole country"... as soon as i was arriving in Hungary the number left was pretty exactly 1... it was mine that was temporary available there, until the car was gone after my travel. Luckily. nothing ever happened there... else i would be doomed.

So... games is another thing... but in the end... we all are setting a certain value into it, no matter for what reason.
