I’d rather force companies to not use third world labor so they stop suppressing our salaries and pushing down investment in first world labor productivity.
The game is being sold to the third world only exist because the first world is paying as much money as they are.
It’s literally a scheme to extract more money out of people. It should be illegal to prevent people from the ability to use things like VPNs to get those cheaper prices opening up the market and ensuring the prices actually match supply and demand.
The fact that they’re making more net money from those regions than they otherwise would, by definition, makes it literally impossible for you to be subsidizing them. The alternative is not listing in those regions, not lowering prices for you. There is no theoretical world where you get a cheaper price in developed countries without regional pricing in lower income regions.

The alternative is marginally lower prices for the first world and higher prices for the third world as the prices become global instead of a massive grift which charges you based on how much money you’re able to spend.
May all regional pricing end. I do not want to subsidize development costs for third world nations.
I suspect you’ll gladly accept their seriously undercharged labor though

Do you really think they’re going to make more revenue by making the pricing more than they’re willing/able to pay?
Because if publishers did, they wouldn’t offer regional pricing.
Oh I think they are making more revenue by charging the first world more, but I also think they shouldn’t be able to get away with it.
“Making more revenue with negligible cost of distribution” and “we’re subsidizing poor countries” are not compatible.
Yeah they are.

No, they are not.
