Make store prices accessible for LATAM (Argentina)

Please, do something like Steam did or whatever works for you and us. The prices are insane when you make the conversion to our coin. Think about that the cheapest supporter pack is USD60 that means it would cost us $8634 pesos and that's the cheapest. The one in the middle is $160 or $23025 pesos, that's almost a minimum wage here.

Just saying.

The problem there is that other people outside your country will use VPN's to bypass the normal price to get your cheaper price (has happened before and will happen again in most online games)

As it is you'll just need to make do with base armour and the event prizes, that or spend 51 pesos on a skin transfer (you CAN actually get some fairly good results through skin transfers) or if they ever do twitch loot again.

Don't think that's the reason, they have done it for Brazil, in fact you used to be able to buy with AR$ on the Brazil page, but it was removed apparently.

Complaining about this too, not being able to pay anymore, Boa compra now requires a CPF (you have to be brazilian or resident) id. So we actually don't have an option or method of payment in our region anymore. Any suggestions?

By the way you are that smart that thinks food here is tagged with foreign currency? think by a sec before post something stupid please.
The accessibility was here, but they work with a mediocre payment supplier which is Boa Compra.

These guys (Boa Compra) are a total joke. They have been adding and removing countries from their list every single month. Also, their customer support by email is slow, confusing and full of unpleasant people. They don't respond to any of your questions, and instead they ask you for a lot of documentation. Once you send it, they never get back to you again, regardless of how many friendly reminders you send.

From my side, I communicated this situation to GGG in june 2020 and they responded that they're are always looking into their payment vendors. I also started this thread long ago:

IMO, the solution comes from GGG looking for a decent vendor in LATAM, if they want to retain their customer base here.

So, it is exchange rate problem (i.e. the payment agency e.g. paypal, xosolla , etc charge too much margin)

Or GGG should lower the price globally? (or your problem of thinking mtx is a must?)

OP is asking for "region prices", se wants the store to be set as a regional purchasing power.

The problem in post #2 is still there...

Steam and Epic do this to get as much money as possible.

Those are far larger companies than GGG... even if the VPN problem wasn't there (which it is), the cost for GGG would be prohibitive compared to any extra income they'd get.
I'm fairly certain those two companies has mechanics in place to prevent people from using VPNs for buying. Their scale makes that feasible...
