Path of Exile 2 Steam prices just doubled in my region.

Probably most of us will have more keys then will need, they said people with access will be able to invite friends at some point.

I saw reddit guys are giving away keys already, for example:

I hope they can bring it back even if it is just for the cheaper version. I feel like a punished fool for not being able to do a transaction a day before today. If they don't I guess it is clear Tencent gives them creational freedom but won't allow any amount of goodwill for people who don't make nearly enough money as first world countries do.


Tencent the boogeyman? I don't think so. It is probably Valve. It is usually Valve that suggest the regional pricing. Developers and Publishers usually just let Valve handle the pricing.
It is unfair, that there are regional prices for luxury goods like video games in the first place. Everybody should pay the same. This company deserves it and those luxury products are not a human right nor basic need. Those changes are probably intended.

The Free game that should be free is not free and the free game that should not be free cost money?

The hypocrisy is a contradiction.
It involves simultaneously holding and acting against that value.
The crazy part is VPN purchases are against steams TOS. How is it still allowed? BAN them all i tell you!
Totally NOT Betta-ah xdd

I've never said that.

Optional luxury products, including things like supporter packs, should be priced equally for everyone, regardless of location. These items are not necessities; they are extras for those who choose to and can afford to purchase them.
Luxury goods are typically priced consistently worldwide, and no one expects them to be cheaper in certain regions simply because of local economic conditions. If you can afford them, great; if not, you can simply do without.

Luxury goods are typically priced consistently worldwide, and no one expects them to be cheaper in certain regions simply because of local economic conditions. By this logic, regional pricing for such optional items is unnecessary, as they are not essential to anyone's well-being. If you can afford them, great; if not, you can simply do without.



If video games are luxury goods, most people shouldn't play video games. They can't afford video games. Only rich/wealthy ...

Blizzard sold 3 days early access for $120, POE 2 early access clearly need to be higher than that.

This really sucks. I was going to purchase it on the 6th, but the prices more than doubled in my region. Atl least put out an announcement or notice before you jack up the price!
