Will GGG Address the Regional Price Changes on Steam?

Well, I'm truly disappointed they changed back the prices on POE packs back. For the first time I see reasonable prices that I can actually afford, I was about to get the King of faridun pack. Sadly, the normal prices are just out of market for my country. I hope they can see that and make a post about this or rethink their decision about these prices for some countries. I'm from Colombia, just check the minimum salary in like 30 seconds.

Probably better to contact them directly with this vs a forum post. Kind of like writing your local politician with letters/emails. Maybe if they get enough complaints, they'll change something.

Removing regional pricing without a single mention and then ignoring the community for over a week is such a petty move by a supposedly pro-consumer company.

it's 14 usd in my region so i'm not complaining lol

Some countries like RU and BR have regional pricing here on their website, but for most of us this change doubled the price in our respective currencies on steam.

Ignore the trolls, friends. Keep asking for the clarification of regional pricing !

The game is free to play. You are not entitled to take part in Early Access just because you feel like it. Wait until the game releases or keep playing PoE 1. If you just want to see what the game is about, Twitch will be hosting tons of channels that stream their playthroughs.

It's not a question of "feeling entitled," it's a question of having steam offer a fair price for people in third world countries only for GGG to remove that system a few days later, without saying a word, effectively doubling the price for anyone that hadn't got their paycheck yet.

Regional pricing exists by default on steam for a reason. Do you think $30 feels the same for someone that makes $250 a month as it does to someone that makes $5000? That's why Russians and Brazilians pay less (when converted to USD) here on the POE website.

It's not a question about feelings. If you want to take part in a First World activity (playing video games) on a Third World salary, you need to understand that comes at a cost. In any case, like I said before, the game is FREE TO PLAY. You don't have to pay anything. You want to get Early Access? Cool. Pay up. If not you can still play Path of Exile 1 or wait for the full release.

Gaming is a first world activity since when?

Players logging in from "third-world" countries absolutely DWARF the player counts from USA and EU. I'm not going to post a screenshot but look up the numbers. Do you realize how dumb you sound?

The game is not releasing as free to play until 2025. They doubled the price for early access without saying a word, and people would like an explanation. It's time for reflection on your part.

We should just ignore the trolls. The regional pricing does not even affect them. They just want to say something that does not even concern them.

Make a Fiverr account or something and offer up your skills there (assuming you have any). Maybe as a translator seeing as your English is OK.

See? I just gave you a way out of poverty. You're welcome.

Get over yourself. They can ask for regional pricing and it's up to GGG to decide if it's feasible. You are, for some reason, obsessed with this issue. Let it go.

See? I just gave you a way out of being insufferable. You are most welcome.
