Actually that is EXACTLY how business works. Maybe thatâs not how things work in your little e-bay focused world, but real brick-and-mortar businesses charge different prices based on whichever country they are based in. Do you think Starbucks in Indonesia charge $6 for a cup of coffee? Be real. Businesses in the USA even regionally charge depending on where in this country they are located!
Iâm not sure how this concept confuses you. I thought I explained it pretty clearly. Itâs honestly just common sense if you actually think about it.
Alright, if thatâs how youâre going to talk, I can tell you that your little Starbucks focused world is a completely irrelevant and silly example. Because at the very least Starbucks in Indonesia pays Indonesian salaries to their staff, not to mention cost and sources of ingredients they use.
IMC donât have branches all over the world, their business is in South Korea and thatâs where they develop this game, while having to pay South Korean rent, pay South Korean salaries, etc.
Do you finally understand the difference? THEY ARE LOCATED IN SOUTH KOREA, not in Brasil, not in Indonesia, not in Africa. There is only ONE place where this game was developed.
Because using ME as an example is a MUCH better example, right? You literally used a single person selling something on e-bay as an example of an international company and have the audacity to talk about the absurdity of a legitimate example. Iâm done here. You have nothing of even minor value to contribute. If you ever gain some common sense, Iâll be here waiting for you.
Well thenâŚlets follow your logicâŚ
If they are at South Korea shouldnt they charge us for Korean currency ???
Just donât bother. He clearly doesnât know how international companies work. He cited a single person selling on e-bay as a prime example of an international companyâŚ
My example was just something abstract (it doesnât matter whether itâs about you, e-bay or any other company⌠logic remains the same) but accurate unlike yours - if it cost you a very specific amount of money to make something and you have a very specific price tag on it, it doesnât make sense to make it cheaper for person B than for person A just because person B is poor.
And I thought I explained in details why your example isnât even applicable to ToS. Again, because lower prices in Indonesia are applied to a business owner as well (rent, salaries, ingredients, etc), not only to his customers.
Youâre the one who lacks common sense and basic knowledge here, yet trying to accuse me of that even after a proper explanation. Thatâs called being delusional.

IMC need to make a newer version of founder pack, but instead of the previous ones all they need to do are releasing a server bound pack while basing the price according to the region. For example:
Founder 1[Klaipeda] - NA region/Price
Founder 1[Fedimian] - EU region/Price
Founder 1[Telsial] - SEA region/Price
With this, instead of pricing using NA price they can have 3 prices that would fit the currency on the international players on their region. I know, I know. Some of you still wonât get a good deal but still, with this lots of other players will be able to afford it instead of the current NA price.
Furthermore, you will not be able to use âvpnâ and buy founder pack for cheap on SEA region and then transfer it to your Orsha account since the founder you bought will be region locked(Honestly this should had been inside the steam system already). And if youâre saying those players will be playing on SEA because it is cheap, then you are dumb since they will mostly get 500ms(considering all those exploiters are from first world country).
With this, problem solved. There might be some hiccups like certain 3rd world country get stuck with EU/NA price(collateral damage), or some people that are playing on klaipeda but are from SEA, you are on your own(collateral damage hehe). What I know is with this method at least 70% of international players will be able to buy the sales in few days, and that is clearly a better profit than what weâre having now with like none international players are willing to buy when the sales hit.

In the UK minimum wage for over 25 is ÂŁ7.20 which is about $10.36 an hour. The price did actually rise in the UK about 10%.

@renanforsaken2 , no one need to find an excuse for this, stop being so demanding over nothing
The difference doesnât effect me at all. I already bought the pack. I live in the city where Valve is based out of, and the standard of living is quite high here.
I do, however, think itâs unfair for IMC to do this to other countries, though I do understand their reasoning and respect their right to do so.
Steam regional pricing is great for just about every genre of games until you hit the MMOs. The problem with regional pricing is that people will shop around for the cheapest price, and when the game is supposed to put everybody on equal footing, you get problems such as what weâve seen announced.
IMCâs mistake in this was to include the world simply due to the fact that every world economy is different. When you try to unite the real world in a virtual world, this is exactly what you get. Shopping to save that buck.
Except you can literally get your Steam account banned for this. Itâs a blatant violation of the ToS.
Pls consider the fact:
IMC deceived players with their shameless lies.
What anything you said has to do with it?
You are all defending a company that saidâŚ
âSteam will handle the pricesâ
That lured a lot of non Europe/US players to buy the DLCâs because they tought they would be able to continue buing TP( wich makes the games a lot easier) after the game was F2PâŚ
And now they change the prices making almost unfordable for most playersâŚ
You cant undestand how cheated every one feels??
The only thing i can agree with is OPâs title âNo excusesâ
No Excuses, let everyone pay the same price.
Now to patiently wait for an excuse in attempt to defend him/herself why he deserves lower price than anyone else.
Its not a lower price when you have to work more to pay for itâŚ

That doesnât stop someone from taking the risk. There are terms of service, but a criminal does not care about this.
If you think that way no law or rule stops you from doing anythingâŚ
