You do understand that we are not asking you to pay full usd here.
As for the tour , you want to pay for it using your money tree?
IMC initially decided to host from the US, hence US pricing. Pricing equally is close to economic suicide for the business. If you want SEA pricing, go play in a SEA server or if IMC decides to host in SEA, enjoy your ping.
You can protest the pricing however you like. If you really want to protest hard, donât buy the product, and let IMC adjust. Just keep in mind that if many still buy, itâs an indicator that IMC is doing a good job.
I am from israel i can have as good ping in sea as i will in eu or na . not the point here . no one asking you to pay more so why are you so aggressive?
For now i am not paying then.
By the way where are you from.
So, let me see if I get it⌠people are complaining about the pricing in complete different regions of the globe where, mind you, they live in completely different social and economic realities and, futhermore, the servers in no way interact with one another (you wonât see SA products selling in the NA market)âŚ
Wanna now what I think? People just want to pay less and are trying to use this difference in REGIONAL prices as a stupid reason to claim that their complaint is legitimate.
Please, go study a little bit of economics and come back here in a few years, no, better yet, just go way and donât come back⌠ever.
PS: Want to pay less? Go play in another server, you will have so much fun⌠by yourself.

Not a dumbass like you 
Canada. We pay more and get less. Better to be agressive in this thread because people are complaining about regional pricing which properly follows Steamâs procedures. The fact that IMC gave freedom to play whatever server, Iâm glad that they posted all the prices because I play with people around the world and they can make a conscious decision if the server will work out.
Steam dont say how much you can take.freedom ? the âDLCâ have no freedom in them what so ever.
go take a business lessons/seminar and you will understand why what IMC doing here is counterproductive and lose more paying customers that it give.
We could have that if all workers in the world received equal payment for equal job, for example ToS NA/EU staff should have the same salary as ToS SEA/SA staff 
first of all its the people problem.go protest in the streets if yuo want to have more for your job.
why you think ToS NA/EU staff have more that ToS SEA/SA staff?
Such a person fron a rich country. 
Doubt you ever see workers massacre by military when protest.
Itâs almost normal here. Civilian life is trash that government can throw away. Your government atleast protect your head, not cut them!
Satisfy with something you have!
Do you ever want to move to Syria or Palestine?
Alright Mr. I know economics, if $10 USD for a token (in the future) isnât fair pricing because it is $5 elsewhere in the world, are you suggesting it should be $5 USD?
If so, I suggest you visit something like xe.com so that you understand how hard it is to make that same dollar value in their currency when googling the minimum salary in those respective countries. This isnât IMCâs fault when all they have applied is regional pricing with Steam.
The arguments here are only because of transparent pricing. If you want that pricing, go play on that server. Donât complain about how your ping is bad or population is terrible, simply because itâs the same thing, different look.
a company never need to charge different demographics differently based on race or geographical location.
if for some reason they do then at last make so this different demographics will never know of this.
failing to do this 2 things will lose imc money and players. its not like imc is having the good name of blizzard .
weird isnt it? selling virtual item imc have to watch worldwide minimum wage? HAHAHAHAHA thats soooooooo weird. i dont think âother HUGEâ publisher doing that such thing.
ppl play at which server its they own decision, not all NA player are 100% NA player. but they have to pay NA price which is DOUBLE than SEA.
so weird.
shouldnt listen to all provoke, seem some ppl want to see IMC down or make tos player go away. =D . business rival probably. or whatever.
anywayâŚim disagree with that DOUBLE price for NA.
sooooooo weird. i believe alot ppl disagree too, if they buyer.
May i add something here?
Actually this is the normal strategy for difference market.
Imagine that stream want to maximum its income and each region have thier own level of purchasing power.
To capture most PRICE*QUANTY stream have to set difference price for each market. For example, im on SEA i can just afford 10 USD and youre on EU you afford 30 USD. If stream were to set single price, the maximum income theyâll get be 30 USD. But if stream set 10 USD for SEA and 30 for EU, theyll get sums of 40 USD.
This is basic economic if you want more details please do goog âmarket seggegrationâ âgoods elasticityâ
Most of the people answer this thread like âliving standardâ it is just half correct. Stream dont have compensation for take good care of living standard, it is just their INCOME
o.O i hope worldwide company think that way too eh.
the fact is BMW not less price at any SEA Country.
(why BMW? ikr, whatever)
my point isâŚ
if u cant afford BMW, get cheaper carâŚHONDA maybe? 
if BMW cheaper at any SEA country, everyone gonna use that car.
vote for same price all server -_-
reduce price for NA and EU
like i said on that topic
you can always play in SEA if you want cheaper TP but expect high latency
your example is kinda bad. TP is a consumable stuff or not a permanent item while a car is more like a permanent item that needs maintenance every now and then.
good example would be a food from NA and SEA
a usual $20 food in NA is almost like $5~$10 here in SEA. if SEA price it the same as NA then youâll see starvation happening since $20 is quite expensive in SEA.
and your point would be valid if we can redeem SEA TP bundles in NA or EU but its not and can only be redeemed in SEA only which was part of my suggestion over and over since people started complaining that SEA players getting cheaper founders pack back in early access
like what @sapaji said
if the price is affordable more people will buy it and even if one or 2 of them stop buying it its not much of a loss since more people will replace them because it is affordable
if the price is not affordable like double the price then only dedicated players will buy them and if they quit its a huge loss.
here in SEA especially in the Philippines, people check if the game is really good and affordable before they put their money.
if its free to play they check it first but if its in early access only a handful will play it and others will wait till free to play release even if its only $5 but after checking and having fun they can put $150+ without knowing it.
