      GoG does have regional pricing in some countries. It’s very limited but saying they don’t have it at all is false.

            It’s the other way around.

            People from poor countries were not buying games because the prices were expensive compared to their income. For that regional pricing was introduced to combat piracy. Some revenue is better than no revenue.

              The underlying scam is the concept of a “cost of living” that’s somehow different in different places, and a minimum wage that can be different for two people who nonetheless might be expected to buy the same thing.

              Anything that touches this concept and tries to accommodate instead of destroy it is going to inherit its foolishness.
