First off, apologies that Steam's Regional Pricing hits Brazil's economic situation unfairly. But consider:

Brazil isn’t the only country with that crap combo of abrasive inflation, low average/minimum income, and weak purchasing power. If Wube (or any developer) gives Brazil a special price ...

This is a classic false equivalence. If you steal a Tesla, the company loses a physical car and the materials used to build it. Digital copies have zero marginal cost. Regional pricing isn't charity; it's a proven business strategy used by Steam and other companies to convert pirates into ...

I agree with my friend's post; here in Brazil, compared to other countries, the game is inaccessible to us because of the current price. To make it more accessible and to further grow the Brazilian community, it would be great if they reviewed the regional price in Brazil.


I want to go to São ...

I haven't bought a Tesla for similar reasons. It's too expensive, not reasonably priced for my income, so I'm simply forced to steal one. :roll:

If you can't afford 101R$ for the game, how did you ever afford a computer to play the game on?

Congratulations on the excellent argument! I'm sure it's not a Brazilian.

Small correction: 101 are 6% of minimum income wage since this month, it seems.

This is the regional pricing of steam, wube can't change that AFAIK. You need to contact steam, only they can adjust regional pricing, probably for ALL their games at once!

It is not necessary to spam your message ...

I agree with my friend, this could help reduce piracy and attract more people to buy the game, making it more accessible in Brazil and strengthening the community. Many of my friends download pirated versions of the game because of the price. I invite them to play, and they say the price is too high ...

I was discussing Factorio pricing with some friends and I fully understand the developers’ position regarding discounts. This post is not about asking for sales or price reductions.

I would like to share a purchasing power comparison, specifically regarding regional pricing in Brazil. Even with ...
