The previous games all the way from AoE 3 2007 version to the latest AoE2 DE Lords of the west have had realistic price conversion for developing countries such as Latin America, Russia, Turkey and others. But now AoE4 seems to be absurdly overpriced in those regions. I understand if you want to sell the game as an AAA game but make the regional pricing at least close to what Valve suggest…
As can be seen from the image, the pricing for Argentina is 3.6 times what is suggest by valve. The minimum wage in Argentine is 8060 pesos which would mean the price of the game is 37% of the country’s minimum wage… Similar things can be seen in other Latin American countries as well as Turkey and Russia. Those countries have a big and loyal player base and the pricing is a stab in the back for those people that have played games from the franchise for decades. Please fix the regional pricing of these countries or you will have issues with player numbers in the game as most of those people won’t be paying for these absurd price tags.
