$70 in MENA region is actually insane

I genuinely don’t understand how publishers expect people in regions like North Africa to afford $70 games.

I’m 19, I worked my ass off just to save up a little money to finally treat myself to a game I’ve been hyped about for months… only to open the store and see it costs a full $70. In my region. Seriously?

That’s literally close to HALF of what some people make in a month here. How is that considered normal pricing? Regional pricing is supposed to make games more accessible, not just copy-paste US prices and call it a day.

I just want fair pricing that actually reflects the local economy. It’s frustrating watching everyone else enjoy a release while you’re stuck deciding if it’s worth sacrificing your entire savings for one game.
