- The economy does not work that simply, you cannot transfer currency in a calculator, and say that they are very close to some other currency of a small country, a trivial example (In the first place, you earn 2000 euros, we translate into Belarusian rubles, it turns out 6000 rubles, and that's it , you are an oligarch, but no matter how great it looks, it doesn’t work that way. Therefore, for different countries, they make different prices.
2.cyberpunk 2077, price, $ 30 (game from big developers, the game that everyone is waiting for, potentially great)
Destiny 2 deluxe edition, price, $ 20, (one of the best mmo projects, high online, a lot of goodies for deluxe edition)
baldurs gate 3, price, $ 30 (also early access, expected return)
etc.
Well, now fractured, ~ $ 30 for unnecessary junk (nothing unique, except for such a useful title, which rather suggests that you are a sucker who bought the cheapest access) and a game that you will not play right away, ~ $ 60 for at least something interesting, and for access to the game (wow, that's generous!) which is also unfinished, well, yes, they don't milk in any way, it's probably difficult to support a team of a couple of people, and even two freelancers, yes, that's for sure so expensive that even 110,000 euros were not enough, they probably also invited some famous actors to voice acting. Against the background of more delicious projects, for the same or even less price, fractured looks magically not attractive. (as a game, it is different, and if there are price adjustments for different regions, I will tear it off with my hands for 15-20 bucks)
3.Oh yes, they care about the players, yes ... and they probably cannot make regional prices because of some kind of curse, Russia, Ukraine, the Baltic states, Belarus, etc. for these regions, the price of 25 euros just for the game and a couple of unnecessary buns, it's so-so. And the fact that they are an indie studio does not give them an excuse. (I note that in these countries, MMORPG is one of the most beloved genres, and I know a bunch of people who spend huge sums on them, so it looks strange that they did not even make banal regional prices, which would increase purchases from these regions)
4.I am not poor, not poor at all. Although I am a student, my monthly salary (I do not work, the university just gives me money every month) and this would be enough for the master package, but you know, I can spend that kind of money, for sure I will buy an adept pack when the beta test , maybe I will even update it to the master (so that at least I would have a normal title), but now it's useless to pay for the adept. And about the fact that it is not profitable to enter our region, this is not true, as a resident of this region, I can say that many MMORPGs are trying to enter this market, so far I have not seen a single popular MMORPG that has not adapted at least in some way way for the CIS, they may not make a Russian translation, but adjust prices for the CIS, because as I said, the MMORPG genre is very popular in our country, and people spend a lot of money on it, it happened historically because of L2 and Warcraft.
P.S. - If you read to here, then I thank you for your attention, you know, initially I was a little annoyed, but you know, after reading your comment, I realized that you are not a bad guy at all, you do not insult me, you are trying to explain to me exactly what and how , and I am grateful to you for that, seriously, I was even pleased to write this comment
But the problem is that you (western, central Europe) do not understand us, for obvious reasons, they either say on TV how poor we are, how we are not democratic (everything will be corrected soon), and they just say little about us. In general, thanks for the comment, I hope you understand me, and my problems
