You argue publisher sell games in poorer countries only if customers in richer countries pay a higher price.
This is completely wrong. Companies sell their products in poorer countries because they can make additional revenue there. Besides you completely ignore that there are rich people in poorer countries and poor people in richer countries. Why not take your argument to a next level and make prices dependent on the income of someone? Poor people then don't have to pay for owning Gothic while rich people have to pay 1 million bucks?
In addition I don't earn money so game publishers can subsidize customers in other countries from my money. I simply don't let them because I simply don't buy. And I would certainly never buy the Gothics on steam. .
fridtwolfe: i guess i understand, you guys may think this is just to take more money from rich countries but, to be honest, it also means poor countries will have the opportunity to buy at a price they can afford. So i guess it's ok. If you guys want to purchase the thing you can also do it on steam, i think the games are still there.
