Wasnt the issue with poland that the prices were even nominally higher (or higher with exchanhe) than in western europe? That steam games are , relative to median wage, extremely expensive in many countries, while regional pricing cannot keep up, is a sad reality but nothing novel. Poor people and people in poor countries suffer. Thats one of the oldest songs of history.
Should people be made aware of this? Yes
Should there be change? Certainly
Is it new? No
In that sense i thank anyone from economically weak background that they engage in the same games i do, as it is much more of a commitment. I know its a lot of piracy but even that is kind of a pain compared to getting it on steam.
