The price isn't jacked up because it's adjusted to your cost of living and income. They can afford to charge a lower price in a place like Mexico because of instead of one person being able to afford your game, now you could have five or six people being able to afford it.

How is that not jacked up? If they can charge a lower price and still make a profit on it and even sell at that price in some places, then selling at a higher price elsewhere is absolutely jacking the price up.

As for the number of people being able to afford it, that applies in literally every single country. Even in the wealthiest countries more people would be able to afford things if they were priced lower.

How is it? GTA V is $60 on the Steam Store in the US and $44 in the Mexican store. Incomes in the US are five times more on average than in Mexico, the impact your purchase will have on your average American will be much less than your average Mexican. I already gave you an example on why they can afford it because otherwise if it were too expensive than people would not be able to afford it and the company would get no money.

Do you really not understand how this works?
