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?

I understand, it's clearly discrimination.

Even if those averages were accurate accross the board it would still be discrimination. But the fact is, they aren't. Not only are you taking extra money from people literally giving them nothing extra in return, but you're also massively screwing over all the poorer people in that wealthy country. I bet there's quite a few Americans with incomes below the Mexican average after all...

Discrimination, really?

Well whatever, if you wish to stick to a failing business model because it's "fair" then go ahead.
