I guess the concern with video game prices here are less about taxes (although they are fairly high still) and more about how low are our wages
Games are mostly produced with north american, european and japanese workforce, their budgets are measured using the economy of their original countries, as such the prices are a reflection on their own markets purchasing power
I'm essentially paying for a wage of a worker who makes 5 to 6 times than me. The price of a game for an american (60 USD) is the price of maybe having lunch 2 or 3 times. 60 USD for a Brazilian worker can be easily enough budget for breakfast for 1 month, indeed I can feed myself of all food I need for 1 month with 110-120 USD (as long I cook at home)
