Price increase in Mexico, you doubled the price

Why can't you just buy from the pathofexile website??
Why people desperately want it on steam?

Just a guess, but many people have money saved up over time in their steam wallets.

GGG removed regional pricing for POE on steam without saying a thing. They effectively doubled the prices for most countries.


it did not double just now cost the same as everywhere else. It is still $30 as it was it was just half the price for some countries.

It doubled to cost the same as countries with 5-10x the minimum wage. Do you think $30 feels the same to someone that makes $300 than it does for someone that makes $5000?

They have regional pricing for some countries here on their website, while it being prohibitive for most on steam. That makes the least sense. That and GGG being as quiet as can be over this.

Sadly I understand. I live in a country where the minimum wage is under 800 euro. It is what it is but people need to understand that regional pricing can be abused so it is understandable that they removed it. In my country it has always been $30 and there is nothing I can do about it.

There's a reason regional pricing is on by default and most developers use it - it is not easy to bypass. There are big time restraints for changing your region, using a VPN is bannable, and you need a payment method from within that country. It's not widely abused like people are saying.

Only a few countries have regional pricing on the POE website.

It actually is. Keys bought with regional pricing are being resold on sites like g2a. You can even get whole steam accounts that way with desired game. It has been bypassed long time ago.

you can just sell the account, not the key, and it will get banned if its used in other country or make purchases in other country, vpn is not enough
VPN hopping has been fixed a forever ago. You can display regional prices via VPN, but at the checkout it reverts to your own price again, because you are paying under credentials not tied to that region.
