Ruble, Hyrvnia and the Rupee are back on top for having cheapest games
Valve's regional pricing is now even more nonsensical than before and encourages piracy
It puts the lie to the idea that capitalism seeks the lowest prices - this whole system wouldn't exist if not for the fact that Valve and game devs are actually seeking out the highest price each market will bear.
Regions are literally the opposite of "Free" markets, and is proof that economists are the mouthpieces of capitalists.
It's because capitalism seeks the highest profits.

Rupee prices went up too recently but in most cases it's cheaper than the American prices.
