Please consider regional pricing for Brazil#532

N

Your tiers are $9, $19 and $25 a month. The Brazilian minimum wage is R$1,621 a month, about R$7.37 an hour. With the dollar around R$5.08, that means roughly 6 hours of work for the entry tier and 17 hours, more than two full workdays, for full access with expansions. A year of that costs 94 percent of an entire monthly salary. In the US, the same $25 is three and a half hours of minimum wage work.

This is not just fairness, it is revenue. IndieBI showed at Digital Dragons 2026 that USD purchases are only 20 to 60 percent of Steam revenue for most titles, and that studios who fixed their local pricing saw sales in those regions grow sharply. Valve rebuilt its recommended price tables around purchasing power parity for the same reason.

Players priced out at $25 are not delayed sales, they are zero. Charging around R$20 for entry and R$50 for full access in local currency would put you in the same bracket as a streaming service here, and everything it converts is revenue you are not getting today.
The same applies to Argentina, Turkey, India and Mexico.
