Regional pricing is the only reason I can afford to play

In Brazil, a full price game at the US price would be a big part of a month's minimum wage. Regional pricing on Steam and PlayStation is what makes it possible for a lot of people here to buy games instead of pirating.

Every time a publisher removes regional pricing or sets it in dollars, you see the reaction here. And I'm not convinced the companies even earn more, because people just don't buy. I'd like to see someone argue the other side, because I really don't understand the logic.
