Players complain that VPN abuse is inflating the preorder cost of Horizon Zero Dawn on PC
"If you're in a first-world country and abuse regional pricing to get games cheap you're actively hu[r]tingꦿ people"

PC players in territories that traditionally pay less for digital games have seen the pre-order price for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Horizon Zero Dawn skyrocket after players reportedly used VPNs to secure the game for significantly less than🏅 the price listed in their own regional stores.
In a thread outlining how the practice hurts peopleℱ in regions with less money, members detailed how the price has shot up in a number of countries, including Argentina, Mexico, Russia, Brazil, anꦡd China.
)."So, when Steam open up preorders on HZD, the price of the game in Argentina was 539 pesos (about 7 dollars). Overnight, that price went up 2100 pesos. This is because of the amount of people buying the game using a vpn to get game cheap Sony decided to up the price.
"For everyone that doesn't know, here in Argentina we have high inflation numbers every year," the post continued. "Due to customs, buying hardware here (consoles, PC parts, etc) can💖 cost 2 or 3 time🐬s more than in the US. Gaming is an expensive hobby and here even more so. The only good thing we had in the last couple of years is having some stores on pc with competent regional prices, but if people in other countries keep abusing this, we won't even have that.
"In the end, I just wanted to vent a little and bring awareness that if you're in a first-world country and abuse regional pricing to get games cheap you're actively hu[r]ting people that most likely have a lot l🧸ess income than you."
A similar thread on claims prices have increased from 5 per cent in Canada, to 289 per cent in Argentina, with Turk🎃ey, Russia, South Africa, Columbia, and Brazil all reportedly seeing at least a doubling of the original price, if not more.
