Should Ukrainians get a free/lowered Sub?

[Ranaku]

Ofc not and I wonder why you don't ask lowered subs for Syria, Irak, Pakistan, entire SA and so on.

Almost forgot Libya.

That is wonderful whataboutism, yes if they have actually players their sub fee should be accordingly to the strength of their currency maybe. It's not like that isn't a thing already, russian players for example pay already 3-4 times less than the western players. European players pay like 2-3 dollars less than NA players.

So where again is the problem with regional pricing, when it already exists? I mean for all it is worth i personally don't ask that SE just gives them completely free gametime, that was just an option and i wanted to hear what the people here think about it. I just simply think you shouldn't have to pay a week of full time work just for the sub fee and yes no matter where you live.

There is no such thing as "NA" players when it comes to currency. There is no regional pricing for Canadian players who are charged in US pricing, and are penalized by exchange rates, so it isn't unusual for the sub to cost 20% more. (i won't even get into some of the crazy shipping costs I've seen applied for Canadians that don't apply to Americans).

This, as a Canadian, is why I rarely buy from the SE store. The music Blu-ray may cost $40USD, but shipping is another $30-40USD, and then there is the customs fees that need to be paid of $25CDN. Their store is a major ripoff if you are outside of the US.

It's not much better in Europe unless you live in France (IIRC that's where the EU SE Store is located)

So you would not? Just wanted to make sure this was politics in guise of being fair.

Whataboutism only works in one direction I've noticed. It's always me and not the other side of the argument who can use it xD
