The issue of the sub price in Ukraine

[Velvet_Lunarfang]

I hate how people come on here complaining it's too expensive. Go cry a river somewhere else. Stop garnering sympathy so you can try and get something cheaper or get a free hand out. Welcome ladies and gents to the real world. The world sucks and we all live in it. That's the reality of it and will never change. Video games is and has always been a luxury item. If you can't afford then you can't and you need to realize that there are much more important things you need to pay for then this or any other game. Also stop using FFXIV as your personal soap box about the woes of the world no one cares. Ukraine is not my problem nor most of the worlds issue. I mean the Ukraine has gotten so much money from the US and for what LMFAO

There is still quite the difference between the average income in the US and the average income in Colombia (about $300/ month).

Regional pricing is not a new concept when it comes to video games. Russia and surrounding countries used to have access to regional pricing for several games. Things have changed recently because of sanctions. I think Brasil did for FFXIV at some point but I am not sure if it is still the case. Many other parts of the world never have access to such pricing.

Most of my Spanish speaking South American friends used to be “Russians” in SWTOR otherwise they weren’t able to afford a subscription. They couldn’t do it with FFXIV and the US pricing is simply prohibitive for the average family there.

I'm Scandinavian so the wage difference between the US and Colombia don't say me much. I know it's hard for many people in Europe right now, which was my point.

Probably could have left this part out. It's not a good look to be an asshole.

The average salary in the US is about 4k, slightly higher than Scandinavian countries but all of them are >10x the average Colombian income and gaming remains for the privileged there. Upper middle class can only afford it with regional pricing. They slso deal with inflation.

Maybe but I am not the only one who feels that way and the resentment has been growing. People are getting fed up

Can you please be our next prime minister?

[SonjaRampage]

Honestly ya'll shouldn't even be worrying about gaming rn these ukraine sub price threads are ridiculous.

[Restonance]

If you can afford a subscription and find the time to play in the middle of the war, you're probably doing better than you're letting on.

"Zepla said they should so they should"

TLDR of the 2 threads about this

[JamieRose]

I don't follow Zepla but even with my limited exposure of her videos, I don't think it's fair to call her a boob streamer.

When her content becomes far less vapid and elitist, I'll reconsider my position.

[Kranel_San]

On the topic of streamers, while I don't watch any. Is it me or ffxiv in general is barely getting any new popular streamer and is keeping the known band throughout the years despite its rising popularity?
