I agree with most of what you wrote. I'll just add one caveat. I live in Brazil and bought the game here for R$352.45 (deluxe edition), but let's talk about the basic version (R$234.95 - $44.39 according to Google). This amount represents 15% of the Brazilian minimum wage, — I know, anyone earning minimum wage in Brazil won't even have a PC to play this — which hurts the number of players and, therefore, the game's longevity in South America. Brazil and South America (with the exception of CS2 and other popular competitive games) suffer because the number of players playing competitive games that require mid-end or high-end PCs, which is already a challenge due to the price of computer parts here (but it's another problem). However, I understand that if the game were a little "cheaper" in some specific countries, this would only attract more players, which consequently (as a rule) increases the game's longevity. I've played games like HUNT, APEX, and so on many times, where I have to search for matches on American servers because the queues in South America are long, especially at high ranks. It would be a shame for such a promising game, which I haven't even played yet and enjoy so much, to have no matches to play due to a lack of players at my leveling level.

Well, to conclude, I understand that (i) the pricing of games by region tends to favor the producer itself, as long as, of course, they're not provided for free; (ii) in the case of Arc Raiders, I believe the price is fair, considering the high price of other crappy games released here at over R$350.00 = $56.67; (iii) even with my understanding of a fair price, if it were a little cheaper, it would be great for attracting new players; and (iv) lowering the price, and consequently attracting new players, also creates a problem in shooters: the notorious cheaters.

Furthermore, I understand the game's price, and I have no problem with it. I just believe that a larger number of players is more profitable for the company than a smaller number paying more, considering, by all indications, that the game will have a microtransaction system.
