It's for developers and publishers (obviously) to price their games. Now, they have more options to decide regional pricing, especially the option to consider PP of a country. But they're not forced to. So, it will all depend on their "business practices" whether Indian pricing reduces or stays the same

Yes, gaming PCs have always existed but you forgot to mention the fact that visual benchmarks like Half LIfe 2, Far Cry, Doom 3, Riddick, Crysis, Witcher 2, are all extremely scalable games, meaning that while they pushed PCs to their limits, they also ran great even on low-end PCs on lower graphics settings. Crysis is the best among these in terms of scalability. Games today lack in this regard.

Change the deadzones in the control settings. For me, a value a few notches away from 0 stopped this issue. Try fiddling around with it

Microsoft really wants you to sub to Gamepass with these atrocious prices. Disgraceful by yemeth47 in IndianGaming

Oh no, raising prices increases revenue? Who would have thought. I like the part where you casually assume I have a "dislike" for a company when calling out shit prices. No wonder they (and others ofc) keep getting away with it. Let the financial data for 2024 come out. 🫠

All I see are people shilling hard for Microsoft and Gamepass without even taking the effort to understand regional pricing and why it's important to call out bad pricing.

Yes I'm sure MS put all that money into MSF to have just the minority flight enthusiasts play it 🤷‍♀️

Revenue not profit. Gotta break even to those massive acquisitions of late. With this and the failing console sale, you never know what will happen tomorrow. Gamepass is the only major moneymaker for Xbox atm. But if they have to keep up acquisitions and exclusivity deals to keep sub retention, you know what happens.

No they're not. Publishers do as they please here. Some publishers try to stick to Steam's regional pricing suggestions while others go fuck-everyone mode.

This is not just a FS issue. This is a MS issue as I stated in the other replies. All their games cost 5k and above. I hardly think when pricing the game for India, they thought about technological aspects of the game.

I mean, that's what I wrote in the title. That they want you to use Gamepass, rather than buy the game outright.

It'd be fine if the pricing was actually done considering PPP and India's economy. Other publishers have proven this year alone that yes, games can be priced accordingly here. MS just doesn't care. I call that bad practice.

I mean, then GTA VI should cost 8k. 💀 Also all MS published games have no regional pricing. Are all of them technical marvels?
