  • Speaking as a South Asian and former school teacher (a middle-class person here, so to speak), our average salary goes anywhere from ~100$ to ~250$ a month. I could afford about 10=20$ worth of games every year, inflation dependant.

    Note that this is in a culture where Piracy is the norm and actually buying games is practically unthinkable. If it weren’t for Steam sales, wanting to support indie devs and not wanting to deal with bugs/cracks and updates for once, I wouldn’t have ever ‘bought’ a game at all.

    TLDR: Many South Asians cannot afford, much less think, of buying games. The lower prices mean some sales, instead of none.
