Epic Vs Steam and Regional Pricing

I think you’re unintentionally mixing up a few things. I paraphrased or quoted M00’s earlier post, but at no point did i say the companies can afford to lose money - because that would be unreasonable of me. That’s not the point of a business - even a small one.

Okay, maybe I was misunderstanding. If I was, what did you mean here then?

Like M00, I simply don’t’ buy that “they can’t afford to keep up regional pricing”.

What is the intent of “I simply don’t’ buy that “they can’t afford to keep up regional pricing”.”? Is it not to say that they can’t afford to keep up the costs of regional pricing and alternative payment method’s transaction fees/charges to offer the customer these benefits? Isn’t that the same thing as saying they can afford to lose money to offer these benefits?

Saying that they can afford “to gain less” is just the same as saying they can afford to lose some somewhere else. You’re just using a different word for to express the same thing.

That is it in a nutshell. Even when Regional Pricing is feasible, reasonable and not difficult to implement, like Geeky said, companies just… don’t.

We can agree on this. If somehow a gaming store front can figure it out, and sustain it, and publishers choose to do it, it would be great.
