Hey folks.
Today has been one hell of a [bad] day for regional pricing here, besides Ys IX price getting """"""""""""""""fixed"""""""""""""""".
Bethesda games got a price cut everywhere but Argentina (RAGE 2 and Wolfe Twins got a price cut in Arg too, to be fair). Most games from Beth that got a price cut elsewhere got more expensive in Arg, but at least for Arkane games, you can still get them for their old prices on GMG, their sale last until July 11th I think. Bamco also raised the prices of pretty much their entire catalog too. Some indies / AA, like X4 and Sherlock Holmes DD also got their prices increased.
However, here's one good thing. Seemingly, people aren't being able to gift money through accounts like they did until yesterday (one would use a Steam account set in their country to gift wallet money to your main account which you VPN'd to Argentina). The "Update Store & Wallet Country" page got updated too. As lasho has mentioned many times, this will never stop publishers from increasing their prices, but at least VPN abusers are getting fucked, so that's good.
Anyway, I'm late but thanks as always for the thread lashy, and a great weekend for all of you Meta people.
