Yep. Anyone decrying regional pricing as "publishers protecting their interests" and "they don't need games because they are luxury products" has never seen or experienced what it is for a good to be priced like this, for entertainment to be out of reach like some luxury product while people look down their nose at you.
Argentina, among many, many others, is a place that has fallen on hard times and I'm glad to see the gaming media finally pick up on the regional pricing obscenity and how DRM is instrumental in completely denying people in those countries any recourse for entertainment and art.
