Lmao, that game costs around 25% of Brazil's minimum monthly wage (R$1412), and a little over 10% of the average monthly wage (R$2924, according to a quick google search). And that doesn't take into account how expensive a gaming PC or console would be. An RTX 3060 costs around R$2000. I'm still rocking a GTX 1080, stretching it to its limits.
I've only bought two games over the past five years: Elden Ring and RDR2. I paid R$250 and R$200 for them, respectively. Everything else I either buy when I see a crazy discount, or I just pirate it.
It's hard to understate how fucking expensive everything is in Brazil, for someone who lives here and earns the local currency.
I mostly buy games by selling crates that I get in counter strike. It's just not worth it otherwise
