I’m in a small Caribbean island, the steam price has always been the same price as the US price, which is very expensive compared to the average salary on the island.
So basically no regional pricing for us in the Caribbean.
On the other hand the epic store does have regional pricing for us more in line with the average salary which make the games 50% cheaper than steam.
Here is the steam price for Rimworld
Here is the Epic Game price for Rimworld
I checked other games and it’s similar.
Edit: I wish I was wrong because I’m only playing in Linux so I would really prefer buying games from Steam but now I’m seriously considering buying the games from the Epic Store, it sucks.
