    Forcing global prices will mean that the revenue maximizing price for the first world will do down.

    Publishers will not just ignore the global markets. They will just be forced to sell their games for actual value instead of “how much you can pay”

      No, it won’t. There’s no point on the curve where low income regions have any possibility whatsoever of enough volume to affect it in any way. It’s not a matter of “affording” anything, because adjusting to satisfy those regions is lower revenue than ignoring them.

      It won’t have a negligible impact on pricing. It will be literally zero.
