How can they get away with this? Pic related is literally 1/3 of Brazil's MONTHLY minimum wage. Even if you convert $60 to R$ by using the commercial rate, you still won't get fucking R$250.
What happened? Repeating: 1/3 OF A MONTHLY MINIMUM WAGE

Come on, Brazilians would stay at Brazilian servers. The only thing Blizzard is accomplishing with this is making the rich as fuck Brazilians be forced to deal with long queue times. This is ridiculous imo.
The normal AAA release price for Brazil is R$100 which is like $25 right now (used to be $50 when dollar wasn't fucked up).$250 is insane.

Look, anon:
Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls is 20 euros, right? Well, I'd pay R$70 for it. 1 euro = R$4. So I am actually paying R$10 less for it.
With Overwatch it's the OPPOSITE. I am paying MORE for it. Why did Blizzard suddenly change the way they treat Brazilian customers? They always used to give us stuff for a good price (I used to pay R$15 for a WoW subscription which is like $4 today), what happened? That's what I am not understanding.

when valve did the medic update in tf2 nobody asked "are you going to charge us money for these alternate weapons in the future"
and i would highly doubt even valve knew.
This is an example of a very clear message blizzard is saying. They learned in ways other developers have not. They said too much about Warlords of Draenor. They didn't even promise anything, they just said what they were working on, and because they were unable to meet the impossibly high demand that the fans themselves fucking created out of thin fucking air.
Blizzard knows the fanbase, they've read the reddit and the forums, they know the absolute shitbags everyone is and would rather let them choke on their own bile than give them fuel.
They're literally going "fuck you, we aint saying shit."
And besides, if i were to buy 21 characters in lol, dirty bomb, warframe, planetside, etc, it would be way more than 40 bucks fuck off.

It's actually only 7.5% of my current wage, but I'm not going to give blizzard any fucking cent ever again, I just bought the The Eternal Crusade warrior pack 40USD instead, and the alpha already looks more interesting than this tf2 clone can ever hope to be, getting access for the alpha this month as well, and in here you don't even get beta access.

OP has a legit concern imo.
Every half informed person knows that the biggest players of online games comes from third world countries.
China, Russia, Brazil are countries that love their online games that's why they plague it. The reason can be debatable, since it can range simple from personal taste or those games are cheaper.
If Blizzard isn't selling their game at an affordable price there, the game is faded to be a failure.
Just my two cents btw.

Except it has nothing to do with luck, it has to do with their ancestors and grandparents and parents slaving for hundreds of years and fighting a dozen wars to create that country and that economy and that quality of living, and then you turning up uninvited acting like you deserve a cut just for existing.
They didn't "get lucky" their ancestors worked to provide for them, yours didn't.

Abuse BRs. Abuse Yuropoors. Abuse Burgers.

>actually trying to imply the US is not a nation of immigrants and that the majority, even the white ones, are of English descent and part of the colonists who fought in the revolutionary war
My family is originally from Germany and lived in Canada until the 60's, we didn't fight for shit, but you wouldn't tell me to get the fuck out because I am white.

Pretty substantial portion of the US population is of German origin. People extrapolate too much about the US population from it being former British colonies.
>>315795105
Yeah I bet, I don't care if you're white, I care that you think you deserve the product of other people's work.
Your racial insecurity has nothing to do with your shitty entitled attitude.

The point remains that my family and ancestors did not fight for shit for America, we were fucking Germans in Canada until the 60's, then we jumped in here. So the whole "their ancestors fought for it" thing is pretty false in most cases. I doubt even 5% of the current US population

What am I erntitled to? I am entitled to citizenry because that is how your law works, I was born here, I am a citizen, my ancestors did not fight for shit since they were in Canada for 500 years and Germany prior

>I doubt even 5% of the current US population
Don't know why it cut me off. I meant to say I doubt even 5% of the US population can trace their roots back to colonists who fought in the revolutionary war

>how your law works
I don't live in America.
If you're a legal immigrant then there's no problem, anybody can be a legal immigrant, doesn't have anything to do with race or ancestry only legal status.
If you follow the rules and obey the law then nobody has any right to tell you to leave.
Meanwhile there are people whose first act is to break the law of the country because they feel entitled to the product of it's ancestor's labor.
>why should these people have nice things they were just lucky to be born there I deserve those things too so I'm going to break the law in order to get them
They think this without making the connection between that attitude and why the place they're trying to leave is so shitty.
