Does Gray market sites like G2A.com affect you as a developer?

Did you actually read and take in that post you’ve quoted? I said “the price of goods should really reflect the cost of developing / manufacturing them, regardless of the region.” - The point is, you really can’t sell it for $5 to one set of people, but $130 to another set of people, and complain that people are using grey markets to obtain the cheaper keys; it’s retarded, since you created that problem yourself. More uniform pricing across regions would eliminate that entirely.

But more uniform pricing across regions only work if you have more uniform income across all regions. When the difference of income between countries is so incredibly high you can’t make a more uniform pricing scheme that actually works.
I do agree that INCREASING the base price in countries like australia is very asinine but it’s a delicate situation and it’s not something that’s easy to fix.
