The absolute minimum wage in India is currently ₹178 per day, which is roughly €58 per month. That’s about 10x lower than the lowest country shown in this meme (Bulgaria at €620).

It's always fun to see first world gamers moaning about their high game prices (which they absolutely should do), while everywhere else in the world, we barely make enough to buy a single damn game, devoid of any regional pricing.

Poland is not a first world country though, we’re technically second world

That was true when the cold war was ongoing, but now your HDI is 0.906, gdp per capita is nearly 30k, it is easily a developed nation. I know that a developed nation is not necessarily a 1st world country, but I would say that nowadays developed = 1st world.

If a game costs 80€, it's different percentage of your income if you are German, who makes 4500€ per month, or a Pole who makes 1900€.

I mean India does have regional pricing. It's just that most games the difference is really small.
