Not fair to have the same pricing across the world

A 100$ worth of purchase is equated to 6700 rps of purchase in Indian rupees. Which is almost a month salary for many people here in India. How is that fair ?????

Yeah and in some countries like the uk for example, they are paying the equivalent of $130 for what the USA get for $100. That is the OP's point
That's out of their control. It depends on the Exchange Rates and Taxes of each Country.
They're the same for Kabam. It's unilateral, in U.S. Dollars. It's the platforms that raise them.
I agree. But still to shell out an entire months salary for just units and signatures doesn't feel good. And it's unfair on people residing in low economy zones. 100$ values more in many parts of the world and it takes much to earn it
Now we have to pay 10 euros more.
The dollar is even weaker than the euro. So it makes no sense at all. Except oh yeah...is kabam...
That's not the OP's point. The OP's point has nothing to do with exchange rates or iOS conversions or VAT. The OP is saying that average salary and cost of living is different in different places, and how subjectively high a one hundred US dollar purchase is depends greatly on where you are. In a place like Australia where a Toyota Corolla can cost $70,000, a $100 in-game purchase is a lot different on a relative basis than in say India where the average per capita earnings is about $1500.
I don't think there is any good solution to that problem, but that's the problem the OP is highlighting.
I wonder what would you do if you had to spend 450 EUR on odins chest and 23EUR for 125 units.
Toyota corollas do not cost $70k here. $30 for a top line fully optioned one
I must be misremembering a conversation I had with someone that lived in Australia poorly. Although I do remember that period of time when people from Australia were flying to California to buy software.
I see, well I guess I was making a better point then
Newsflash, Life isn't fair
its not fairness, its just the opposite.
The truth is, the prices are not there for regular gamers to enjoy the game like normal well-adjusted people might. They are priced for the whales who are either some combination of so rich + so socially inept that they've got nothing else to spend their money on, partially braindead, or they have some kind of serious mental health issue like gambling addiction or borderline personality disorder and they really ought to be getting help for that instead of being exploited by some mobile gaming company.
For everyone else, just accept that the game is actually free to play. That there is some content that is way too hard for you to ever finish if you're not willing to spend 80 hours a week grinding arena. And that, because of these overpriced things in the unit store that the saps described above pay for... that keeps the game free for everyone else. It's kind of a weird, probably not ideal from a gameplay standpoint, deeply unethical business model... but it works for Kabam and many other companies so.... yeah... enjoy the free game and accept you can't buy stuff, or switch to console gaming or Angry Birds.
If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it. Pretty simple.
Enjoy it as it is.
