Damn… this obviously means we have to lower our minimum wage to be able to complain

It’s not about the prices itself it’s about the currency exchange it’s just unfair it’s outdated by 4 years so the games should be much cheaper

Ig if there are bigger worries in the world we shouldn’t complain about our smaller problems. You are so right.

Steam DB shows there are only 6 currencies more expensive than złoty. One of them is the Euro, you have accepted the Euro so you need to take all consequences, good and bad.
Why do Polish people think prices are due to currency? In Ireland we pay higher prices despite having the same currency.

Nobody ever said that it’s only Poland. Literally everyone knows that it’s a major problem globally. But why I, as a Polish person, talk about economic situation in other countries?
Also as I said in the original thread, it doesn’t matter what minimum wage is. What matters is what is the minimum wage **and** price of the games. In Poland games can often cost ~25% more than they cost in USD. So not only Americans are wealthier, but also have cheaper games. There are countries, for which games cost literally 1000% of the USD equivalent. If minimum wage is 700 EUR, but games are cheaper, it may actually be benefiticial. Plus minimum wage doesn’t matter anyway. Median of the wage matters more.

It’s not about the wages, it’s about [currency conversion](https://kursnasteam.pl/?lang=en)
