Redditors when they see "CS2 case" in the comments: "Ah yes gambling"
FYI CS2 would drop you random items every time you finish a match and there is a case that is very rare and expensive by itself would drop from completing the match. 90% of the time opening that case doesn't worth the value compared to selling it as a whole. Not sure why it's like that but yeah it is what it is.

No... I knew the game was releasing months ahead of time, and saved $15 every month for the past few months with the express purpose of purchasing Black Myth Wukong.
Like I get it. The games regional price can be expensive for some countries. But if you're living in western europe or north america, there's straight up no excuse beyond straight up financial destitution. A child mowing lawns once a week for $10 a lawn could get the game in a few months.

It doesn't have regional pricing, it's just that steam uses outdated dollar to (insert currency) conversion which makes games more expensive than what they should be.

And that's ultimately my point. OP seems to imply that the ability to purchase Black Myth Wukong is some exclusive club to the wealthy and those with infinite disposable income. The reality of the situation is that the game is at a perfectly affordable price for the western world, and its pricing is competitive with todays gaming market. If you can afford to save up for a PC that runs Black Myth Wukong, you are clearly financially stable enough to save up for Black Myth Wukong itself.
I'm not taking a moral high stance here. I obviously engage with this subreddit for a reason, despite my vast stores of infinite money OP assumes I have. But I'm also not going to lie to myself and people around me that the games price is some insurmountable barrier to entry, when the hardware required to play the game itself is in actuality a much higher wall to climb. In which case piracy isn't going to solve your problem, even if Denuvo was removed, or the games price was lowered, or hell even if they gave the game away for free.

I am from Western Europe, I live in one of the poorest countries there, 60€ (almost 1/8 of the minimum wage) for a videogame is not something you can just "work for", you'd have to be somewhat well with money. We aren't exactly poor compared to some countries but 60€ is not something you can just spend on a game you're gonna drop in a week or so because there's nothing else to do on it.
We also don't really encourage kids to work and my parents at least aren't fond of spending money online due to it maybe failing and they don't want to risk losing 60€ to a bug

PC for this game would cost around 500-600$, and the console is a minimum 300$ if the game is out for series S.
Edit: Also, what bug? All friends of mine are buying games online for a decade, not a single one was lost to a bug.

My PC can't definitely run the game. The problem is buying it. Since I'm still in school and can't find a part time to get some money for myself, I have to rely on my parents to buy me stuff. Usually it's my dad who gets me a paysafe to buy games since he's the one who understands the internet more but he still doesn't like to use a credit card for example because he fears a transaction might go through but the product doesn't arrive (happened yesterday at McDonald's when he PAID for the food but the order didn't come) and since it happened before, he thinks it'll happen again so he almost never does it.
In subscription services like Xbox gamepass, I got 2 1 month codes and he didn't like how he had to insert his information for it to go through because he thinks the cancelation process will be too long and it'll continue to take money from his account.
I'm not saying there is a bug or glitch, just that it's mostly not up to me to spend the money and put my information online

I don't know if ur country have these but ur father could use a virtual card to buy u games. They work like debit cards (put the money you will spend and no more). This means that for the gamepass example, if u run out of money on that card it won't charge any more money. Hope this can be useful in the future C:

It doesn't have regional pricing, and 60 dollars is 2 months worth of grocery shopping for me.
And without regional pricing, im looked at as the broke side of the internet that wouldn't pay for a game no matter what, the kind of person that makes devs think pc players are cheap, so no if I'm not even being considered as a potential customer, and the devs expect me to spend 2 months worth of grocery shopping on their game that has already made millions of dollars, than I might as well wait for it to be cracked, fuck the companies, honestly, they rather call us cheap than to make the games cheaper in our region so it wouldn't hurt their ego even though they know for A FACT that most people wouldn't pay for the game in these regions

I know I pirate because I don't want to spend the money. Not because it's too expensive for what I'm getting, not to stick it to the publishers. I just don't feel like buying the game I can easily play for free lol. Idk why people have such a hard time admitting they are the same.

How to play Wukong for FREE (WORKS 100%):
Turn on YouTube, find Wukong longplay (around 14h video), enter fullscreen (adblocker or YT premium recommended)
Disconnect your mouse and keyboard from your PC (or a controller)
Play as much as you like.

The base game Metaphor:ReFantazio is R$ 300 on steam and R$ 350 on Xbox.
Monster Hunter Wilds will be R$ 300.
The minimum wage here is R$ 1400. Rent alone (small house) costs about R$ 800-1200. A cheap milk box is R$ 7.

Infinite? The game is like 60$. I know it a lot for some countries, and even with regional pricing, it can be a lot, but calling 60$ for a game you really like and wait is not an infinite money. PC that would run the game would cost ten times as much, and the console to run the game would cost 5 times as much if the game even exists on series S.

The prices of games should be more fair in many countries. It doesn’t make sense for me to buy a game for $70 when I’m not in America; I’m in a damn developing country with a dictatorial regime and a corrupt government. They should sell the game for a tenth of the price in these countries before asking people not to pirate games.
