Skewed regional pricing is caused by retail distributors having too much influence. Most often they print physical media and distribute it in their region. And if percentage of such sales is high, they can dictate pricing to game studios. And often they set those prices high, and also require to sign a contract, that same game distributed anywhere digitally should have same regional uneven pricing.<p>Pure digital distribution takes retailers out of the equation (or even if majority of sales are digital, retailers don&#x27;t have strong influence anymore), and developers can easily set prices any way they want - for instance one flat price everywhere if they wish.
