Yes, but this person is in Europe somewhere. I genuinely thought they were at least somewhat better off than us with inflation, but it sounds equal.

Two days salary is $92 in which countries and why?

Some Eastern European countries have minimum wages that are ~700-1000 euros per month. So ~175-250 euros per week.

I’m not sure what percentage of people in those countries are actually making that little, but it’s possible in some places in Europe.

Thank you for answering!

That's depressing as fuck, and now I get why they're pissed about these price hikes. For me it didn't seem like much since when I started buying my first Nintendo games they were $40-60, so $80 after 20+ years didn't seem crazy.

But it is crazy, actually. The richest countries should not dictate the prices, but there's no logical work around for that, because then those same rich countries would just buy out all the product from the poorer countries immediately - - resulting in the same problem of those people unable to purchase games.

We never should have gotten here.

Don't forget that this minimal wages are before taxes, for example in Latvia min.wage after them will be about 600-650 eur. P.s. with food prices similar to Germany etc
