It's kind of surreal to live in a world where the value of (digital) goods can scale to a region's current economic status in order to maximize global profits (i.e. video game costs $60 in USA but the same game is $1 in a poor African country).
It makes sense from a business perspective but it also feels kind of cheesy because intuitively you feel like you are getting ripped off when your neighbor can buy the same good for a fraction of the cost because their country is doing poorly economically. And then it brings up some complex ethical questions like "is it stealing to use a VPN to buy a digital good at a fraction of the cost of your current geographic region"
