By the way. I could also rant about a Volkswagen Passat with uber-luxurious features is sold in the US for 30k Dollars, whereas here I'd have to pay 40k Euros.
You bought a Russian game. That's why it is in Russian language. You might have known that at the time you were buying.

I don't think that Westerners, with Russian copies of COD, are whining, so much as they are pointing out a very important point. Here is an industry, exploiting high skilled low cost labor and here is a publisher able to make a profit selling a Russian game for $14. Westerners went out of their way to take advantage of the lowest Global price. If a Russian publisher can access the Western customers, tailor the product to their needs and sell the product at the Russian price point, then customers in the West could enjoy benefits from a Globalized economy: Global free trade hits a home run. This is a great case study for Harvard and is a beautiful exercise in Global free market capitalism.
If Global customers can bypass the intrenched interest of regionalist rich hypocrites, seeking to live like parasites off of cheap Global labor, while passing off unnecessarily hIgh prices to local customers, then we are all better off. If a Russian Publisher can make a profit at a $14 price point, it is only because the Western rich have unrealistically high expectations of what executive pay should be in a globally competitive market and because the US and Europe have sheltered spoiled trust fund babies (needing illegal aliens to wipe their butts) from living in the Globalist dog eat dog World, the remainder of humanity lives through day to day. Right now, in the US, the middle class compete in Globalist screw you land, while the rich live in a comfortable and sheltered regionalist welfare state.
