The average wages are totally different between western and eastern country, and you're damaging the developer buying the game with a so lower price when you CAN afford to pay the western price.
My thoughts as well, although to avoid the filter the choice is more lightened.
I am in serious doubt myself, pay Oleg the fair 'Western' price but receive a copy with a non-removable filter. I have to think about it for a while

Me too.. We're in a limbo...

I could agree with this, if in fact the Dev. team does get the added profit (or at least a good portion of it). But if it's only so that UBI can purloin some added cash for them selves, I have no issue with people buying the Russian version.

Anyway for me it's not really an issue as I've put my purchase (and rig-upgrade) on hold, on account of the UBI factor.

Not necessarily.
It may even be the case that 1C get more money from each sale of the Russian version.
As it's the publisher that sets the price, additional pricing on the Western version may be for the benefit of Ubisoft. that said, additional money to Ubi may indirectly benefit 1C slightly if Ubi fund 1C developments in the future.

Of course, this might not be the case. We have n way to ever know.

Yep, its stupid to discuss about this as we don't have the sales figures of how much will Oleg make from international or domestic sales. I doubt there to be much difference.

Anyhow most guys who get the russian version now will eventually get the international version anyway, and even if not, in the end of the day the more the game sells the better as currently there is a high risk of this game not selling at all..

I bought the Russian version as a quick preview/demo of the game.
I have a Euro version preordered.

In essence I paid £8 to have a look before my version is available.

It is always interesting when someone else decides what I can and can not afford to do with "my" money. If the Russians "really cared" about this sim than I think they could afford to also pay the western price.

@Bulldozer

it is my experience that mixing numbers an capital letters in a screenname is done, in the overwhelming majority, by the, let say : less older, people (i.e. kids), to appear "special".
So your name might have misguided me, my bad.
So if you are a college absolvement and a ifr-rated pilot with a steady income you could easily spend those 49€ for something that might give you more fun than the reason for your mentioned loans.
Thats what i think and i also believe that OM gets a bigger margin in the rest of the world than in russia.
I think even the people with less money here in europe have a much better living-standard than normal people in russia or sourrounding countries, so it should be easier to pay the regular price.
If i have offended you? sorry!

To all: sorry for ot.
