God of War Creator Criticizes PS5 Pricing and Explains the Problem

Cory Balrog, the director responsible for the latest installments of the God of War series, claimed on Twitter that PS5 prices are too high and should vary by region.

Cory Balrog is a creator known to players primarily for his work on the God of War series. He is currently one of the most popular game developers - over 300 thousand people follow him on Twitter. On July 14 he posted quite an interesting opinion on his account. He believes, the prices of PlayStation 5 consoles should vary depending on the region.

Barlog initially stated that "games are for everyone. Or at least that's the world he wants to live in". This prompted a reply from user Phiter, who pointed out that it's difficult at the moment, because in Brazil the PS5 costs as much as 5 times the local minimum wage. Barlog wrote back that this is indeed not right and conceded his interlocutor's point. Then he also pointed out the nonsense of how much Sony consoles cost and that their price is inappropriate for the region.

What do you think about Barlog's statement? What is the current price of the PS5 in your region? Is this the right amount of money for gaming device? Or maybe this price is not worth it and it's better to buy a good PC, which will serve us for many other tasks?
