This is because Sony did not even inform that these adjustments would occur. The most affected games were from the PlayStation Hits line, which increased their price by about 24%.
What is PlayStation Hits? And why did Sony make them more expensive?
In short, PlayStation Hits is a collection that carries a seal. This collection gathers the most successful PS4 games. These games are offered at a promotional price. However, now Sony has decided to make them more expensive.
This collection contains great PlayStation classics that can be played on the latest consoles due to backward compatibility. Therefore, even though in theory those who had their games' prices increased were PS4 users, those who already own the company's latest console are also affected.
Today known as PlayStation Hits, the list was formerly called Greatest Hits. This makes sense since they are the company's biggest successes.
However, this change puts us on the same level as Americans. In the USA, games in this collection cost 20 dollars. Since 1 dollar equals 5 reais, we end up paying roughly the same amount as they do for the games.
Of course, conversions are not that simple. But this shows that the price is steep, especially since people in Brazil do not have as much purchasing power as in the USA.
