Microsoft has made a change for the Store in Turkey, which has attracted a lot of attention. The company, which offers a special pricing advantage to our country in the application and game store, has taken a new decision to prevent users abroad from purchasing cheap games after the depreciation of the Turkish Lira.
Microsoft removed the option to buy as a gift in Turkey!
Microsoft Store offers country and currency specific pricing option. In this way, it is aimed to provide convenience for countries whose currency has lost value. However, this advantage can also be abused.
According to the news shared by SomosXbox, Microsoft has removed the “Buy as a gift” option for the Microsoft Store in Turkey and Argentina. This decision of the company was met with reaction from the players of the affected countries.
Microsoft has not yet made any statement about this decision. However, the estimates indicate that users of other countries can buy games cheaper by taking advantage of the advantage applied to Turkey and Argentina.
So much so that what is seen supports the predictions. Because account sellers abroad buy the games with the option to buy with Gifts from Turkey. In this way, he sells the games he gets cheaply in his own country in his own currency. So Microsoft is in a loss.
To give an example, a game in Spain is sold with a price tag of 35 euros, while this amount drops to 12-15 euros in Argentina. Similarly, we can see that it has decreased to 1 in 5, even 1 in 10 in Turkey.
