CSGO is now 7.5USD Only in China Mainland

Open

Like GTAV, Evolve, people in China Mainland only need to pay for the half price of the game in US or other region.
So it seems that CN will become another RU.

You can't even trade it so what's the point?

It's better for buyers, but worse for sellers.

BTW, could please someone from mainland China tell how is Steam there? Is it affected by the Great Firewall somehow?

Well, I know it works in China, I was asking more about, for example, if the download speed is affected and so on.

The download speed of steam games doesn't has any problem. But bad ping for online games. And some people even can't download ANY game through Origin. So VPN has become a very important tool.
BTW, most of the people doesn't know steam, CSGO, but CS1.6 and CS Online. F2P games are everywhere, Cross Fire, for example.
DOTA2 and Call of Duty Online are also popular, but I think few people know TF2.
If someone loves steam games, he/she has very likely known how to use VPN.

Origin works just fine here, stop spreading FUD. There are several TF2 servers nearby in HK, you may have bad ping if you are in Dongbei or whatever.

VPN is absolutely NOT required for STEAM or nearly any online gaming except MMO's which block mainlanders.

Most of the world won't care about how much Chinese pay for CS:GO, it'2 $3.75 to $5.00 USD every single sale featuring Valve games, on multiple sites, throughout the year.

I'll personally care more about Valve's region pricing policies here in China when they start accepting RMB. We have to pay in USD anyway.

+1 Origin, Uplay, Steam don't have problem.
The main problem i have here (gaming-wise) is internet speed not being constant therefore often loosing connection in middle of games.

Origin Error 4302
Some people have, but not all.
The problems are different across the whole country.
I am in Hangzhou now. To get 50 ping or lower(BF3), I have to use VPN. Without it, it will be at least 80(usually above 100). And when it's evening, even VPN doesn't help.
You may don't have these problems. But why are so many people using it now?

It's same in China. Some people brought many to sell. Usually they can sell 65RMB(around $10) for each, but now... I feel very lucky that I'm not a part of them.

Well it's not so tragic, if they bought with the old price they should have old sub-id -> row csgo.

Maybe you're right. Just like GTAV. That morning I got the information that the price had been change into $30. But I hadn't brought it...And as the sub-id changed, the 58504 is now worth 265RMB(around $42.3)
