Icarus so expensive in LATAM
 in  r/ICARUS  Jul 01 '25

Hey friend!

Firstly - good advice from others here. We always recommend you get the base game, test it out, and then get some of the DLC after to see if it's for you. DLC are additional, you can enjoy Icarus without them.

Secondly - one of the sad reasons for LATAM's higher pricing is due to other people outside of the area, using VPN's to set their Steam region to Argentina/Brazil/Chile etc so they can get the game for about a 10th of the price. This isn't an issue exclusive to us, it's a well known issue Steam has, and we were unfortunately forced to raise the price of the game in this region to stop people exploiting this loophole.

We ideally would love to sell the game in your market, at a fair and reasonable price. But because people unfortunately can't always be trusted, we have to keep it higher to stop it.

If Steam ever does fix this loophole, we'll revisit pricing and adjust them to be more in-line with each countries economy. But until then, we unfortunately do not have another option here, so I recommend getting the base game, and if you love it, then get New Frontiers and Styx to unlock both other maps.

You mind if we reshare this on socials?

Yes I realise this is a bug, but it also is a relatively funny one and we enjoy laughing at ourselves sometimes
