I don't remember who it was but some developer who's also an influencer was having a problem with piracy on one of his games in I think it was brazil? something to do with the fluctuating currency making it prohibitively expensive no matter how low you set the price, so he just made it free in Brazil.

Might be this dude; it is not free, just very affordable in their market. It turns out making it affordable also brings in a lot of revenue.

PirateSoftware I believe it's who you're talking about. But yeah he didn't make it free, just priced well for that country
