Looks like they are dropping the regional price and will be using USD. F hermanos

They aren't dropping regional prices but instead switching them to USD. They made new LATAM-USD and MENA-USD regions that now include Argentina and Turkey along with 25 other countries that didn't have regional pricing before

They are dropping regional prices, before that you would pay in your regional currency which is far cheaper than paying in USD, plus, a lot of developers don't care about those regional prices or don't care to update them, in those cases you end up paying the same as you'd in the US. What in the US may be a sandwich in the third world can be a big portion of your income.
