Speaking as a South Asian and former school teacher, our average salary goes anywhere from ~100$ to ~250$ a month. I can afford about 10=20$ worth of games every year, inflation dependant.

Note that this is in a culture where Piracy is the norm and actually buying games is practically unthinkable. If it weren’t for Steam sales, wanting to support indie devs and not wanting to deal with bugs/cracks and updates for once, I wouldn’t have ever ‘bought’ a game at all.
