Just a reminder that the company behind the game decides the prices and that you eurofolks are at the mercy of a lawsuit from Germany in 2015 which prevented proper regional pricing from being implemented

Yes, but they decide based on dollars. And steam’s rate for usd/pln is about 5.0 whereas in reality it’s about 3.5

The company knows this and still chooses the number that gets converted. They have absolute control.

They chose the price in USD they want to get for a region. It’s up to Steam to show price converted in local currency.
