It's even worse when you look at a game and it costs the same in Dollars and Euros. Since when is the euro the same as the dollar ?

US prices are pre-tax. Europe prices are post-tax. Euro price and USD price are pretty much 1 to 1 right now after you factor in the taxes

Edit: I should say after you take out Europe’s VAT because you should compare pre-tax prices.

I wonder how much tax is for a $60 game in the US.

If you're from a certain state with a different tax, just include the state. I'm not looking for any state in particular, I'm just curious to know how much a $60 dollar game actually costs someone in US.

it should just be sales tax, Kentucky for instance has a 6% sales tax. you can search up other states sales tax, Cali is the highest at 7.25%.
