Jealousy

I bet you are jealous of their salaries, too...

On the other hand, you get a cozy 2000 EUR salary in Germany, and a person in Vietnam gets a bag of rice on their payday. So yeah, you have every reason to be jealous

The average wage per person in Vietnam is around 3.2 million VND ($150) a month

Nah, I'm good.

The comparison should be made with USD, because we usually get a 1:1 conversion for most of the titles, example:

Nioh: $49.99 => 49,99€

49,99 EUR=58.44 USD

That's the real problem, because I hope you don't wish to be paid like a Vietnamese. Still, RU/CIS prices are lower than Vietnam ones.

“The only time you look in your neighbor's bowl is to make sure that they have enough. You don't look in your neighbor's bowl to see if you have as much as them.”

Why don't you move to Vietnam than

As a Vietnamese I really don't think you should be jealous, like people above have said our average wage is really not that good, and the country's economy in general is far from stable. Video games is still viewed as a kind of luxury here, no matter how much cheaper they are now (on Steam anyway) compared to some other regions. I'm very glad for the reduced price, but I will still have to save up to feel comfortable spending money in games.

think about wages, its so simple
edit:
must be troll, if you live in germany

How much do the Vietnamese earn?
How much does a doctor make in vietnam?

Well it looks like steam had a hard time selling them games priced half of their monthly salary...
Jealous? I assume you are being sarcastic :)

In germany(your 1 month salary is more than enuf to pay for the game you stated above, just a forth of ur salary which is $467). If you live in Vietnam and work , your 1 month salary is hardly enough to buy all the game u stated above(it cost roughly $171 in Vietnam). Whats with the jealousness :D

Talk about jealousy
we (SEA ppl) are usually jealous of those ROW keys/gift
because unless we buy it from retail store (which is God damn pricey than steam store), we aren't very brave enough to create a GA here
not to mention if we are about to gift something to someone from out of our area via steam, sometime we'll have to pay the price difference

so lemme do a simple conclusion from my own perspective

1. You know steamgifts and live in SEA : either be a leecher here or take that money out of your wallet
2. You know steamgifts and live outside SEA : all is well
3. You don't know steamgifts and live in SEA : You live in a bliss of eternal discount that You don't even know
4. You don't know steamgifts and outside SEA : nothing really matter

CMIIW

Ok, now imagine you live in Greece, like me. Imagine having to pay for games in german prices, but getting a greek wage. :B

Let's check.) Will you buy Fallout 4 for $300 or 300 Euro? I guess not. But we must pay like that price.
For you - 30 Euro is average check in restaurant or 6-8 cups of coffee, for me it is >60 hours of hard work (with no food, no bills).
It's not because we don't want to pay, it's beacuse we can't spend so much.
