How come some games are costlier in Europe than in the US, while others aren't?

I thought there was some kind of a law preventing publishers from changing the price, hence the games cost say 20usd/20eu, but some games actually have equal prices.

Maybe some European developers understand how bad is having unfair prices.

Publishers/Devs can set their own prices for each Steam region, if they so wish.

If they don't set their own regional prices, Valve will set the price, which results in $=€ prices.
