Chinese games

Closed

Quick question. Why are chinese games so overpriced? You see some flash game that normally would cost 1-2 euro but it's price is 15!
Does anyone know why this is happening? I tried i quick google search but didn't find anyything.

games are sold at this price, because they are bought at this price...

Mostly because of shady devs that sell them somewhere else as Steam much cheaper but can say "normaly it costs...". And partly for cv exploiting too.

Behind the most stuff are the same companies, till they get banned from steam and make a new company.

Yup. Same reason there's so many trash mobile games filled with microtransactions on the MS store that are "regularly priced" at $80, but are permanently on sale for $0.

It's not just Chinese games. It's a lot of the garbage indie titles. I think these "devs" have realized that if they price their games too low ($1-3) people will automatically assume they're trash and ignore them so they have to increase the price to make them look legitimate. I see a lot of trash games selling for $10-20.

1.Some developers didn't make games for sale,just to made their resumes pretty.
2.Some are reseller's tricks,responding to steam's new gift policy.
