15 EUR would be more appropriate. I know the economic situation in the region very well :P FYI the game is for 8 EUR in Russia.

Let's make it clean . In EUR tier 2 averange wage is 6.50 PLN at hour, for today it is 1,51 Euro . In germany ( EUR tier 1) there is minimal wage of 5.85 euro at hour . Also live in most countries of EUR 2 tier us is more expensive then EUR 1 acording too money power .

I never said that either, but I did like and have complimented the incentive from the dev. You on the other hand jump at every opportunity to attack anyone who wishes (though I agree about OP statement about price being steep is out of the line) to get games cheaper.

No, I mean people who pay more for less - digital distribution somehow ends up being more expensive than retail here, which is even more silly when the box comes with a Steam key anyway.

And to be clear, in my opinion 20€ base price for the game that OP linked is perfectly fine.

So the first option is the best in your opinion. Ok.

Higher price does not equal to higher quality game. Unfortunately this is rather common and not exception nowadays. Higher game costs are often not justified also because great (more than it is normal, because big game companies are hiring people, who have no idea about software developing) amount of "developing" money goes to PR and marketing and often the game that gets the hype is just shit.

edit: My point is that the price tag has to be justified and it also must take into account the region's solvency (if they want to use regional restrictions to games).

No, you're the best first world problem I plan on solving. Kerosene or Arsene is the important question at hand.

For someone who screams so much "Russians stealing from developers", it's funny you don't see you steal from developers too.

I agree with you and yet I feel the urge to hit you in the face. Maybe that's the issue and you should do something about it. In alarming amount of branches of this thread (leaking towards other topics on the forum) it took you like 5 messages to actually write a statement that isn't skewed while claiming you already said it an eon ago, hidden somewhere in your "I want brand new games that took years to make for 1 Euro the day they come out. I'm a gamer, I'm entitled, and I'm owed what I want." masterpiece.

Sorry I can´t support you to...maybe after I rescued portugal

South European countries with a great economy, hilarious.

No offence, but that's brainwashing political propaganda from some parties (not that any of the political parties is even remotely salvageable - some spout garbage one way, the others spout garbage the other way, but in the end it's all garbage and we dance to their tune, because it's just a show). :)

Our economy went up to its highest after we joined the euro, not the other way around. Corrupt political spending AFTER getting the euro funding like shady "public-private-partnerships", etc. and what not, among many other factors drew us over the edge.
One would think that a country with roughly 11M people and a geographic area 88x lower than Australia wouldn't need 230 parliament politicians, when they themselves need only roughly half of that and still manage to be up top in economic growth. And before you argue that it's because they're such a big country... Luxembourg. They're the opposite of Australia in terms of dimension, and take a look at where they stand in economic growth. And they also joined the euro. ;)

One would also argue that lifelong subsidies - with no max value mind you - for politicians, etc., etc., is taking a big toll as well, no? ;)
But no way in hell any party's propaganda includes that. ;)

Also one thing nobody likes to hear around here, regardless of it applying to them personally, was high consumerism from some people. The dellusion of being better than we actually were. We were better than we are, don't get me wrong, just not enough to justify the steep high spending. Even the US suffered quite a bit from that last part, regardless of politics. Some people grew unaccustomed to save money and incurred on high personal debts. But that last part is only a small fraction of the problem, sure. There were many factors, but changing currency wasn't one of them, trust me. If we were still in the "escudo" era AND had we done all those mistakes i mentioned (and then some), we'd be back in the stone age by now. Things would be even worse, as they probably will still, come next elections, given that whoever wins is probably gonna do so by promising what they shouldn't and god-forbid they actually deliver that "poisoned gift".

Not that i want to start a political debate, just my 2 cents though. ;)

A bit TL;DR for "2 cents" though, so... sorry about that "rant". :P

Same thing here in Sweden.

Very interesting, thanks. Doesn't mean EU2 will be kill though.

Talos Principle has a brand-new package (#56219) with EU2 pricing, so it's clearly something that Valve still does upon request.

CN is China you dingus

That's not even in CDN lol

Many things are sold at the price which people want to pay. Any t-shirt in a store for 20 euros or 10 euros, cost 1 euro in production or less. People simply want to pay the price (obviously it is calculated by sales unit not by the people themselves what they "want" to pay =))) ).

Same way the work of programmers is fully covered even with 90% off or with Russian market prices (subject to sale volumes). Although the investors who put their money into game dev can switch to another investment type, because their revenue is not high enough.

That's just 90 entries, most of them are good EA and Ubisoft games (Mass Effect, AC: Black Flag, Rayman Legends...)
