I mean there's also this thing with Steam having advised devs from certain regions to increase their prices, but from what I've seen, for my local currency that would mean at most a 25% increase if the devs agree with steam's suggestion. So price gouging sounds about right. And it's been steadily increasing over the past few months.

I try to give the benefit of the doubt where I can, including to the people who give these inflated games away, but one can't help but toss a glare or two upon seeing it.

Which is sad because I agree that there could be some entertainment gained from some of those games, which is also the reason I was entering them when they were still 10P.
