Dollar zone gets a price cut and Euro zone pays original price and in Euros. What is that, 250% higher ?

329% more expensive.

    Well, it’s a continuation of prices politic at Steam lately…
    I see that CoH Tales of Valor is priced 34,99 € on Steam when it’s 27,99 $ on Impulse. impulse has local prices now too but as normal. I’m in Norway and they price the same game 185, 52 NOK (which is around 27,99 $ ) when Steam doesn’t propose prices in NOK at all and rise the prices as never before!
    I compared with prices in Stores in Norway: 279 NOK and on Steam: 380 NOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a tragic loss of IQ for Steam the last couple of months…

    And I thought the Dark Sector deal was bad. Yeah, thanks Steam.

    So people still buy games released with new movies after all this years. A game released along with a movie is guaranteed to be garbage.
