Euro Tiers
Update 10.09.09:
Valve removed Tier 3 and right now we have only 2 Tiers. All countries from Tier 3 were moved to Tier 2.
——————————
Valve divided Europe into 3 2 different zones. We call them Tiers.
Say what? Let us explain.
If you live in Tier 1 you’re paying the most for games on Steam, if you happen to live in Tier 2 you’re paying a little bit less and finally if you live in Tier 3 you’re paying the least. Is that really necessary? Is that fair? We’ll leave that for you to decide…
Check below in which Tier you live in!
Note: The chart above shows €. Tiers system currently applies to Valve games only!
Tier 1:
Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Netherlands, Sweden or Switzerland.
Tier 2:
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain or the Vatican City (We’re sure the pope is happy).
Tier 3:
Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania
Here’s an example price from the Steam store:
Team Fortress 2
Tier 1: 19,99€
Tier 2: 14,99€
Tier 3: 11,99€
Wait where is UK? 
United Kingdom is NOT on the list because UK has pounds as their currency, and apparently for Valve UK is not a part of Europe or the European Union.

FUCK YES TIER 3 OH GOD
i live in TIER 1
at least Valve CUTS Games that are Payed from Germany. (i mean forced low violence)
Keep in mind that these tiers are only for games created by valve. For the rest it’s up to each publisher
There have been some changes in the tiers. Albania and Macedonia were removed from Tier 1 and added to Tier 2.
Today I just realized how easy and convinent it is to order all my games from Amazon.UK. (From Germany).
Although I like the comfort STEAM offers with a centralized gaming control for your PC, I cannot stand these overprized offers anymore…
Thanks for this site
There is still Tier 3.
Estonia is in Tier 2 now, Latvia is in Tier 3 and probably Lithuania too.
Damn, I didn’t know that we are doing so good.
Or maybe, Valve guys were checking out this site and seeing me being from Estonia, changed the tier as revenge
