From Runic Games forums:

The reason for the slight increase over a 1-1 cost comparison for European cash is that there’s a VATS tax for those transactions that gets folded in. At least I think that’s what it’s called. I’m mildly delirious.

My bad for the not correct information above. Steam does the almost right currency convertion and then add the VAT so the price is fair (as fair as VAT can be…). The other things I said however are still valid.

I would discourage to purchase it on Steam. You can buy it on the official site with the same benefit and paying 20$ like it should be. Also all the money would go to the developer instead of the 60% they get from steam (that also has a rised price for EU even with the 10% off).

Developer had to put it on steam to have more visibility but they need 2 steam user to get the same money they get from a normal user. Probably many of you found out about this game because it’s on the steam news, but now you know that you can also pay the right and help the developer. Think about it.

Looks cool! Graphics is like cartoonish, like Borderlands and Silverfall. Also it reminds me World of Warcraft..

Damn, why there are no pretty-girls wallpaper?

I think that the game is good enough to buy to spend the time while waiting for Diablo 3

And look, they have thought of EU people too, not so hard but still.
