Could you perhaps look at the 1$=1€ policy though. As of now you get the same money from Americans and Europeans from it because we Europeans pay 25% VAT and the Americans pay 0% VAT. That the price in € is 25% higher than the price in $ is coincidental though and at times we have paid 50%+ more for our games than Americans. You do make really great games though and I don't mind paying the higher price (most of the time), but I don't find it funny to have the feeling I am being milked.

Hi,
Pricing structure and currency variations is something we constantly review to accurately represent the different regions and currencies we support. Today we track more than 26 different currencies and we strive to adjust these to better accommodate regional regulations. One of the many reasons behind our pricing is, as you pointed out, the VAT. Another reason is that we generally follow Steam’s pricing recommendations as most publishers on Steam do. We know that sometimes the final price you end up with differs from region to region, however we will look closer at the current situation and evaluate how it affects us, and most importantly, all of our fans.

Kind Regards,
Daniel
