It's so sad that a European company rips Europeans off. €1 is worth $1.27... I know you don't use the Euro in Sweden but come on, Johan!

Why are you trying to get them to raise the price?

Since there's a difference in the woth of € and $ it wouldn't be raising the price but instead making it equal among countries (although I believe 29.99$ is more expensive than 20€).

They are not the same. :mad:
True, but once you've accounted for the price in € including VAT at typically 15-20%, while the price in $ excludes, and is probably not effectively subject to, sales tax, the difference isn't as large as the exchange rate indicates.

1 euro is about 1.25~1.27 USD

VAT in most EU countries is between 19 and 25 percent. You are comparing US prices without sales tax to EU prices with VAT.

Net price difference is minimal.

15% is Luxembourg only, but that makes them a very popular place for locating online businesses.

Actually I should double check what VAT rate is applied to my Steam purchases. I normally buy through Polish and UK online stores and occasionally via the Steam website. Used Nuuvem a few times as well for non region locked games, I have no idea what taxes were applied there, but I'm guessing most of the price difference was due to a discount for the local market.
