Developers set regional pricing, but also fuck the UK and her ""people"".
if Valve forced fixed regional pricing, then they'd get sued for that.
But it's also not what the lawsuit is about, it's about a seething developer who was told to stop selling Steam keys (which are generated FOR FREE and Steam takes no cuts) for less than the Steam price.
Essentially undercutting Steam's own store with Steam keys.

The fact that poster shows a discount as if to proof that is the point, proofs how retarded steam droned are.

Valve doesnt set the price, valve doesnt call devs and tells them to lower their price. They do tell devs that they can not sell their games at a lower price anywhere else tho.
How is that a problem? This creates a monopoly that hits the end user. An indie dev is not alowed to sell their games on their own store front without the steam cut. So a dev has to ask 20,- instead of 15,40 it would cost without steams grab.

Also 9/10 times, if game released at the same time on console as it did on pc, you will see that same 90% off on console stores

Yeah, poor indies who have to sell their games on a platform used by millions daily that gives them exposure and lets them sell unfinished alpha/beta versions freely instead of having to pick some web-based peepeepoopoo store that will trap them in a jewish publishing contract and tell them to sell games for 40 dollars. Those heccin innocent indie deverinos who were forced to succeed and get actual sales through Valve's cruelty.

That lawsuit is such idiotic dogshit.

They don't pick the prices for each individual game but you have a system as a developer to basically "auto fair pricing" for each region, I do have it enabled. You put a base price in USD and it gets lower or higher for each country.

>it's because taxes,
when you account for taxes, it still doesnt line up always, but its much closer than it looks because mutts dont like to show you what you actually pay

tax in UK is 20% and included in all shown prices, so, their base price is presented price divided by 120, *100
US taxes range, from basically fucking 0 at 4% to like, an average of 14%

so lets take BF6
uk base price is (60/120 *100) £50. US price is basically the same
fair pricing

GTA5
14.99 is £12.50 base
US is £10.85, so, unfair, UK are paying at least 20% more.

Terraria
£8.50 is £7.08
US is 7.23, so, fair pricing.

Yakuza is
£55, so $45.80
US is 43.45, so, slightly unfair.

as you see it varies, the real issue is LAZY pricing combined with US not doing tax inclusion

It's because it varies by state, America is so large that just having a flat 10, 15, or 20% makes no sense, what works economically in one area would ruin another.

Not to mention their politics allows negotiating.

Even in the UK, for someone like me living in a small town in Scotland, I think the flat 20% is just a London tax. (I hope Russia nukes them)

So they should adjust every price for every currency in real time as they fluctuate in value against the dollar? Pretty retarded desu.
Also don't some third world countries pay less than the US? Should we start a lawsuit about that too?

Exchange rates vary constantly. Pound for example has gone from 1.24 USD a pound to 1.38 USD a pound in a year. Do you want devs to be constantly updating prices, or tie game prices to a specific currency and have them vary on a daily basis?

It must suck to be valve where you do nothing so people just have to make shit up to seethe at you about. Then other people join them because its opportunistic to do so.

VAT is 20% which doesn't account for the difference. The UK has always been fucked on pricing despite being poor and underpaid. I just stopped buying new games like a decade ago because they already cranked the prices to 80+ dollars and since 5 years ago it's now 100 dollars per game. This is a third world country.

False. By default Steam will automatically set regional prices to not be based on exchange rate but "purchasing power" for that region. Steam by default will fuck over certain regions.

Don't defend this shit.

By default, Valve doesn't go by exchange rate. To go by exchange rate you have to manually do every single region yourself and you also you have to manually update it periodically because exchange rate fluctuates.

Valve set it up so doing anything but bullshit price fixing is a major pain in the ass.

He's right and we know this because valve offered better cuts to AAA games that actually had the marketing weight to sell elsewhere, indie devs have no real choice but to eat the 30%. This is a regressive tax on the poorest developers.

True and the only correct position for the gamer. I don't care about your cut, just what I have to personally pay. If all of gaming died today and never recovered there's still enough games to cover multiple lifetimes available. Missing out is not a deal breaker.

A developer who releases a tiny indie game that is 5mb in size and sells 1000 copies should not need to pay to subsidise AAA games that are 200gb large and have tens of millions of downloads (who also get a deal that lowers the 30% take)

Except that's a blatant lie. Valve uses a tier system based on earnings, not whether or not the dev is AAA, AA, or indie. Fuck, you could even argue it's more advantageous to indie devs since the indie game market is actually flourishing whereas the AAA industry is steadily going down the shitter with flop after flop after flop.

Sure thing, bro. I'm guessing you can't say what that multi-national publisher is because it'd jeopardize your position with the company because you're under a strict NDA or some shit but we should totally just believe you.
