As usual with anything computer-related (and particularly with Steam, it would appear), the UK and Europe suffer the most - very puzzling. These are not discounted prices, they are actual prices, when steam is on sales those prices are even lower. Steam let developers use regionalized prices if they want. Not sure but I think those prices are based on Purchase Power Parity. Russia has a really undervalued currency, this is why they have the cheapest price. Euro and British Pound are really valued currencies when compared for example with Russian Ruble. 9800X3D@H150i // Msi RTX 5090 Trio OC // 64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30 // 2TB + 1TB Nvme Dell 27" 2127DGF - 1440p - Gsync - 165hz Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus // TCA Quadrant Airbus // TFRP T.Flight Rudder Pedals // Logitech Flight Multi Panel
September 11, 20178 yr Commercial Member Nothing particularly suspicious about the pricing of our Arrow III. DTG use the Steam currency conversion system and we use our own, hence the differing non-GBP prices (GBP is the 'standard' price as we are UK company). DTG have in no way licensed our software, they simply sell it via their Steam store. Thanks Martyn - Just Flight Martyn - Just Flight

I can accept that there may be some variation in price because of currency differences/fluctuations but it's puzzling to understand why some countries pay less than half the price that the UK pays for the same, downloaded product (and that the UK and EU should end up paying more than the US does). Surely that can't be down to just a currency conversion? i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3

Tell that to MS, they sell their products at a flat rate conversion, for example if one of their licenses cost in USA 30 usd, they will charge for the same product 30 GPB here in the UK. They think we are RICH!!, maybe after brexit we will be poor and the situation might change 😂 Simbol Oficial Website: https://www.FSReborn.com Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/XC82TqvKQ3

Surely that can't be anything to do with currency conversions? It's partly due to currency conversions, but mostly due to the variation in tax rates around the world.

If that was the case there should be a maximum of 20% difference as that's the extra sales tax (VAT) we pay in the UK over the base price. i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3
