Pricing in Steam

[Fangl]

Hello, could you please find out why the price of the game in the Russian region Steam is lower than in the Ukrainian and other regions of the post-Soviet space?

Hi, it seems like the Ukrainian price on Steam is +128% higher than the price recommended by Valve/Steam. Could you please look into it? Thank you!

Can't wait to jump into the game :)

Can you also verify, why polish price is now about 87$? To compare - USA price is 69,99$.

After looking at SteamDB, there are only 5 Steam regions where the price matches suggested by Valve (the US, Canada, South Asia, South Africa, the CIS countries); for Switzerland, it is -5%; for the rest, it is higher by variable amounts, from 2% to 128%; for the Russian Steam region the game is not available at all.

I guess, I was hoping for $40 and the questionable honour of being a paying beta-tester (would have purchased at launch). The $70 price tag is a bit too much with the inevitable GOTY edition in a year, high system requirements, and Steam not playing nicely with updates (I still remember the last update for Deadfire significantly worsening the experience). I shall try to wait patiently for the GOG release, the Certainly Complete Definitive edition, and the price I can accept.

Still, I hope the launch will be successful for Obsidian, regardless of the pricing issues.
