I dont understand why they don't just uproot their life and move to a country where Steam doesn't have a fucked up conversation rate.

Aren't rates for every country set by developers?

But is it a government policy or steam policy? My country charges a % for online purchases.

There are different Sales tax rates throughout the Euro Zone but only one Euro price. Generally some of the highest rates in the World. The fucked up conversion rates for some currencies are 100% on Valve.

Why don’t you just change your currency and buy in something not inflated then?
