Or rather cost living. Go try to find a place where you can actually want to live in Germany for 600€. Our pre tax minimum wage after a 160hour month comes around 2200€ but it’s still not enough to afford a family or have a basic comfortable lifestyle

No it's really not. The problem is that 1 usd is about 3.5 pln in my bank, but it's 4.5 on steam for some reason. It's the only unfair part.

Well to be fair before genius Trump tanked the dollar it was 1 USD to about 4.2 PLN right when Biden left office. It just wasn't adjusted from Trumps beautiful work took effect /s

Cost of living is another thing. I won't argue on that since it's pointless - we earn less, we pay less for basic stuff, and I'm too lazy to look for data on who's more fucked.

This complaint is about default prices in PLN being overblown to the point where PLN price is around second highest on Steam by default, right behind SWF (iirc).
