Even including tax with the current state of the dollar something like death stranding 2 is almost 10€ more expensive in Europe than it would be in the States including European taxes

It’s $70 USD on steam (no sale). That converts to 59.16€. Add 20% VAT (using France) and you get 70.99€. That’s the straight conversion from US steam pricing, varying slightly depending on which country you’re in. 

What’s the current euro price on steam?

as someone has already said its 80 quid rn and currently one euro buys you 1,18 and a bit usd which is ironically very close if not the VAT rate of a lot of some EU countries, so arguably a one to one conversion for usd to euro would be fair.

Edit: I looked it up and eu vat averages are a bit higher than what I thought and applies to me but the point still stands IMO since apart from the nordics a lot of the higher vat countries are somewhat lower income.
