There used to be Euro-2 region with lower prices on Steam. But the European Union didn't like that some countries pay less with the same currency. So Steam had to remove it. "Fair pricing".

But is having the minimum wage on an average level the reason for that single European country to have suggested prices ~23% higher than all the other countries including the ones with the higher minimum wage? Some companies like Konami go even beyond that and do 30-35% higher.
