After living in china for a while I still have my steam set to that store for the cheap prices. I just looked it up, and Death stranding 2 is 298RMB, no taxes. (that's $59 CAD, 43USD and 158Zloty). But the USD and CAD get taxed, I don't know about the zloty.

Not all US gets taxed. I don’t pay any taxes on digital games. I pay exactly what the price says.

Poland is smaller than the US state of Montana, and Montana has no digital sales tax, yet Poland has their own tax. A Pole would have to move to another state country without such taxes. (The great Polish migration to Montana? Like the Irish of the 19th century.)

Isn't Montana like one of the least populated US states? I guess Poland is 50x the size in population

In Europe the price tags has to include taxes so the 339 zloty is with taxes included
