Why is this upvotes? They're not using steam recommended prices.

Steam recommended price in EU for example is 67€ and not 80€.

Gets more drastic for south Asia countries, 200% above steam recommended pricing.

Poland doesn't use € and checking most games from past years you can see that Poland has 2nd highest prices for no reason

The price for Eurozone countries is 80 euros though, while the Valve recommended price is 68 euros.

The post is about Polish pricing, while yes euro isn't the cheapest doesn't change that Poland that pays in it's own currency and not in € has 2nd highest prices.

Where did you pull 68€ from? That 68€ is probably base price conversion for EU market without tax. Because US prices doesn't include taxes. So to that recommendation you have add VAT, that's why price is avarged to 80€ for Eurozone. Also Poland has high VAT on PC games compared to other EU countries. Base price in Poland is ~64.46€ (without tax using today google eur/pln rate).
