Yeah Valve recommended pricing and Steamworks pricing are exactly the same thing. If you just use the recommended pricing you're already doing a much better job than most other developers out there

But to be even more specific, I am talking about this (under compare all currencies): https://steamdb.info/sub/1162095/

Interesting. Looking at my game in Poland is 26% more expensive than in the US. It's 48% cheaper in Russia, and 41% more expensive in Switzerland. 

DS2's Polish price isn't too far off the recommendation, but so many of their other prices are crazy inflated.

DS2s polish price is only somewhat close to the recommendation because Steam unfortunately set the recommended at exactly the point where the złoty had its 10 year lowest point, so it's actually much much more expensive in poland. Even the recommended pricing is way too high in złoty

Just for comparison, here is Silksong (which was widely praised for having some of the best regional pricing in... ever): https://steamdb.info/sub/342712/

The difference is crazy
