Put it this way, PRAGMATA (Deluxe) costs:

US UK EU
$69.99 £59.99 69,99€

However, when you compare it with:

KZ (25465₸) KR (₩79800) UA (1999₴)
$53.10 $51.35 $44.65
£40.05 £38.70 £33.65
46,65€ 45,10€ 39,20€

I mean, it’s like this with AAA games (depending on the publisher and distributor) if they consider regional pricing based on GDP but that’s not always guaranteed. Why does the same cost less in Kazakhstan for example but it’s overpriced in the US for American players (when you include sales tax)?

    Because money is complicated, and it’s priced where they expect that (copies sold) * (unit price) will result in the highest number for each region.

      It’s also very possible that the costs of distribution are different in different regions. I’m no expert so that’s just speculation.
