Holy shit, it's really is. I wonder what factor they used to adjust the pricing, it isn't like this before.
Steam reccomends exchange rate, but it was last updated when złoty was very weak. Now people are demanding steam to update exchange rates to the current ones.

Poland needs to switch to Euros. Dura lex sed lex
I remember someone saying that it makes sense to price games less in lower income areas of the world, otherwise most people wouldn't be able to afford them
This is what I’ve heard too. $60-70 sounds steep in America (and fair enough) but it’s prohibitively expensive in poorer countries. Honestly, I’ve always been good with the price disparity if it means more people can afford to enjoy games as long as it’s not used by companies for price gouging in the countries where they can charge more.
As someone from lower income country, it definitely help a lot, but lately the regional pricing isn't as enticing as before(capcom used to sell their game in my region for about 40usd, which is somewhat affordable). What i'm not aware is that some other country could have price jacked up as high as 45% and in this case 60%(!), so in combination of my own experience they must've change something.
Fuck Sweden I guess
