Sorry, but this is bullshit.

If a car, which was build IN germany cost here more than in China (for example), when that has nothing to do with transport cost etc. Before the eastern European expasion of the EU it was common that a german car was more expensive in germany than it was in Poland or Hungary etc.

And regional pricing takes also effects for non physical goods like the visit in a theatre or hotel. And man power.

To eliminate regional pricing the world needs one and only one currency.

No I really think you are wrong on this.

China isn't the best example, but again I dare you to buy your Mercedes/VW/BWM from China and then have it delivered to you in DE...

About theatres and hotels, does it cost you more booking a room/show online from DE than let's say book the same room/show online in the country it actually is?

Regional pricing is not wrong per se, is wrong in the way it's been handled by most online gaming platforms.

But I'll quit here,since i really like GOG, the point is if I want to buy Gabriel Knight from an online digital shop (like GoG) in Italy (or Germany) I'll have to pay 26.29$, instead of the 19,99$ of the States, the 10,89$ of Russia or the 19.79$ of Poland.
Vats, Exchange rate for currencies, delivery costs, custom duties and minimum/standard wages are a nice smokescreen, 'cause they are different also between Germany and Italy and still we pay the same price.

Why is China a bad example? We are talking about the same good with different prices. And the same with hotels. A hotel in turkey (for example) with the same service than one in germany is much more cheaper. I do call this regional prices. And this exists for all goods...material ones and ohters.

And about Gabriel Knight...that's wrong. GOG gives you the difference back, so you pay only 15,89 € (without discount). And that are ca. 19.99 $.

Such laws would mean the end of the rich western States like the European ones or the USA...

That has nothing to do with the productive of a country as it does with his natural resourcesses. Do you think that the European States or the US can cover they need supply of oil without the delivery from other countries? Russia can perhabs do this but no other industrial state have this capabillity.

Certainly does it makes a different. Not where I come from but wehre I'm living. If I live in germany a car is much more expensive than in China. Gas for that car is much more expensive here than in the USA. It has nothing to do with my racial descent but all where I live my life.

Sure cheaper labor is a factor (and here I thought USA stood for "no slavary", yet we out source our jobs to near-slave like countries) but taxes are just as guilty of forcing companys out of usa.

I'm tired of hearing stories of contaminated goods out of china, most sad of all baby formula and pet food!
Btw, if you guys drink Juice Boxes here in usa, be warned, 90% of them come from china supplied apple juice.
(aka, company either packages the juice boxes in china, or ships huge tankers of apple juice to usa for packaging)
Not to mention the toxic paint and plastics they use in lots of products, againt I have to mention kids toys, boo to china.

India, China

Ah, ok. Isn't it regionally priced there? Cheaper then US or EU?

Same as US, as far as I know.

Where do I see information about Steam's regional pricing policies?

Steam hasn't a RP scheme for India or China at this time. But that does not mean there are no resellers for these markets that offer lower prices...

India's internet penetration rate is still fairly low ( but booming) . There is only one digital platform that specifically targets the Indian market : Games4U . prices seem higher than in Russia ( But the RUB went down by 40% in no time ), but are lower than in the EU or the US.

I see it a bit differently.

If Europe, UK, Australia, and/or the former Soviet Union all have lower prices that the baseline, I would say we are having arbitrarily higher prices for:

When's the last time you checked African countries? Good parts of South and Central America? India? China, if we're talking about the standard of living of most regular people? In fact, most of Asia really?

It's a GOG bug. On May 5, they changed the price from $14.99 to $9.99 in US (and similarly in EU, UK, Ex-Soviet countries, Australasia etc.), but forgot to do it in three regions (EU Eastern Europe (e.g. Romania); Rest of Europe (e.g. Serbia); Most of the World (e.g. China)). These regions (which account for most of the world) continue to pay the older, higher, price in normal times and during sales.

Not that I think that without the bug there is any fairness in regional pricing.
