Are Slovak and Czech republic holding "black peter" regarding steam prices?

Minumum wage in country around 400euros
Avarage wage in country around 700-1000euros.

And we need to pay more for games than Japanese which have avarage wage around 3000euros.
We need to pay more than USA players which have income around 2800eur monthly.
We need to pay more for games than South Korea, Switzerland, Canada, Singapore in which avarage wage is greatly more than 3000eur.
And more...

While we are on same economical level as for example russia, brazil which is getting games for 50% less.
So this is equality you wanted to do with pricing policy? I heard that different regions = different prices so "poor-er" people can afford it.

But somehow you forget to include us.....

You need to discuss this with the devs and publishers of the games as they are the ones that set the prices.

The problem is that there is no region for that, you know we are in EU, using EUR currency(slovakia) and koruna(czech republic). But you can not pick to pay in korunas.
But funny(sad) thing is that Poland, which is in EU, have they own currency(zloty) and they have their region. Ofcourse cheaper than EU region (than us).

So lets look closely Poland vs Czech:
In EU: Poland - yes ... Czech - yes
Own currency: Poland - yes (zloty) ... Czech - yes (koruna)
Avarage wage: Poland - 4500zl (1000e) ... Czech - 28000 czk(1000e)
How much of base price they are paying: Poland - 70% ... Czech - 100%
Own steam region: Poland - yes ... Czech - no
Another fact note: Poland is even neighbour country of Czech.

So basically 2 similiar economics, 2 countries nearby, 2 same sitution but 1 is paying 30% less than another.

In Bosnia it's even worse.
Average monthly wage is 374 Euros.

And because politicians have 3000+ Euros monthly wage, that average is not accurate.
Regular person averagely gets only about 200 Euros.
And not mentioning dirty tricks private company owners do. Like making people work for wage below minimal allowed.
They transfer 200-300 Euros to your bank account and then when you take money from Bank your boss requires to give him back 50-100 Euros in cash.

They can do this because of high unemployment rate (57.5%) so people who have jobs will do anything just to keep it so they can feed their families.

And yet we have to pay full price for Steam games, same as other countries with much higher incomes.

I get ya. Bethesda screwed us over even more in Fallout New Vegas, we paid the EU price and we got the CIS version.
Seems if you are a user and you this, they terminate even your account, but publishers do as they please.

Publishers/developers set the prices for their titles and the separate regional pricing for countries that use USD on Steam.

Ask them to change the prices.
