NOK vs INR Prices for Steam Games

[Jexshot]

I have noticed that compared to Norwegian Krone is 60%+ than that sold in INR.
So If live in Live in Norway and buy A Game which will cost around 200 Nok
which is Rs.1600 INR ( Indian Rupees ) and then again if i lived in India and bought the same game then the price would be around Rs599 INR or ( 74 NOK ) which i find ridiculously cheap and unfair.
Why is that? Why should india get steam games so cheap while we pay almost 3x times the price.

Then again.. Hmm if i get a friend in india and make him buy games for me as gift .. now that would be cheap :)

What do you think? Should Virtually downloadable games be Same priced across the world or the current pricing policy fair?

It's the economy. Norway is a rich prosperous country, while India is not on the same economical level.

I agree that. But Dont you find it unfair ? I mean I could have bought the same game twice with that price.. I find it rediculous. >_<

It may not seem fair, but I don't even think you'd receive the same game version anyway. The version bought in India wouldn't be playable outside India, it would be region restricted, and maybe not even in English.

Unfair: Indians paying lower prices than Norwegians
Not unfair: Norwegians being much richer than Indians

uh-huh. It's not even a fairness matter, anyway. It's a profit matter. Goods are priced at whatever level the seller thinks will maximize their profits. Capitalism is about looking out for number 1, not "fairness."

But doesnt all that money go to the Game developers and steam?
