Average Full-time Salary in Europe (And here in the Baltics we have the same game prices as Germany. Regional prices are so ‘fair.’ We need our own region.

Not an accurate map anyway. Salaries in Sweden are higher than in Finland.

Mississippi has much lower wages than Massachusetts but they don’t get their own US region either.
That’s how works when it’s a single market. Poorer EU countries also benefit a lot from being in the EU. I’m sure wages would be even lower if they weren’t.

Same here in the Balkans, we pay the same prices as the rest of Europe but have drasticly lower salaries, hence why piracy is so rampant here.

Is that before or after tax?
Edit: Even if that is before tax, 53K in Germany is ludicrous at best. Your average joe earns at best 42k and that is 2.300€ after taxes. Most people I know have about 800€ for gas and groceries after paying rent and insurance.
While I was living with my parents, I could easily afford to buy multiple games throughout the month. Now? I rarely go in and buy something during sale, because the prices of everything else skyrocketed in the last years.

In which universe the annual salary in Greece is 18k? They all pay min wages which is 8k-9k annually max. Also VPN would make it so they can get it for cheaper. Can’t remember the game that had diff prices and people exploit it by using a VPN.
18k????

Blame steam but not your government… In Spain just this decade we past the 1000€ monthly barrier… Before it was just close to 700€ the minimum wage, now a little more than 1300€…
