I haven't found anything by searching the forums, so i hope i didn't miss any threads about this.

The question is; who is setting the prices for Telltale Games on Steam? TtG or Steam/Valve? As Steam refuses to give an answer in their forums and don't answer tickets about this, i think i'll ask Telltale Games directly.

Since around Dec. 17, 2008, Steam decided to charge €uros for european customers. But all they did, was changing the $ sign into €.

Example:

Telltale Everything Pack US: $69.99 = swiss francs 82.24
Telltale Everything Pack EU: €69.99 = swiss francs 108.66

(United Kingdom is the only european country having prices calculated to 'an' exchange rate - and it's even chepaer!
Telltale Everything Pack UK: £37.99 = swiss francs 66.10! But we're not allowed to buy in UK)

Let's stick to US $. In my case, recalculated at today's exchange rate in $ (if i was allowed to buy from the US, like before Dec. 17, 2008) the difference would be $24.35!

I wouldn't mind to pay one or two extra bucks for buying on steam, because i really want the dev's at Telltale to get the money they absolutely deserve, but the way Steam behaves right now, i'm glad i still can buy in $ directly from you.

Thx for an answer!
