Steam

HelloI saw that "Don't Starve" in Steam costs 11.19 € and in the main page it costs 11.99 $ . So, does anybody know why in Steam it's costs more ? And both has 2 copies .

That's always the case with games being sold in the European region. It probably is a mixture of taxes, royalties, and other small costs. Games that are being sold in the States for $50,- are being sold in Europe for €50,-, that's just the way it is. I'm not a economic so I couldn't say.

This is normal coz of differences in regions. Other regions have VAT, which is bigger or smaller and other taxes. Look that game will cost in europe zone 14 € and in usa it will cost 15$ after release. Thats nice thing, most of games have something like $=€ which is so bad and its common practice...Remember that Valve is taking 30% of sell value and Humble Store can take less to give you cheaper game.I think buying games in Humble Store is better than buying on Steam. You can have No-DRM copy and other bonuses, like Chrome Key (i think its propably same as No-DRM, you need only be logged on google account) and versions to all systems (now Chrome Version is only way to play on Apple computers). This is my third game from Humble Store (not including bundles) and im really satissfied. No-DRM versions and Steam keys at the same, or lower price (Im in euro zone too! Game in Humble store was cheaper by 3$ - 2.4€ in my pocket).
