It seems you're comparing prices across different platforms. On Steam, a game like Watch Dogs costs around $60, while on Origin it's about 77 euros. This difference likely reflects regional pricing and platform policies. There may be reasons behind the variation, such as currency conversion or market demand.

It's about staying within the rules. If you're looking for cheaper options, using the right sites and currencies can help. There are many countries and money systems to pick from, and I've used them consistently to get US prices instead of local ones without issues.

They likely keep it at 60 without changing the currency to avoid extra effort.

Origin and Steam rely on your location data to determine pricing. To display different currencies, the correct location must be selected. They can easily convert prices this way.

Finland switched from Marks to Euro, and some stores followed suit. The issue was the small exchange rate between € and $, where 1€ equals roughly $1.2. For Marks, 6 million is equivalent to 1€, so a 2 million coffee cup now costs about 2 euros. Capitalism keeps driving this change...
