QUOTE(Mr.Beanster @ Aug 11 2010, 06:35 PM) europe 19.99 equivalent to $26. 43% still $26  steam without offer is $29. gamersgate havent realise bfbc2 having price drop from $49.99 to $29.99. i assume the price should be somewhere below $19.99 with price drop. Yeah, GG is either very greedy or slowpoke in revising their game prices. Do note though that the currency sign for GG UK is in GBP (United Kingdom Pounds), not EUR (EURO).

Checked US region & found 2 more games newly added into the list: Crysis with 50% discount & tagged at $14.97. Crysis Warhead with 50% discount & tagged at $9.97.
Not linking these games since they're in US region.

Protecting regional distributors?  Or the sale is put up for tax evasion or some sort in the US?

Or the sale is put up for tax evasion or some sort in the US? There are many reasons for region-locking games. Sometimes it got to do with local policies, developers' request or embargo related. Heck, what you mentioned there might be true as well.  I've tweeted them to get confirmation if our region here will get no love. Waiting their reply.

Crysis & Crysis Warfare are the only 2 games newly introduced into the list. Currently in the US region GG, SummerSale list contains 32 games.

Seriously.. if you compare to SC2 and some other title. The price now is quite decent. I'm satisfied when i bought it for RM129 retail.. for these few months i had a lot of fun with it. 221 hours played and counting..
Considered money well spent for me.. even comparing some of the cheap games that i bought..

Right now is still pretty early in Sweden. I'll try to check if GG is outdated in tagging their games' price.
