A cute example of how we have progressed, so that now new users don't seem to know that we even have regional pricing:

But wouldn't a Belarusian (Why does spell check want me to write Belorussian? O.o) gamer be aware that their prices have a steep discount at all outlets? I assumed Steam did the whole region locking because people in that region sell keys for profit?
I'm probably just in denial... I don't want people to be that ignorant. =/

Forgive me, everyone, I'm pretty tired - do these changes reflect the fact that the EUR got stronger against the USD?

[...]
13) Bottom line: The trend seems to be that if a game becomes cheaper in Europe compared to US due to regional pricing, the regional pricing is cancelled for it You mean the FPP is cancelled, yes?
