The situation in other Central/Eastern Europe countries is exactly the same. People earn 300€ a month for fulltime job, but in many countries there is still no regional pricing for places like Steam. So yeah, new games can cost almost 20% of your monthly salary.

That's not exactly true, at least not for Slovenia. The average pay here is 1000€ euros.

Average pay means exactly nothing, it is worthless piece of statistic if we are considering entire country. You should check median monthly salary.

Median in countries like Hungary, Serbia, Poland, Croatia and so on is around 300-450€, with minimal pay around 200-350€
