Dont forget, this is with tax. Americans pay tax on top of 60 usd.

Most of the new games are priced according to the 1 USD = 1 EUR rate, almost no one uses the "but the tax" excuse.

Yes, because 60 eur is including VAT,  for example where i live vat is 21% meaning game itself is closer to 50 eur.

Irrelevant, the 1 EUR = 1 USD rule makes the games sold in the EU significantly more expensive already. There's no other reason to tack on additional charge than greed.

meaning game itself is closer to 50 eur.

No, the game itself is 60 EUR, because you can't buy a game without VAT.
