When the Steam store was introduce in AU in 2009, the AUD was much lower then the USD. $1USD = $0.6AUD. So to charge $90AUD for the same game that cost $60USD was pretty much the same, after you took the exchange rate into consideration.Originally Posted by General121

But since 2009, the AUD to USD has been on a steady climb, yet Steam has not made any changes to the Store pricing policy for Australians inline with the AUD's increasing value.
In Dec 2010 the AUD reached parity with the USD, so $1USD = $1AUD, but Steam still didn't change it's Store pricing policy for Australians. Instead, Steam has continued to rip Australian's off.

Are they legally able to charge more for seemingly no reason?

Steam does whatever it likes because there are no real alternatives to challenge them on pricing to keep the prices low.
