Clearly other devs and other games don't have this problem, this is purely a money-grabbing exercise which has backfired on them badly (note Borderlands and other indie games are outselling it on Steam - for precisely this reason).
Red Faction Guerilla was (is?) $40 in the US, and $70 in Aus. Far Cry 2 was $40 in the US, $60 here (I think it's the same now though). It's not uncommon to have the price higher here, especially for the first year.
