They’re not even the same currency at all, yet Steam or any other digital storefront decides to price a 80€ ($91) game the same as a $80 (69€) one when the conversions in reality are different to what the algorithm suggests. It’s reflected on Steam DB that Euro has a higher markup in comparison to US Dollar because of this, since I hear EU players nagging about paying 80€ at launch the same as US players don’t like paying $80.
I know how it works I live in the EU. I think the VAT exemption is possible when you buy digital goods. Ive bought plenty of things on websites where I can just enter my business VAT number and don’t pay the VAT
Edit: apparently the rule is that on b2b cross border sales between businesses in different EU countries there is no VAT charged.
