    So I have my Birthday coming up on 28th of September and seeing this game will hit beta some days prior and that the fun stuff is finally coming in so I have a question: Will the price of early access drop when beta hits? Seeing that 65 EUR gets you Alpha access it feels a bit steep if I have to pay the same price for beta.

    Price on Steam in EUR are higher because of VAT.
    Price on Uber store in USD for everyone, so it's will be cheaper if you buy game there and then convert it to Steam key if you want.

    I've noticed that this is not the case. It seems that developers can set their own prices, and those might be quite a bit below/above the "VAT" cost.

    Yes devs can do that, but then they'll get less money from EU players. E.g VAT still need to be paid, so these developers cut their revenue to keep same price in all regions.
