They don't have VAT in the US, and their sales tax is a bit different. I'm not sure if it applies to digital purchases.

However, the price difference is often larger than what taxes alone would suggest, but surely localization plays a part here. Still, many European countries would need a reduced price just like the developing countries (to a lesser extent) to have an equal purchasing power compared to the US.
