    If EU instates its own tariffs, do Steam prices instantly go up or can they bypass this with a legal construction like having EU subsidiaries be the publishing entity for EU customers?

      I’m pretty sure European (and in fact all non US) users of Steam “buy”/license games from Valve GmbH in Germany not Valve LLC in the US.

      From their subscribers agreement:

      If your card was issued outside the United States, your payment may be processed via a European acquirer by Valve GmbH on behalf of Valve Corporation.
