It all comes down to tax in each country.

not only tax but how much the people in the country earn as well.
If the country is a poor country then the games will be cheaper so people can afford them.

Well I would like to know what country you live in. I live in the US and its hard to tell where you live.

As the two stated above there are factors that play into this. Its not only video games... Its just about everything

Most likely the UK. I live in the UK and to see some prices in USA compared to here, it's amazing.

The DLC is manufactured in America and then shipped to other parts of the world. The price is higher because of the added distribution cost.

Different countries make different amounts of money and have different values of money. I know for a fact that money is worth more in the UK than it is here in the US. Just for example.
