Why do publishers do this crazy stuff?

Retailer agreements.

I should have been more specific... I know it's based on retail but why are games, digital or retail, sold for so much more overseas? Does it have something to do with exchange rates?

Base price probably same all over, but add in Tax and Tariff? Not sure. Would be interesting to find out.
