Valve prohibit that, according to the lawsuit filed by Wolfire Games.

That only applies to the steam keys valve supplies to developers that have a 0% cut. Also doing regional pricing would be a massive headache if that were true due to different stores having different recommended price conversions.

What do you mean by this?

Aren't games regionally priced like forever ? I've buying key's in GB because they are cheaper. Also Doesn't steam lock you out of your games if you bought US version and travel to the other side of the world? I just vaguely remember people complaining about it.

No and no.

The time lock lasts 3 months, not forever.

I'm pretty much sure that they had 60$ = 60€ kind of regional prices.
