Just don't get that kind of thinking. If you can get something for less, why would you want to pay more? What someone deserves is irrelevant. The prices were set as were set. Probably also by developers. If you can get that goods for lower price and are the same goods, then... why would I want to pay more? Nonsense.

Your economic history might be poor.
People and countries are willing to do that in order to protect themselves.
If your country wants to protect national agriculture and develop it, yet that agriculture produces at a higher price than imported products, the state might want to rise the import taxes, exactly to make the imported products cost more than the national produced ones. It might also want to make its citizens aware to buy national products instead imported ones.
WW2 Combat Flight simulators game development market is a niche market. It means it has few potential customers, and therefore must practice high costs with small profits. We're not talking EA/Activisionlike businesses turning money with the tens of millions in here.
If you don't understand that you need to support a niche market as long as you think it worth and have the means to do it, then you as well are doomed to remain without it.
