Anyway, I've never seen game price in zloty on Steam, GOG introduced it few months ago, but never heard about Steam doing it.
From my perspective buying games from other regions via VPN in order to pay 1 euro for it if it is super expensive for your region is not better than stealing it. Just my opinion.
I am mad that the prices of the digital copies of games are expensive in general. But it does not mean I feel that it is ok to cheat developer and pay price that is not for you.
The other topic is - why the same product in digital version (so with no obvious additional costs) has so different prices for different regions.

You are probably referring to the recently again more common term "central Europe", but this term is highly disputed and usually used by people with a historically revisionist agenda. And especially for Poland I would be careful with it, as in Germany people basically only use the term central Europe in the sense of "since Germany is the center of Europe" it should also decide most things or (mostly for older people) in the sense of "most of Poland (and the Baltics) is actually Germany and we should get the these territories back from them".
Both are quite right-wings positions I don't agree with... but especially as someone from Poland I would be careful using the same terms as those groups mentioned above.
Edit: I am surprised Poland even allows prices to be displayed in anything other than their legal currency. Most sovereign countries forbid this with good reasons (mainly to avoid parallel currencies not under their control). How it the VAT displayed in the checkout? Is Steam seriously displaying Polish tax payments in euros?

The term itself sounds innocent enough of course, and thus you can easily hide your true intentions behind it, with naive voters not even realizing what the term entails historically speaking.
I am not really for banning certain expressions and so on, but if they are consistently used by certain interested groups to downplay and hide their actual agenda, I think it is worth considering to not play into their hands by arguing through using the same terms (as that becomes both confusing and since language forms thoughts, one can easily get into the situation where the argument is totally framed by forces you don't want to have that power).

Regarding price in Euro - I'm not a lawyer - I'm not 100% sure if it's legal or not.
