That is the way it is setup to display foreign prices on certain items. They are on sale.

Am I missing something?

As Strand noted, they're not even in the list of games on sale. If that's how it's supposed to work, it seems counter-productive. If it doesn't show on the sale page, and you only check for sales, how would you ever see it? I would be interested in the East India Company, but if I'd just logged onto Impulse and checked the sale page, I'd have never seen it was on sale. I on;y found out because I stumbled across it here.
*edit* I see it does show in the banner, but... I almost never pay attention to banners.
*2nd edit* Strand, in the banner on Impulse it shows Age of Booty and Scrapland as 30% off, not 50%. I believe that was just a typo on ID's part.

Still waiting Impulse to show again price in dollar to see how much european are ripped off with the alike steam pricing. Not displaying dollar price is a shady behaviour.
I think for european the most fair way is to display dollar price and next euro price with a big warning that the game has not a converted price but a regional one.

East India Company and Age of Booty are not showing up as games that are 'On Sale'. It looks like the prices for those games have simply dropped, as it no longer displays the original prices for those games.
Also... looking at Scrapland, it looks like the original price was $9.99. Since it's now $6.99... that's not 50% off.
