This is really the crux of it. When I did my own most recent product - and it's a book, not a game . . . games are far worse for shipping - the ONLY way I could really offer international product was to not ship the same book.
I had to make a separate print run through DriveThruRPG for my 20 or so international orders. These print in the UK, and so shipping to the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc was $5-8. To ship the books that should arrive today (my International backers already have their copies; my US backers will get 'em next week) would cost $30 for a book that was $20 retail.
International shipping is simply a dog's dinner and there's no way around it unless you move enough to deliver entire pallets from place to place. Even then it's no picnic.
