To a native speaker. It might just be me, but it might be less cost-effective to localize to a language without close relatives in proximity, relative to another which has close relatives in proximity. Compare translating to Finnish alongside Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.

I don't think that would be an issue, as you still need professional translators to translate the same source material. 

But, yeah, there are roughly 30 million(?) speakers of finno-ugric languages, opposed to 500 million speakers of germanic languages.

That's the issue with localizing to Europe, I guess. Unlike the Americas where you could localize to American, Spanish, Portuguese, and French and be done witrh it.
