When are they going to add the Australian dollar? Our exchange rate is a real pain.

Ah ok, hopefully it gets solved sometime in the near future.

I'm Greek and I don't want euros anymore. I want my Greek drachmas back. :'( :P

It's very unfair for Greece and I guess for most of the other balkan countries, to pay in the Euro tier for Steam, indeed.

I didn't mean to pay in a different currency, but to have a viable paying policy.
A triple AAA title is 10-20% of the monthly salary (for the few that can have a job).

We got the same in Poland, yet no one seems to notice. Most people here earn 300-500€, and new mainstream games are 50€ on Steam.

Exactly the same. They should create a new tier for some European countries with such criteria, else it is simply ridiculous.

Actually there are 2 European pricing tiers (used to be 3), but only Valve games have different prices according to them. Every other publisher just makes their price the same. Valve should make them somehow use the different EU tiers.
Alternatively I would support a pricing scheme where the whole world pays the same and without region restrictions (like GOG once had). Then it's at least fair.

I dont know the pain and i dont want to know it :D

Not always, especially if our region would get price adjustments. Paying 50-60 Euros for a new game with average middle class salary around 300-600 around here is nearly impossible. I'm not asking for RU/CIS prices, but it is ridiculous that Norwegians and Japanese, both with GDP per capita like ten times higher, get 20-30% better deals on ROW games just because currency adjustments.

Same reason there's not going to be Polish złoty, Hungarian forint, or Romanian leu - they are meant to be replaced with Euro. Even if it doesn't actually go through in any of these countries, Valve prefers to play it safe and not bother with currencies that are going to become obsolete anyway.

Yeah, true. NZ recently got their dollar & some games turned out to be cheaper, If I remember correctly. I hope we don't get screwed over, but considering how things are with use, it's probably inevitable.
I guess we won't be seeing our dollar until late next year, or even in 2017 as the case has been delayed until March 2016 because Valve called in "sick", apparently. lol

I'm not sure should I be happy or not that my country isn't getting its currency added on steam. I wonder would the price go up or down if they do and would games bought in my country be regionally restricted if we get our currency up there.

does that mean row keys goes to its own extinction?
this may turn steamgifts in to a boring place...
