Steam Currency in Your Country (GA Inside)

As I live in Brazil, the change was for the best. I've seen many games that sell for 20 dollars be sold for half the price (due to the 1 dollar = 4 reais rate).

Depends on where you live I guess. I am from the UK and when I see how much the same game costs in other regions I almost cry a little inside. Sometimes those super cheap games on sale are so cheap that I have a friend who can buy them for less than £0.01 in his local currency. For him the price is so small we don't even have an equivalent currency for it in the UK. lol

Thank you for the giveaway.

I'd love to get store in ARS (argentinian pesos). For every purchase in a foreign currency government adds a 35% tax. So here you would end up paying 81 USD for Fallout 4

If you want somewhat comprehensive data, why even include a potato option?

we still get US price since we live in VN i dont see that fair enoght like our neighbour like malaysia they alway buy game 50% cheaper than us

Depends on where you live

You can have an example of difference in converted prices here.

On Steam is euro. This mean i'm paying more, because 1 euro is not equal 1 US $ On GMG british pounds >:( GOG Forever!!!

Euro € here. Is worse than dollar as € is more worth than $ but the numbers are the same, sometimes even higher.

One example: If something on Steam costs 50 US$ it will cost 50 € in the EU. € is since its existence more worth than US$ (at the moment 1 € = ~1.08 US$).
On top of that it sometimes is even more expensive. Take a look at the Steam controller and Steam link: 49.99$ / 54.99€. (Not to mention the exploding shipping costs to Europe). So the product itself costs almost 10$ more in the EU.

Thank you for the GA.

Region is good for you but sucks to giveaways.
Region prices, by the way, rarely are the same when you convert currency.
As far as I know, region were created to sell for more acessible prices, considering regional currency.

Turkish Lira.
When Steam switched to local currency most of the prices went down. Some publishers doesn't change their prices though.

It could be good for us in SA. We might end up paying the equivalent price that other countries do instead of the US price according to unfavourable exchange rates. Even better if they decide that R1=$1 like they do for the Euro, but I don't think they'd go that far ;)

After the recent devaluation of ruble, games now are more than two times cheaper than in the US. Though, incomes nominated in dollars became two times smaller too.

In Egypt here Steam uses the US dollar, and saying that 1$ equals 8 Egyptian pounds. so an average 60$ game is sold for around 500 Egyptian pounds.

and since the average wage is 1000 Egyptian pounds (at least that's how much i make, working as a physician in a governmental hospital) , so if live in the street (no rent) and i don't eat or or or or or ,, i will be able to afford TWO AA games monthly :)

sadly there's no hope for a local currency to come to steam because 99.9% of gamers are pirates here, and i can't blame them, really :)

Sometimes its better, others not so much

Central Europe here. Euro is so much unfair for me. Even steam sales titles are not always cheap enough to justify buying stuff from steam.
I say, you don't want my money? Ok, i'll buy from local stores or local digital stores.
I don't even wanna mention the power of my currency. For west Europeans games are not that really expensive. But here where i live the purchasing power parity of my currency is low so games even in local stores are still more expensive, even though the prices looks dirt cheap for outsiders

doesnt matter, you can always keep it in dollars no matter what.

Considering I use the dollar ... nope! ;D

1 dollar = 16.7 mex pesos more or less.

With the change i have been able to get AAA games between 5 and 10 bucks cheaper.

On cheaper games, sometimes its like getting a discount on top of the steam discount. For instance, i believe double dragon its at 2-3 dollars right now since its been discounted, thats around 50-30 pesos if i had gotten it in USD. I got it for 10.

Dragon ball xenoverse cost around 40 bucks 650 pesos. got it for 350. Its a good thing steam is selling now dirt cheap, i can get more games directly from the store and dont have to rely on trades or wait for special sales.

I live in Croatia, our native currency is called "Kuna". We pay in €s in the Store and 1 Euro= 7.57 Croatian Kuna.
I only wish we had prices in dollars since 1 US Dollar = 6.97 Croatian Kuna, but nope, we just have the 1$=1€ policy.
Also, just in case anyone was wondering, our VAT is 25% and the minimum wage (which way too many people live on) is 320€.
So, yeah, it's 85-90% discounts and bundle purchases for me xD

Might become cheaper for you.

Well Steam isnt available in my currency to begin with (I dont think it will be any time soon)

nope, a 60$ cost 60€over here, and that's ore expensive ._.

It's funny. I voted no.

But I've changed my mind.

Game price should be relative to people's income. We've been shafted in NZ for decades with vast majority of games costing over $100 NZ which is over a day's wage at minimum wage after tax.

It's significantly cheaper in the US until steam came along with and NZ ccy and went the other way and made it cheaper. But ... I would rather we all just got a reasonable price in our local ccy. (yes that means no ROW trading). But just fair pricing.

Humble Bundle et al ++

my silly goverment would never allow for that, if we get the prices from brazil i would be happy :,D, as it stand we get the US prices, but our games are NOT ROW >.<
