If your economy is worse of that of US or EU, then congrats, you'll have cheaper prices \o/ Romania still has its own currency, but Steam shows us Euro prices, which are very high for what our economy is. Having regional prices would be awesome.

noone can say - some countries with their regional prices and steam regions gets better prices - like Norway, which despite having one of the stronger economies in EU still gets cheaper Steam prices because of their separate currency, in other situations it's the other way (New Zealand nowadays sometimes has more expensive games than both EU and US). Whether prices gonna be better or not will really depend on how developers/publishers approach pricing for new regions. One good thing is for sure - different regions much more commonly have price glitches compared to US/EU (it's easier to make a mistake in region which currency you do not know), so this one is good - will give better chance for getting games cheap if you are fast enough to buy a glitch ;)

Funny thing, there was BYN in recent steamdb leak, but now it's gone. I guess i'll stick with russian retail keys for a while then.

I do not buy things for GAs anymore because of obvious reasons, but I still do get monies from trading cards, boosters and ocassionally other items and it would be a shame for this money go to waste (it would mean that valve is getting money - market fee, yet I am the only one getting nothing). So I am still buying stuff, only for myself this time ;p

Does anyone have an idea when these currencies will be officially available? How long did it take to add new currencies the last few times?
