7 New Currencies added to Steam: SEK, BGN, HRK, CZK, DKK, HUF, RON [+Lvl 3 GA]

I have the € so mine is in it for a long time and crazy high but hope now that they add more currency it gets more affordable for people from those countries to buy games!

interesting information. It will be something to watch unfold. Thanks for the GA

As a hungarian game collector i feel very excited. I hope it will help me and not vice versa.

Bump!

Just hope Swedish krona gets the same prices as Norwegian krone. Our currencies basically have the same value (1 SEK = 0,98 NOK) so it would make sense. Also NOK is usually a bit cheaper than EUR prices so that will be nice.

So now I'd be able to get most games at a higher price than most other regions in Levs instead of Euros? Happy day! [/s]
(And if they actually do lower the prices to a reasonable level, cuz someone wished for it on a monkey's paw or something, then I probably wouldn't be able to gift to most of the world... there really is no winning with this system, is there?)

I am from Croatia which is economically weak country, but I don't think we'll get regional price reductions because we are in the European Union and I think there are some laws that would prevent steam from doing that (they wouldn't be allowed to geoblock our purchases I think and they might even have a law that they can't have different pricing among countries in the union but I'm not 100% sure, if someone knows I'd love to know).

I am from Czechia and i always was worried about that, but Valve almost killed giving Steam gifts, so maybe it will not be that bad. Also, we are not as strong as other € country, so we could get cheaper prices on games (i guess max 10%). Otherwise i dont care about it, i am really used to calculate with € and $ price for games.

Buy better servers, Valve!

This could pave the way for publishers to sell regionally restricted games in those regions, but unfortunately, that doesn't mean those games will also be cheaper.

Now need to invest my wallet into items to avoid the inflation i would get by having a HUF currency, before this change goes life and valve convert my wallet.

Not sure we will get cheaper prices tho, -20% would be fair at least for HUN-ROM-CRO-BUL-CZE, just like for POL, I dont know what the steam suggested discount for them.

The biggest joke on steam is that the most expensive region is EUR usually always, but it should be Suisse/Switzerland and Norway. Funny, that games cheaper in Norway than in Macedonia or Albania:-)

I don't buy from Steam often enough to compare price differences. Just being able to read the prices in the currency I use instead of EUR is going to be so nice. No more approximate calculations in my head or looking up a currency converter :D
