New currency coming to Steam imminently.

Just received an email telling me that my USD account balance is about to be converted to New Zealand dollars.

Woohoo!

Looking forward to getting rooked on a shitty exchange rate, then receiving a further shafting with ongoing grossly unfair regional pricing.

At least with the current system, comparing US dollars with US dollars, it's blatantly obvious that New Zealanders and Aussies are getting scammed by some of less scrupulous companies on Steam who feel the need to charge us extra for the same game. Currency conversions will no doubt provide an extra layer under which to obfuscate their avaricious activities.

Here's hoping they play fair, although there's every chance that they won't :/
