Countries with lots of inflation have to pay in hard currency. Not the first time such a policy has existed.
We will go forward with Epic Games Store. It is not like good games are being released each day nowadays anyway. Gaming industry has gone a path completely disregarding consumer satisfaction.
Is this not partly in response to people using vpns to switch country and buying the games cheaply in expensive countries?
It seems developers didn’t update the prices after the move to USD… It seems Valve sent them an email saying they need to set the price for the new USD-Argentina and USD-Turkey, otherwise the price for USD-United States will be applied…
You can always sail the high seas.
Yeah, maybe the people being outraged over inflation should stop voting cretins into power.
If you live in one of those countries, you should work on your options to leave, instead of wasting time playing games on Steam.
I hope the Turks will realise that Erdogan and his policies are to blame for everything
Gaben had a little chat with Erdogan, he didn’t like what he heard
Honestly if you’re so fucked by the economy you should just sail the high seas and try to make ends meet. Buying games is hardly something you should think about.
Stay away from Kazakhstan!
Does this sub also include Argentina to be apart of Europe now also
Using Turkey or Argentina for your VPN has been a long-time lifehack to get cheaper games. I suspect most of Steam users registered in those countries aren’t even living there.
Lol what is this “sail the high seas” meme can someone ELI5
If the price model in Argentina doesn’t pay off properly, Steam will simply adjust it to optimize profits for them and the other financial stakeholders. The free market will fix this situation.
was nice while it lasted. argentinian prices were fair for most modern games . I guess i’ll return to the pirate bay
