Well the Greenlight developer fee varied based on what country it was purchased from, so the new system will likely be similar.

I can't imagine Valve putting that much thought into it, it might be a simple conversion of the fee they plan into the "local" currency. While I like the equality of it, for smaller developers in those countries, it could turn out to be a large portion of their monthly income, with no guarantee of return. However, I assumed quite a lot of things, we should wait and see what they actually come up with.

Well the fee of the greenlight doesn't vary as you said



I hope the currencies system be applied or devs in other countries would be unfair

And it would be much cheaper for me to register as a company in Tuvalu than it would be to pay the submision fee from my home country, so I'd have plenty incentive to abuse the system. Hell, #i'm far from the shadiest developer in the business, but I'd be forced to consider it, as would my employer...

Wouldn't that be illegal? Not just a violation of a web site's policy, but actually a felony of some sort? Falsifying government documents, tax evasion, and other crimes?

Actually it does, for Brasil the Greenlight fee is ~50 USD.

You have to consider the local economy. If Valve charges 5k USD for Brasil for example, is the same as charge 15k USD for the US.

So, they will use different prices for different regions, probably...

As long as the paperwork process is translated to Norwegian im happy

actually when i paid the fee ( i'm in egypt ) i payed 100 dollars
what you didn't understand from what i'm saying is
let's say the new fee is 5000$ so when some one like me pay this fee in egypt i will be 100000 egyptian pound which is way too much for someone to pay it's too much for the living standards here so what i want is too much a system to be suitable for the living standards in each country for ex
in USA the required fee be 5000$ ( as we considered before ) and the fee in egypt be 5 thousand pounds and so on for each country others may be 2000 for their pound and like that for each one but if it got payed by the money equivalent to the dollar other developer in other country will be @@@@

It's not going to be $5,000. That's just what some third party developer had suggested once to Valve.

The fee most likely will be the same for all places due to high chance of its abuse. Or would you like your egyptian game to be on market only in egypt?

finally i found someone egyptian like me and understand our current problems .-.

It is best to find like-minded people or people that understand you better. Good luck :)

Not at all, it's an everyday part of a global free market. Why do you suggest there would be any falsification of documents or evasion of taxes? Perhaps your own standards are colouring how you believe others to operate?
