35$ for Poland?

[Sorith]

35$ for Poland? Why are we placed 2nd on the price list in terms of how much we pay, with only Switzerland above us? There's absolutly no way we earn similar amount of money compared to Switzerland. Please do something amount the price adjustment.

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to bring attention to the current pricing of Steam games in Poland. As you may be aware, the exchange rate between the US Dollar (USD) and the Polish Zloty (PLN) has significantly impacted the affordability of games for Polish players. The historical exchange rate data shows that the USD to PLN rate has been unfavorable for Polish consumers. For instance, on January 1, 2024, the exchange rate reached its highest point at 4.6074 PLN per USD1. This outdated rate has made Polish prices some of the most expensive in Europe. While I understand that developers have control over their own pricing, I kindly request that Steam consider adjusting the regional prices for Poland. Given the economic circumstances and purchasing power parity in the country, a more favorable exchange rate would greatly benefit Polish gamers. I appreciate the efforts made by Steam to provide recommendations for pricing in different currencies. However, in the case of Poland, these recommendations do not accurately reflect the economic reality. I urge Steam to take into account the specific entertainment purchasing patterns and economic conditions in Poland when determining game prices. As a loyal Steam user, I believe that fair pricing is essential for a positive gaming experience. I hope that Steam will consider updating the suggested prices for Poland to align with the current economic situation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to any adjustments that can make gaming more accessible for the Polish community."

Many sites already wrote about this issue when they've noticed amount of posts in this thread and amount of people voices here so we already achieved something right?

Currently the two things we can do is to do the above and second thing is to keep this thread alive and hopefully get noticed by Supergiant.

Up
Poland is not as rich as western countries, and the price is like top 3 in the world

[Sofk]

bruh what..... 17.5$ in Kazakhstan. Why so big difference ?

[Sorith]

Ye but somehow we got one of the highest prices...

[Bazinga]

it's not top 3, it's top 2.
Yeah it feels like a scam

I bought almost all games except pyro from SG, but tbh I don't feel like carrying about hades 2 if the price is set up this way.

I'm assuming Valve decides, since they probably make the regional pricing no? On SteamDB for some reason Poland and Swiss are the only ones with a lot extra, what's up with polish currency to be more than pounds.

Beats me... I hope it's just a bug or something like that...

Romania's price is also around 31$, which is insane considering our average income and this game being early access. They need to change this stuff fast, as much as I like Hades 1, I don't feel like paying more than the first game for an incomplete version of the second game.

There is no regional pricing for Romania tho, not sure why but I never remember seeing regional pricing whenever I bought any game on Steam.

Damn, I'll take that. It's $39 in Canada.

the Polish don't use loonie dollars as reference

[miki77]

I hope the devs see it and adjust the pricing. It’s really ridiculous for Poles to have a higher price than the eurozone.

its CDN$ 38.99 + taxes
min wage in canada is 15.75$ to 17.40$ depending on the province
so 3 to 4 hours at McDonalds to buy this games
min wage per hour in poland is PLN27.70 game is 138,99zł
so about 5 -6 hours at min wage

Tell that to PiS and their "taxes"

[Felonious Punk]

Because the developers support Russia.
