Regional pricing for Poland is riddiculus.

[ghoulas]

Sorry but current regional pricing for Polish zloty is a complete bulls4%^$% We have price even higher the whole EU. I'm not buying unless you guys fix this up.
:(

I wonder why Poland is recently treated as a country of very rich people - most new games come out with prices almost the highest in all zones
Unfortunately, I'm letting go of this game due to overpricing in our country

We've followed Steam's guidance on this. Can you explain the pricing issue for us? We'll talk to our team.

[ghoulas]

I sadly see the same for every new game release. We are either treated the same as rest of EU or even worse. Even if we have half of the purchasing power compared to the rest of EU.

[Krzys22]

Compare the purchasing power of money in different countries. Somehow I don't see that our currency has such purchasing power. we earn definitely (proportionally) less than in other EU countries and we have almost the highest price. WHY??

Well all I can say sadly OP has a point

@JoeyFHG I think the issue may be that Steam guidance for this may be.... Fairly bad. Poland's GPT's for example is 1/5th of GDP of UK while GDP per capita is less than half and at the same time Price of game in Poland is higher.

[Cirind Chaosdiver]

But well still can't really blame you devs for a mistake on part of steam cx.

[ghoulas]

SO we would need to put a feedback on the steam price guidance. But will we be heard? Maybe we should take it to some youtubers so they make a big news on that.

We're keeping an eye on this! We'll see what we can do. Steam basically has a page where you follow price guidance for their markets, and we ticked yes since we have no idea what the value of all currencies is.

lol seriously ? Whole EU have cheaper prices than Poland ? Have you done at least a simple GDP per capita research? Here i can help you: https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/gdp-per-capita-ppp?continent=europe Poland have nearly the same GDP as Turkey and yet Turkey can buy this game for less than 10€ and we have higher price than UK, Norway, Germany and France lol https://prnt.sc/Azy_1u2h2seS

Understandable. We should take this to steam than.

It's really not on the devs dude. They shouldn't have to go through every countries GDP blah blah blah. Steam has guidelines. Devs use those. Complain to steam.

Though I don't really like regional pricing.
Seems like I should VPN and buy games from other regions to get them half priced.

Thank you folks for understanding our position here! We'll try and make it work, but we're in a weird spot right now.

Aiee yes, just checked steamdb for prices comparison and Poland is indeed the 2nd most expensive range after Swiss Franc 50% more expensive than US prices and 35-40% more expensive than Euro/UK prices that's harsh
but then again I'd agree with Power, it's Steam's fault not the devs...

[Krzys22]

but the Creator himself can probably set the price himself. Because as far as I know, these are recommendations, not price commands from Steam
