Good, why all other people should buy in USD except Turkey and Argentina; they're not the only countries where such prices are unaffordable.

you are right, we are not the only ones, but we WERE able to afford them in the past and now we can't due to the publishers, not steam.

if they followed the suggested price for the region, then we would be able to afford it, and when other countries that can't afford the games join these currencies, then all of us would get to enjoy the benefit.

a $60 Dollar game should be around $27 for LATAM/MESA, in the case of Argentina, where our minimum salary (which was updated in october and is already grossly outdated) is around $140~$155 US dollars with the median being barely double this, but you also have to know that we pay taxes (problem of my country, not steam, i'm just saying this to give context) in purchases made in foreign currencies, %100 of taxes, so a $60 game turns into a $120 game.

Again, this issue is like crying because they took our cheap games, but at least for me, it's an issue that will only get worse for steam as they add new countries to this regional pricing.

Developers didn't update their prices yet so you see US region price like most of other games atm, it's temporary it might take a few days for updating all current games with new currency for Turkey called "MENA USD"

i don't believe they will...

they has a whole month to do it https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/2720-4EC7-B95A-1D2A

Will the games cost the same as in the United States or will Steam maintain the current prices in Pesos or lira expressed in USD?

Developers set the price of their game(s) on Steam in the LATAM - USD and MENA - USD regions, though our recommended pricing is a reduced USD price. If a developer does not set LATAM/MENA pricing before November 20th, we will default to their regular USD pricing.

Pricing and Steam Wallets in Turkey/Argentina will convert to USD starting November 20th. https://store.steampowered.com/

Even Valve games had US region price yesterday after convert but it took them one hour to update it to new prices.

dude.... im i live and play in turkey... why are u so mad?

my comment is specifically for the clowns that abused vpn's to change to Argentina and buy games for dirt cheap you can thank them for this change they are the primary reason for this im happy they cant abuse this anymore :pinkyup:

the fact that you are wrong and still act so confident is quite amusing, they fixed the VPN issue months ago, they require a credit/debit card from the country you wish to buy from before they allow you to buy in that country's currency, it has been like this for months.

the reason they changed it now is because publishers complained about having to update the prices in their products every month, so no problem was fixed other than simplifying the work for publishers

Those increase prices happen also in other platforms related to Turkey region because many "smart" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ were using vpn for crypto turkey mastercards due region's lower prices compared to theirs.
I have also a very close friend of mine which he did that also for playstation's premium sub and spotify's premium sub and he brought like 10+ years subs for only 200 euros something per platform. Personally i think most of those companies they should track down people who did by compare their data statistics and either ban them or refund their subs instead of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up native people from those regions.

has NOTHING to do with the leaders last speeches about global issues, nahhh no way ;-)

[CestLaVieChickenWing]

so people are paying turkish lira for their games, but live in countries like france and earn euro as salary?

[YARMOLENKO]

Don't expect to buy a 60 USD game for 10 USD bro. Steam gave Turkey a huge price advantage for years, and it is over because TL has been losing significant value for years

but that is not the point. i have to pay more than 12% of my monthly salary for this game. ive read that people earn at least 1800 euros per month in europe. so 60 usd would be around 3% of a common salary.
from 349 lira to 1900 lira. its now more than 12% of my salary. and i earn a little above average in turkey...

thats weird.
