The game is too expensive for turkey

[Barry D. Light]

There is no special process specific to the region. Even though we have one of the worst economies. If we try to buy it with all the dlc it is 1600 TL. The games and their DLCs need to be sold at half the price of what they are now, otherwise there is no way we can buy them at this price. :(

You have in smaller parts people to blame, who were exploiting low regional pricings, by masking their region to Turkey or Argentina to buy the latest games for super cheap. A couple months ago, VALVe changed the LATAM and Turkey regions to use dollars in the store, citing the weak and volatile local currencies, and many publishers simply didn't bother or want to keep the regional pricings for those regions low anymore (greed is to blame for the latter).

If you're lucky, other authorized stores have better regional pricings:

Alternatively, if you own a Nintendo Switch, maybe you can get a physical copy at a store in your region for cheaper.

But in Russia, they give a discount for full DLC up to 14 dollars, our economy is in worse trouble than theirs.

£40 is expensive but it doesn't cost much less here in Britain for the game and all DLC.
It is worth the money. 1000's of hours of gameplay.

The thing is, it's not all like 40 bucks for OP. The currency and economy in Turkey is so weak that the game's more like roughly £200-250 for the average working Joe there by comparison. This is also why so many people used to abuse Steam's regional pricing, by changing their store-regions to Turkey; Get the latest full priced games for a tenner or less. Man publishers never bothered adjusting their prices, after VALVe ditched the Lira.

Please revise the price for Turkish region. You already have a lower price on Epic Games Store.

[Eprico]

I feel like this could result in people abusing the lower Turkish price by using a VPN? I don't think it's possible to lower the price region to region unfortunately

Or get the*original* files somewhere else, either family share or...

PS: Saying it because this game doesnt even have a DLC check, you can easily get all the content
>inb4 i dont know how so will get malware
Learn how to search or, again, safe method is family share

I wouldnt reccomend using VPNs since its mentioned here because Valve CAN detect that, a friendly reminder that they restored thousands of accounts some years ago to the original country, if thats not a warning, I dont know what is

I'm playing on Epic Games, but the problem is that daily run don't work.

I'm pretty familiar with those alternative ways, but I'd prefer a legitimate way to buy and play the game. That way I won't have to deal with updates either. They already offer a better price on Epic Store, why can't they offer the same price here? I don't prefer the Epic Store just for the steam workshop btw, otherwise it is the identical game.

They must have forgot to revise the price after the currency change for Turkey and Argentina. It is impossible for them to sell the game at this price point.

^^ I perfectly understand the reason, but Im not sure if I share it. Historically, updates in this game have always been quite slow once they finish releasing the hotfixes after launching a major version. Right now, the game is nearing a year without any update (QUICK EDIT: A year already passed, my bad), and the one that will be for the coop mode will come out... well, after a year hehe
The cycle would go like this: [Major update -> Period of minor fixes post-release (because they love launching the product without testing it seems) -> Pause period until the next update], then it repeats

In summary, the effort in that regard is minimal, as I see it, but nonetheless I understand your point and also the matter of the workshop, if the EGS version is compatible with mods I guess you can always download the mod files either manually or via SteamCMD since you already own the game here, a pain I know, but oh well

Regarding the price, as far as I remember, its chosen by the devs, not an automated process. They have price recommendations, etc, that they decide to ignore and set the product at a higher price, or not
Smol reminder, even when ARS had not been removed, they raised its price and, in turn, the price of the DLC also increased (from around 100 ARS to about 1000 in the case of Repentance and such), another reason why I believe it is intentional, nothing they "forgot" about
I cant say anything about Turkey because I've never followed the price of this game there, perhaps you might have more info regarding significant and previous increases
It might seem unfair to the natives of such countries, but if they keep it that way, its clearly because they are still making money (even if not from there), ensuring that the game is purchased at full price, preventing foreign players from taking advantage of the weaker economies

But why the game may have a better price on the EGS? My best assumption is that, once again, it all comes down to how profitable it is to sell it on one platform or another. Remember that the Steam cut for the devs is significantly higher here than on EGS: 30%, while there its 15% if I recall correctly
Cant think of any other reason for that since the price is set manually by devs there too

Thanks a lot for your insights. Again I can still take the troublesome route and download the files whether it be the mods or the dlcs, but I just want to buy a decent service at an acceptable price rather than saving money. Maybe I might give up at the end but we will see..

The thing about the prices are, when the currency transition happened for Turkey and Argentina, steam gave the developers two options:
1- Set your custom price (they showed some recommended prices)
2- If you don't take any actions we will set the price to default USD price.

Before this event happened the complete bundle was on steam store for 116₺ but now it costs 1640₺. As you can see, the difference is huuuge, and they used to offer better prices.

Is There Any deal reference: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/the-binding-of-isaac-rebirth-complete-bundle/history/#price-chart:detail

On the topic of regional pricing, they already offer the game at lower prices for these countries:

Russia - 14.53$
Brazil - 19.38$
India - 19.76$
Ukranie - 20.31$
etc.

SteamDB refecence: https://steamdb.info/app/1426300/

People can already can take advantage of this policy.

It costs 50.96$ for Turkey currently. It is more expensive than AAA titles, They offer prices ranging between 15$ to 60$ (very rarely it is 60$)

And they don't have an Argentinian price either since the change.

That's why I still think they somehow forgot to change the price and since the buyer population is smaller compare to biggest regions, they didn't realize it.

Updating the price takes a few minutes, it prevents piracy and it solves a service problem.
