Regional pricing

[Drago]

I would like to inform you that the Polish price of Schedule I on Steam is 2nd highest in the world, due to Valve's automatic exchange rate for PLN which is outdated and does not reflect current purchasing power of Polish currency.

There's an awareness campaign about unfair prices called #PolishOurPrices that already resulted in multiple devs lowering their unintentionally unfair prices of games such as Hades 2, Silent Hill 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Starfield, Factorio, No Rest for the Wicked, Selaco, Mullet Mad Jack, Into the Radius 2, Shapez 2, Felvidek, Dusk, and many others (you can ask them for references).

Please, don't rely on Steam's default regional pricing - adjust it for the Polish market! This will encourage Polish gamers to buy your games directly on Steam

The Polish price is 12,82% (10,45 zł) higher than the EUR price.

EU: €19.50 (81,54 zł),
PL: 91,99 zł (+10,45 zł, +12,82%),

EUR/PLN = 4.1819 (28/03/25 14:26)


Poles’ purchasing power 33% lower than European average:

It will be difficult for this topic to be noticed. I see people make new posts every minute or even more often.
