Questions about Israel currency change from USD to ILS.

[Vash Baldeus]

Some games since the change are not available to purchase.

I.E COD WW2, GTA V, Undertale .. Just some games I noticed.. Why is that, before the change we could buy those no problem..

Steam israel

I just got an email that say "steam will soon be priced in new Israeli shekel"
Dose it mean the prices will be like israel as well?
If they are I'm not buying a game on steam.
Israel prices are 70$ to 80$ for a new game even more.

I had ps4 with Israeli prices and games that cost 40$ were in Israel like 60$

[Dominic]

That could be true. If that is the case that is bad for people in isreli. Seeing that would mean they have to pay more money for games.

[NightWall]

No way...
I went to steam to escape israel prices.
If that the case I'll just go to other online stores if i want a new game

[Enriquez]

Actually prices the price of games on steam might go down for you or increase, since they implemented pesos where I live games have been down brought down significantly, all you can do right now is wait

[NightWall]

Ps4 already did it and the prices were like all the stores in israel.
And now steam might go the same way...

[Quickshooter]

60$=211 shekels as of now
if you see anything higher than 220 shekels it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ripoff and you should resort to graymarkets

though honestly i'ed rather support the devs but this seem like such a shady ass move, i always and i mean ALWAYS pay in dollars
weather it's Ebay, amazon or iherb
i don't see the reason why we're forced to convert to shekels

greedy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

cod ww2- 79$
need for speed pay back- 85$
t.w warhammer 2- 76$
shadow of war- 65$

u can change ur region in steam and prices too

[Snapjak]

Because the publisher/developers haven't added your currency to their price lists. Thus no price, no sale.

Great, so I guess they won't be adding the currency. And if they will it will take until the next sequel is released..

[Vash Baldeus]

Also for some odd reason AC Origins cost 70$ (after coverting from ILS) while Shadow of War cost 63$ (after coversion) ... Big question why the F.. Is the difference.. Shouldn't both be 60$ games?

EDIT: Even with the conversion fee 60$ won't translate to 70$ .. Shadow of War has the price of converted currency while Origins has inflated price wth.. Sounds like I am gonna be buying off HumbleBundle instead of steam with these prices.

Buy wherever is cheapest. isthereanydeal.com

Just remember that on Steam it's the devs/pubs that set the price.


This same thing happened when China was added.

[wuddih]

if the buy button disappeared = 99% they forgot to enter the price. happens mostly with pubs/devs that dont care a flying poop about Steam other then counting money. with your mentioned games that seems true.

they had time since september.

for price differences:

every pub/dev enters the price for every currency, nothing is currency converted or uses conversion rates. AAA pubs mostly do their own price research and use that data to set a price for a country. Valve has a function to fill out every price based on their data. AAA moneygoats usually do not use that.

after a quick data breeze and check in partner interface .... is isreal really that rich? you pay more now then you did with usd.

We're ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mate.
Don't give Steam another Shekel until they reflect hard on this bad move and do something about it.

There's a good reason why so many Israelis pop out of the woodworks asking about price changes.
Is Steam really that naive that they think they can con Israelis? Good one.

DEVELOPERS/PUBLISHERS SET THE PRICES.

How hard is that to understand?
