Using euros instead of CZK is resulting in 50% more expensive games.

Seriously, what the ♥♥♥ is wrong with Steam already? Poland got their ZŁ and now has a lot cheaper prices than in euros, even though they're located in the EU.
So now we want CZK on Steam. We do not have euros and we no longer want to rely on exchange rates to buy something off Steam.

Old but still relevant info about this topic...

Valve talks about adding currencies and other payment options here. Some where after 35:00. They just use Russia as the example...

When/if it gets added, remember that prices are set by the devs/pubs and if no price is set, you'll be unable to purchase the title until they do.

Dude, I already know about this. It is just taking ages to add CZK. The last time I posted about this was 2018, now this is 2021 and we still have to pay more for the "luxury" of buying off steam.

And due to fluctuating exchange rates, one euro is now worth 28 CZK instead of the original 25.

If the original exchange rate was 25 CZK to 1 EUR and the current one is 28 CZK to 1 EUR, that's a 12% increase, not 50%.

50% is $ to €. $15 =/= €15.

Firstly: it's still wrong.
Secondly: the dollar price has no impact on your price. You are using EUR. So the exchange rate of CZK : EUR is what is used.

Also US prices exclude taxes. The game itself costs about the same. Something people still have to explained after years and years.
