Why does the State of Israel pay more money for games in STEAM?

[Romgar]

I am a Jewish American citizen and I did a check on all the games here and compared them to the dollar and the euro What I have found is that a person from Europe and a person from America pay less the more the same money A person from Israel and a person from the rest of the world pay between 25% and 50% more I asked this question with steam and the answer I got was hallucinatory steam decided that this is how they pay in this area. So I asked to pay in dollars and their answer was no! Because I and others should otherwise pay them less
Without a clear answer as to why players from Israel pay more it seems like uncompromising greed and that they can Not to mention that they sold me 3 games that do not work without a refund like the game who knows Command & Conquer 4 Tiberian You asked them who decided like that BDS an organization that hates Israel? The world 21st century owes thanks to Israel who invented many things life-saving drugs Google The first computer was created in Israel watsaap. YouTube The new iPhone processors The new Intel processors Everything was created by smart people in Israel But the American companies are the ones taking the credit steam without a logical answer is considered a racist company in my eyes and lucky I do not have to live with it I will go to a court in Colorado and get from steam company the answers because me and my friends from Israel pay more for games out of greed for money And they break the international sales laws and laws they wrote that I read them sit there people behind the table who record who will pay more without financial balance one can put on a game $ 500 and the other 100$ GAME battlefild that came out costs Israelis $ 159! That for the rest of the world it costs about $ 80

Greed for money on one country without balance ,thank you very much steam

Again all false, you've already been linked direct info on how steam works. You are INCREDIBLY wrong to the point that it would be difficult to be even FARTHER from the truth.

Steam doesn't buy keys, steam actually GENERATES the keys that the retailers then provide to other stores to sell their games.... Steam is straight commission, they don't buy anything

They do buy, try to buy a game that works on the Ubisuf Games platform, and you will see that when you lose your license, they will tell you to buy the game again. I have already lost a license once.
Introduce it as an example fruit and vegetable store of all kinds that when out of stock they buy goods because it is an online games store And that's the answer I was told I lost my game license Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood I have the game here steam but I can not play just install game

Again they do not, you are completely wrong. I already linked you to how the store operates. If you are buying games on ubisoft's platform that has nothing to do with steam. Ubisoft sells games on multiple platforms and if you buy it on THEIR store you would also have to buy it on steam if you wanted to play it on steam.

Sounds like you have ubisoft issues, again, nothing to do with steam.

As said, it's always the developers/publishers who set the prices on Steam. I already provided you the documentation on it in an earlier post.

Complain to those game devs/publishers that it's not fair.

I told you HOW STEAM works they buy for example 1000 licenses for one game and lets say the game is far cry 4 and they took out a 50% deal on the game do you think they are stupid? They raise another game for one dollar and that's how they play with the prices

Yes, and you are wrong in that. Again, I linked you the official documentation, read it.

Steam does NOT purchase licenses. Steam is a marketplace where game devs/publishers can sell their games.

not onli ubisoft try EA game will enter on the registered side Game licenses without licenses You will not be able to play with Process license You will have the game and you can install but not play it STEAM buys these games up to its platform store and earns 2% to 5% percent and sometimes at its discretion and one cent for every such card you buy and complete the cards and related products like the "team fortress" game

Again, no it doesn't. Steam's commission is a flat 20-30% based on the revenue of the game.

That's because Ubisoft and EA sell their games like that. They want those games tied to their own platforms.

Again, it's the developers/publishers who decide how they sell their games and for what price. Steam does NOT buy licenses.

You have been linked the official documentation. Read it.

These are the things I have examined in depth for years so I know how it works simply in Israel there is no supervision of games like in Europe for example so they allow themselves to see us a dairy cow and increase the purchase cost up to 13 dollars! More! I work at Microsoft Israel and a gamer in my free time I am not one to talk in the air

What you think you've examined doesn't change the well documented facts that the game developers themselves have confirmed.

Wow, it's been a while since someone as ignorant as OP has complained here. I do start to feel like he's just trolling at this point though.

You do not have to comment here for a long time I have not seen a person pushed who does not understand anything of his life ur 1600 game ur i got 1000 if i pay like you pay i was 1600 to lol

[davidb11]

It's very obvious exchange rates, currency rates, and fees that are the issue here.
No one can complain about them, because every single country is different from every other country.

This is also set by the Developers of the games. Not Steam.
Steam can't even legally change prices without getting into so much trouble it's not even funny.

So, no lawsuit can stop prices being different. Don't even try. All courts would laugh you out, and every lawyer on Earth would die laughing at the absurdity of your case.
Including the most greedy ones.

Someone has been lying to you OP.

For starters Israel wasn't even a COUNTRY yet when the first computer was made. Youtube was created by 3 americans, in the USA, whatsapp was created by a Ukranian and an american, in the USA. Google, likewise was also not created in israel.

At least you are right about intel and iphone processors being assembled in Israel, but even then you have to get the parts delivered from Taiwan since they are the only ones who have developed and manufacture the parts.

No steam did not give you that answer as they do not set the pricing. Feel free to paste the exact message where you claim otherwise





Again talk to the developers. Steam is a storefront for the dev's. They don't control the pricing, the dev's do.

No different then if you went to sell an item on amazon, they aren't going to tell you what to sell it for. They might offer a SUGGESTED price based on other games, the strength of the currency, etc, but the dev's are the one who decide on the price.

They might not do regional pricing at all for some regions which can also cause games to be more expensive there without adjustment.

steam makes promotions for games 50% off deal and for me it is 10% off it is no longer related to developers its becuse i life in this country or pay from this area, you get 50% deals i get 10 ? really ?

No, Steam does not. Developers/Publishers are the ones who decide to partake in sales and THEY'RE the ones who decide what kind of discount they want to provide for their product.

they guy who made the wattsap was JEW man from ukraine google youtube is was JEWS AMERICAN like me lol and if israel not country ur not HUMAN ifhone chip made in qriat gat city in israel intael i 13/12 made in haifa city israel windwos 10 .11 made in microsoft israel lol in haifa city hahaha so ur a joker man ? right lol hahaha first pc in the world made in israel ♥♥♥♥ on key mad in israel waze progrem drive made by israel

The first computer was made in 1943 son, Israel was NOT a country at that time. you stated whatsapp was MADE in israel, not that one of its developers was jewish, which is an entirely different story. Waze didn't even get created until 2006, so I'm not sure what you think they had to do with the first PC

And if you want to goal shift to the first PC rather than the first computer that was STILL not made in Israel as that was the Altair in 1974, created entirely in the USA, and neither of the companies founders were Jewish
