What part of $1.99 not being the same as $2, sleazy?

because everything on steam is .99 so if you just want to spend lets say 30 dollars to get all of the backgrounds you cant buy a game for 29.99 you have to find one that is over 30 meaning you have to spend more money for a 1 cent difference

It's the same everywhere in online purchase.

Not just online, but just about everywhere.

Bonus points for gas stations that add 9/10ths of a cent. :DYNO:

Yes its rounded off to $2.00 in Australia
1.33 becomes 1.35
2.47 become 2.50
2 cents coins were withdrawn from circulation in 1992 (along with the one-cent piece).

then just buy things so you get to a total of 30 , i do it all the time with leftover paysafecard funds , look for a game where i have both steam and paysafe at exactly 0 , or maybe get 35 -40 $ instead

Well since Steam is not an Australian company operating out of Australia, this has zero bearing on it.

1.99 does not in any way equal 2.00, in the USA, or basically anywhere else that has denominations less than 1 whole dollar. Pennies have been *tried* to be gotten rid of here in the States, but... nope. There are just too many of them, and with our extremely flexible localized taxation, everyone would just get angry that they'd all round UP. Never down, god forbid.

It would only be rounded off if you were paying in cash though, which isn't possible on an online store anyway. Electronic payments don't have to do any rounding, because there's no need to.

Thats how sales works. It's been a common pricing method for decades. Long before Steam. At a psychological level it's partly because at first glance people see it as less than x amount. Examples

That TV is less than £500 at only £499
That Freezer is less than £300 at only £299
That washing machine is less than £400 at only £399
That car is less than £10,000 and only £9,999

It's a marketing strategy and always will be. Look on Amazon or other retailers that do free delivery if you spend £x or more. Offers often lower prices just below that bracket so people either pay for delivery or more buy something else to get the free delivery.

Wouldn't 2.47 get rounded down to 2.45? In any case.. transactions online or any electronic purchase doesn't round.. only cash works that way since 5c is our lowest currency

Online transactions are disregardrd to round-offs but cash in hand, it does since there isn't any legal tender to fill the void.
