Price changes USD - PLN

[Holo]

So I've been going through some of the games on Steam to see if the currency change had any impact on prices (which in theory it shouldn't cuz Europe is in the same "region" and people would be able to buy keys from online sites/create dummy accounts in different countries/ask friends from different countries to get their games cheaper)

I used USD as a base price

The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt
Current base price 39,99 USD - 144,76 PLN
Current price in PLN - 99,99 PLN
Around 31% cheaper

Football Manager 2018
Current base price 49,99 USD - 180,96 PLN
Current price in PLN - 235,99 PLN
Around 30.5% more expensive

Call of Duty: WWII
Current base price ‎59,99 USD - 217 PLN
Current price in PLN - 212 PLN
Around 2.3% cheaper

Playerunknown's Battlegrounds
Current base price 29,99 USD - 108,56 PLN
Current price in PLN - 72,99 PLN
Around 32.7% cheaper

Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization Deluxe Edition
Current base price 49,99 USD - 180,96 PLN
Current price in PLN - 159,90 PLN
Around 11.6% cheaper

Tom Clancy’s The Division
Current base price 49,99 USD - 180,96 PLN
Current price in PLN - 199,90 PLN
Around 10.4% more expensive

Factorio
Current base price 20 USD - 72,39 PLN
Current price in PLN - 50 PLN
Around 30,9% cheaper


I also found some random indie games for 3 dollars that now cost 900 PLN (250USD) and games that we can't even buy cuz there's no buy button (For example we can't buy ANY games from Rockstar, That includes stuff like GTA series, Max Payne series)

Broken? Good or bad? Kinda curious as to what people think about it.

It's a mess and Valve dropped a ball here. Different regional prices are to be expected, but the fact that like half the games, including from giant publishers like Rockstar, don't have new prices for new currencies shows how Valve doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥.

Wrong. It means the developer/publisher doesn't care enough about said region to bother giving it a price. Valve doesn't set developers/publishers prices for them, so it is Rockstar that haven't bothered setting a price for that currency to continue making it available there after the change.

Activision or Rockstar did not added prices

Strange is that game that all ware same price are now diffrent

all of those ware 59,99 euro:
Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™ now 214,99 PLN 1 euro = 3,58 PLN
Nier Automata now 214,99 PLN 1 euro = 3,58 PLN
BERSERK and the Band of the Hawk now 214,99 PLN 1 euro = 3,58 PLN
Assassin's Creed® Origins now 249,90 PLN 1 euro = 4,16 PLN
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus now 259,99 PLN 1 euro = 4,33 PLN (actually higher than current price of euro 1 = 4,23 PLN)

Some comapnies like Activision, Konami or Rockstar did not gave their prices yet.

Problem is that Valve should have give solid number for every company not let them decide whatever they wanna, now we have chaos in prices.

So next Black Friday or sale we're not gonna be able to buy the titles that have no price set by devs? Wonderful.

Very well.

Guys I just saw that you now have one of the highest prices in the world for AC: Origins at $70.
Valve ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up dramatically.
We, your Eastern neighbours, also now have higher prices than filthy rich Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia.

Funny is that you can buy wolfenstein 2 new colossus phisical in retail store for 180 PLN and digital on steam is 260 PLN. AC origins in retail is 200 PLN vs 250 steam Price... thats screwed.

[Mivo]

You'd need to use the Euro prices as a base because of VAT. The USD price doesn't include VAT (19-25%).

Dude its matter od Days... Poland is not only country with this problem. Publishers nad devs just did not added prices on time

[OkweL]

Lamers trying to get something cheaper while waiting for new currency now are crying because they will have to pay more than before adding PLN. Oh, how sad....

Do we have blockade to give gifts to people who don't live in Poland?

the "blockade" is more then 10% price difference. that is a general restriction for gifting, doesn't have much to do with the country. depends on how each dev/pub set their pricing for their products.
