Again, I know that I can open a browser window for cc=us, but I wanted to know if they ever addressed the issue for their own client - especially since they seem to be forcing it on the users.
It doesn't make sense if I have a US account with US payment methods that I have to see prices in another country just because I'm living there.
It seems counterintuitive to display prices in yen when my wallet is in dollars and without a setting to toggle it.
I wonder if you complete the checkout if it will show you dollars or yen..
I'm really annoyed with this. I can't use my credit card whatsoever. Next thing you know they'll be charging 8000 yen for games like the do at the brick and mortar shops here.
Unbelievable, Gabe....
This is basically the same for anyone in a region other than their normal one. Just replace countries, currencies, etc., as appropriate.
That being said, I don't think you understand the situation. You can't use the web browser trick anymore.
The point is that holders of US credit cards should be able to use those cards and pay for products in that currency. Same should apply for a person holding a Japanese credit card shopping from the States. This isn't about preferential treatment.
Have you contacted Steam support? When you go through the check out process, they even tell you to do so if you are not in your normal country. Look for the following:
I verify that I live in Japan
If this is not correct, please contact Steam Support
As it is, holders of a specific credit card should not immediately expect to pay in their own currency. That's not how credit cards work. You pay in the currency the store charges you in, and if needed, your credit card company will convert that to your own currency (and possibly charge a small fee for doing so).
Well if it's happening to you and you're not in Japan, then you know. Do the sane thing. Contact support. Of course, I wouldn't tell them about the VPN. They don't like that. They will likely disable your account if you tell them that.
