whats ur opinion on this?
for me,its really bad.Trading websites or other websites about steam that are still using USD as currency gets really confusing.

...From what I've seen on the currently accepted payments,
Paypal is NOWHERE to be seen.

Also its mentioned that if a game doesn't accept ringgit, we can't buy it. Yep, more consensus to buy my games elsewhere (GMG, Humble Store, etc).

No, just no. I don't want to register because Steam forces me to.
And you actually checked through all the thousands of games listed on Steam in the span of a few minutes?

Note YOU asserted there was an issue. If you can show one then do so. I did a look through the top 100 games and saw no problems.

@Satoru
I don't trust that site. I especially don't like the part where I have buy Steam currency that is obviously higher cost in the long run instead of buying directly.
So...Dark Souls 1 is not part of top 100 games? Well I guess its an old game...
Also still cannot buy Final Fantasy 3.

Wow, this just means that if we want to buy games higher than 50USD, we can't!
I usually like buying games lower than that amount but people who want to buy the latest games wouldn't have that option!

I pre-order Borderlands: Pre-Sequel for RM161 in GMG, around 44 dollars.

THEN Borderlands: Pre-Sequel in Steam is RM100 in 59.99$? WHAT THE HECK?

Just got converted here in PH as well, everything seems cheaper.

Bucking♞Horse Sep 16, 2014 @ 10:47pm

I dont get it, Unity and FC4 is RM200, which is around 60$.

But Borderlands: Pre-Sequel is 60$ but cost only RM100, which is 31$, THE EFF?

Certain devs have priced their games such that thee's little price differential between US and the new SEA regions. Others have not made such changes.
