Turkish Lira is live! - but important fixes needed

[c00L]

First of all, thank you Valve, for caring your customers in Turkey. We're very happy with our new currency. That will certainly boost the sales from here.

However, based my observations some big publisher catalogs or various games from Ubisoft, 2K Games, Capcom, Electronic Arts priced extremely absurd or not updated yet.

To be honest we couldn't understand difference between International Credit Cards and National Credit Cards or Online Banking. We were easily paid our previous purchases simply selecting Visa or MasterCard. These are Banks[i.imgur.com] which uses 3rd party website BoaCompra (anyone heard before?), they're not Payment Methods.

Most importantly, we're looking forward to seeing PayPal option back. Also Cash Transfer options like PayPal Nakit (prepaid card) and PaySafeCard would be useful. And of course necessary Mobile Payments - Avea & Vodafone cellulars.

Steam is important for us, maybe it's our backyard. We all here and loud. Because we want to make our backyard as better as possible.

UPDATE #1 (23-Oct)
After Ubisoft[i.imgur.com], 2K Games[i.imgur.com] started inconceivable pricing as well.

October, 21 - when Turkish Lira currency live: $49.99 -> 75 TL
Currently - after 2K's Guinness record update: $49.99 -> 170 TL

UPDATE #2 (24-Oct)
As we all see and witness, Steam did and still doing its best for Turkey. However when we talking about pricing titles, they can NOT call final decision. That's always up to publishers.

Please, keep the topic English and serious. Also consider all other issues mentioned above.

UPDATE #3 (25-Oct)
PaySafeCard cash transfer option now available for purchases made in Turkey!

civilization beyond earth was at a sensible ~$35 two days ago; now it's fkin $120.

I'm totally sure that this is caused by the ARAL Games, the only ones selling at retail.
I should note that they copied some GOG games without permission, boxed them and sold them at full RRP some years ago. So it's %100 true that they are "legit" scammers.

"Ey ARAL, sana bir kuruş vereceğime gider takas ederim; olmadı hiç almam."

They will just fix(drop) the prices when they realize how many units they have sold so far.

Borderlands one of the game that i played A LOT and enjoyed A LOT. I have busy lifetime, beacuse of that i didn't afford to buy Pre-Squel. So, ı wait to buy another time ( when there is good discount ). But that company make a dickish move and give 75$ price tag to Turkey. 2K show Turkey how greedy they are. This day i will promise, i will never buy any 2K titles nor play it . I never imagined that my favorite company would do such a thing to our region.

Believe me this is nothing about gabe newell. Steam recommend the publisher 1$ = 1.5 TL But all publishers have right to use any price they want.

Its ridiculous , i am not surprised about ubisoft, but 2k is unexpected. people would and probably will pirate it instead of paying quartr of their paycheck for a single game. I hope other companies won't make the same treatment for tr

Hello Mehmetunlust,

Thank you for contacting 2K Support.

Unfortunately I am not able to help you with this issue. Once the game is given to Steam, we have no control over the price.
I made a little research and I see that prices of other games were also increased.
If you would like to know the reason behind the price increase in your country, please contact Steam support.

Best regards,

Galina S.

Guys, please don't turn this into something pointless. It's not about 2 or 3 publishers' price policy. We should be happy to have those other games at affordable prices. 2k, Ubisoft etc. games are expensive? So be it if they don't want their games bought by us then fine as long as the rest of the prices stay the way they are, I don't mind.

We all know that Ubisoft always keep their games expensive on Steam. They just want gamers to use their platform instead and buyers occasionally can get pretty good discounts on Uplay. Well, then what about 2K and some others? Now that's where all problems start. I don't know the real reason behind this, I don't want to blame anyone but if the other publishers go in that direction, now that would be damaging.

I hope it'll be all sorted out somehow.

I don't think support dept. can have any kind of effect in company politics.

Beyler cidden saçmalamayın. Burada adamakıllı bir itiraz yapmaya çalışıyoruz; yok steam'e sövmeler yok torrent kullanıcam'lar.

ingilizce de yazdım ama türkçe de yazayım:
iki gün önce 2k oyunları gayet mantıklı seviyedeydi; peki ne oldu?
benim tahminim; bu oyunları aşırı saçma fiyatlara satan aral, 2k'ya ulaştı; dedi ki biz 200 küsür liraya satıyoruz, türk insanı da çok rahat alıyor.

bunu duyan 2k da mantıklı gelebilecek bir iş stratejisi olarak fiyatları artırdı.

burada yapılması gereken sağa sola küfür etmek, torrent kullanacağım diye tehdit etmek değil; publisher'lara doğruları göstermek
