Steam currency Dollar to Mexico Peso is wrong

[Manuel46]

I want to buy Arma 3 but is too expensive because the game costs is 50dll for US and 750 Mx pesos so 750/50= 15MxPesos/US dollar. Real currency is 1 US dollar = 13,4998 MX Pesos.

game prices are not based on currency conversions

Are you sure you got everything right? I'm in the U.S. and it is $59.95. According to enhanced Steam, it is Mex$ 749.99/USD $55.38.

49.99$ usd = 680 mxn/mexican pesos
59.99$ usd = 816 mxn

edit: try a calculator ;) http://www.x-rates.com/calculator/?from=USD&to=MXN&amount=59.99

gg con esas conversiondes de 1dlls = 15 pesos, mejor cambio mi dinero a dollares y me compro una tarjeta prepagada, por donde quiera roban

Ya, this user was definitely confused. Because it's cheaper in Mex$ than in is in USD. The game is 59.99 USD, not 50 USD.

So 750/60 = 12.5 Peso per USD. So you are getting a better deal than current exchange rates.

But that is all pointless, because the prices are not set by currency exchange rates, but by the Publishers choosing a price to sell in that region.

according to my investigatios, some games get a 9 peso/dollar and others 12 peso/dollar. But prices are fixed not to exchange rate but to something else, advanced warfare (and the newer games) costs 60 dollar, in mexican steam is 999, takes 16 peso/ dollar, even more expensive than the current rate.

publisher/dev set regional prices like they want it.
