Add Sri lankan Rs as a currency to the steam store

[Uda...Mad]

From my understanding sri lanka is one of the countrys that steam doesn't use regional pricing so we are left to buy games using the USD (1Rs-0.0065USD) So the games are quite expensive .In the other hand the indian Rs is already in the steam store(1 Indian RS = 2.38 Sri lankan RS) so either let us use the Indian Rs as the Default currency for the steam store or add the Sri lankan RS into the steam store .

its to volatile and has been on a steady decline since early Septempber of last year. i dont see valve wanting to add that currency to steam anytime soon.

yea but steam could just let us use the indian Rs not USD until they add the sri lankan currency into the steam store. I mean from the 5 games i bought i would have been able to buy the same games 20 times over if i was using the IND currency and sri lankas exchange rate is lower than indias like. plz someone do something about this

Ya agreed

because sri lanka is not a part of india.

yea but sri lanka is not a part of USA so why are we left to use the USD

USD is the default currency for all steam stores that dont have their own currency.

i mean they should add the sri lankan Rs into the store but that will take years to happen .im just suggesting that they let us use the Indian Rs for the steam store cause the exchange rates are quite similar unlike the USD .......( 1 IND = 2 LKR ) .. ( 1USD = 153LKR )


LKR - Sri lankan Rs
IND -Indian Rs
USD - US dollar

when sri lanka is a part of india then that will happen.

Its 2021 and still nothing has changed, Steam please region price all the same, 50/50 of the games are regional prices and still expensive compared to Indian market.
Origin Store already has Sri Lankan prices making its games cheaper to purchase.

Doesn't look like it this year...

Steam isn't the one that is offering regional pricing.

Game dev/companies are whom you should be targeting.
