The entire Steam catalog is now priced in Thai Baht for customers living in Thailand.

Okay, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN OPTION IF I WANT THAI BAHT OR USD. Do not force a customer to use local currecny. GIVE THE USER A CHOICE!!!! The changes you are making or not helping the community. Please give us the option to choose what curreny we would like to see. Thank you so much.

[Satoru]

I don't get a choice between USD or rubles or Euros. Why should you magically get such a choice?

[Satoru]

Again other countries dont magically get to choose whatever currency they want.

The tax information requirement on Steam is not releveant here.

Using local currencies gives users more options to pay for things on Steam than would be otherwise possible.

[TheGreatOne«]

So using local currencies gives the user more options to pay for things on steam? What ? that makes no sense. can you please clarify what you mean by "more options" ? I see ZERO benifit to changing the currency to THB. I am american, I read english. I dont read Thai. This is only benifits thai people that use steam in thailand. Forigners should be able to choose which currency they use to purchase items in the store. As long as STEAM gets their money, why do they care what form its in?

Which would be the majority of Steam users who you know live in Thailand right? Because... its Thailand

If that's the case what do you care how you GIVE it to them.

You're paying far CHEAPER prices now that the conversion is done. I'm not really seeing what all the whining is about.

The instructions in unverisal items normally comes in many different languages. THUS, why can't steam, "a universal product" have multiple forms of paying. This is an argument. Please open your mind.

Instruction manuals are not even a comparison point heer.

And again given that no other country is allowed to magically change their supported home currency, and that it makes zero sense to do so, why do you get special dispensation?

It doesn't harm anyone if people have a choice, why are you being such a ♥♥♥♥. If we want the option we can have it, personally I don't need it but he does and many other people likely do. It's like when people complain about having easier difficulty settings in games, just chill out

[Finaldeath]

I love how people spent years doing nothing but complaining about not being able to use their local currancy now when they finally can they do nothing but complain about it. Deal with it or gtfo.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Doing business on your local currency always comes at a price. Still, the number of local users that can now do business with Steam easily outnumbers the vocal minority complaining.

Yeah but having the option there can't hurt

[TheGreatOne«]

I don't see the big deal of why we can't hace the choice? If it was USD before, It wouldnt be that hard to switch it back and forth. Is it to much to ask for? And refering to the admins comment, "Users that can now do business with steam" Are you saying before thai customers could not use steam store? I dont get how this has increased steam sales just by changing the currency. All i ask is for a choice. Coke or pepsi, Pizza or tacos. dont force feed me some spicy thai food.

If you could have the choice as in 'there was no issue with you using USD' they wouldn't need to go to the time and trouble to set up all these other currencies for the countries. They would just leave everyone on what they were on.

The way it worked before was taht a dev woudl set a USD price and you'd simply get that. Now devs set a USD price and you get a converted price in Thai Baht. It doesn't work the other way because the conversion is not a strict currency conversion metric since most games in Baht are significatly less expensive than in USD

when using local currency gives you CHEAPER price then it was on US$, why would anyone prefer to pay on US$ still ?

it is not on any economical / financial reason

[TheGreatOne«]

My reason is I am american, My steam account was made in america. I understand USD better than thai baht. If the user wishes to use USD instead of local currency, Whats the big deal?
