We want Turkish Lira back!

As Turkish players, we protest this decision. We will not buy games from this platform until this wrong decision is reversed.
Let me explain the situation to the players who ask what's going on. Steam removed our currency and made it only dollars. Due to the exchange rate difference, even the worst game is now worth a fortune. Imagine that the game you bought for 50 dollar is worth 5000 dollars. Would you buy it?

With how little your money is worth, not buying anything doesn't make as big a difference as you want to believe.

You're not getting it back.

Many developers have not set their regional prices yet, so it defaults to the US, USD prices. I suggest contacting the developer of a game you are interested in and reminding them to set a new regional price for their game(s).

When your weak economy and crappy currency become everyone else's problem. You should buy on par with everyone else or go protest your government, it's the least of your problems if your economy is so weak that you can't buy video games let alone other much important stuff.

This is your government's fault, not Steam's.

As Turkish players, you should protest the root cause of this debacle instead of symptomps. Pro tip: addressing the root cause works better, than focusing on treating symptoms.

Yes.

Why don't you leave sarcasm far from this thread? Nobody cares

That is no sarcasm. Sorry you don't have the finance.

[Pure Obsessional]

You should want your "valuable" Turkish lira (and a stable economy) back, and it's not Steam to fix that problem, if you know what I mean.

Go ask some "whales" of F2P games and you'll hear far higher numbers, often from people who can't really afford that.

Problem is, protesting the Turkish government, and especially a certain Erdogan, can get you jailed or killed. Fun, innit? So they come here instead.

Turkey still had elections & unlike Russia, the opposition wasn't killed. Looks like there would be a chance if people wanted.

Your country is poor because your people allow your government to keep you that way. Fix that problem instead of crying about luxuries like video games and the luxuries will come later.

Alternatively you can always improve your life by moving and getting a job that pays real money.
