We don't want to ruin the festive mood but we wanted to inform you that there are price changes coming that will affect customers in certain countries. These will take effect [u][b]after our Steam winter sale ends on 4th January[/b][/u].
A few months ago Valve (Steam) changed [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/3314110913449340511][u][b]their recommended regional pricing model[/b][/u][/url] related to the base price in dollars. This reflects changes in exchange rates over the last few years.
It is not a sudden decision by Valve but one that has been on the cards for some time now.
To be perfectly clear, we have not changed the original price (nominated in US dollars)!
The changes will only affect currencies where the price is derived from the dollar exchange rate. Listed in descending order below are the currencies with the highest price increase (the difference between the original and new price).- Argentine Peso
- Turkish Lira
- Russian Rubles
- Ukrainian Hryvnia
- Hong Kong Dollar
- Brazilian Reals
- Norwegian Krone
- Polish zloty
- New Zealand Dollar
- Taiwanese Dollar
- Japanese Yen
- Chinese Yuan
- Swiss Francs
