“The problem lies in the data Valve uses to make these suggestions.” According to the YouTuber, Valve hasn’t updated its conversion rates since 2022, when it first introduced the regional pricing system. At that point in time, “the Polish currency was near its weakest” – but Steam is still “using this weak old rate” from three years ago.
I think what is talked about is coutries like Poland where the currency is weaker than the $ but they still cave to pay more.
Having to pay less when earning less is good but paying more while earning less is bad.
And the problem with at least poland exists now for a few years
Edit: i should have first read the article. And ut was indeed about poland where they pay (converted) like 100 for a 70$ game while earning less
Steam pushing Poland towards the eurozone, wasn’t expecting that one tbh
we still wouldn’t get paid more if we converted to Euros, we’d just be paid in smaller looking numbers
Not immediately, anyway.
