VALVE UPDATED STEAM'S REGIONAL PRICINGDID YOU GET FUCKED OR NOT, /v/?
>CAD Guess I won't be buying games for a while.
How is it fucking fair that other countries pay less than me?If I pay 60 bucks you should pay 60 bucks too you fuckers.Living in a shithole shpuld not grant you discount priviliges. Can't pay for it? Don't buy it.
>>735923139I don't understand how to read this table.
>>735923139Polandbros.... we fucking won
>>735923275The problem is that 60 bucks is like half of these people's monthly wage. If you charge 60 bucks no one buys the game. Charging less is more profitable because more people buy the game.
>>735923275Are you poor? You're poor. First world should demonstrate their wealth like they do in /v/ threads.
>>735923275I'm perfectly willing to pay 60 of my national currency for gaymes gringoexcept no the sloppa isn't even worth three bags of cheetos
>>735923329The USD is the baseline. Look at the last two columns. If it's negative you pay less than Americans. If it's positive you pay more.
>>735923460>>735923373Note that some devs will probably use the multi variable conversion so compare that with the old price too
>>735923460>If it's negative you pay less than AmericansAre you sure? Because it's very surprising that bongs and euros are paying less.
>>735923572Devs will use whichever is higher
>>735923460I thought it's the oppositeNo way swiss pay less than americans
>>735923275Because the economic reality, including wages, is different in other countries than in yoursretard
>>735923139>they were fucking us so hard with AUD already that it's 0.0% differenceI'm amazed they didn't crank it up by another 35% just to spite us.
>>735923612So yeah the multivariable shit because devs are kikesWe should.be fucking lucky they even listen to valve at allMost AAA companies outright ignore their regional pricing recs
>>735923710>So yeah the multivariable shit because devs are kikesNo it'll be straight exchange rate because that makes the prices higher.
>>735923759Exchange is retarded because it literally does not reflect any market reality
>>735923695Gaben hates Australia.
>>735923275I guess you must be one of those people that bosses love to hire
>>735923139The only games on steam I buy are ones that don't make sense to pirateso I don't care about this shitI just pirate 99% of games anyway because fuck any developer who uses steam
>>735923275>Can't pay for it? Don't buy it.Great business you're running there.Do you think devs and publishers would rather sell for say, $40 and still get something out of it, or sell at $60 and get $0 from no-sales?
>>735923139Thanks sincerely for this interesting thread op
>>735923139doesnt matter. i havent bought a triple A game in a very long time
>>735923139isn't this chart merely suggestive since publishers set their own prices anyway?
>>735926212Yeah it's not enforced. They now suggest 3 methods for devs. Pretty based. Maybe we'll go back to the good old days. Not all devs are faggots.
>>735923460what if theres a positive one and a negative one?
>>735923275Are you mad that you don't make the rules?
>>735923460no fucking way I'll believe kikes have to pay more than humans
>>735926484What is this commie gobbledegook
>>735923460Still don't get it
>>735923139Imagine being so poor you care about whatever the fuck this is lol
>>735923460my last 2 columns say pay way more and pay way less, how is that useful?
Unless you pay $80+ on a $70 title lower your tone when speaking to me.
>>735923275Because some devs want some of the money than none of the money. It's not like its mandatory to use regional pricing. Squeenix for example doesn't care for it.
>>735923659and? it isn't fair to the devs if they only get paid in the equivalent to 1 usd for the purchase of their game just because some thirdies use monopoly money
>>735929019>jews have to pay more than everyone elseWhy is gabe so antisemitic?
>>735929296Paying for games is goy behavior and is punished.
>>735923275Life isn't fair. Suck it up fucker, lol.
>>735923572>>735923612I was looking through it earlier this morning, using purchasing power conversion seems almost unusable for lower cost games (mostly $5 and under but I think you'd still have issues for $10). If the price is below $.49 in USD the package will be removed from purchase for that country. This includes sales and bundles and if a single title in a bundle goes below $.49 then the whole bundle is unavailable.Exchange-rate conversion is a meme that makes no sense, so most will likely do multi-variable conversion and then manually edit prices for markets that are more important to them
>>735923810Don't we all?
>>735923139This is just a guideline and not compulsory to follow. Doesn't really matter in the end because game publisher will ignore it and just price games at whatever the fuck they want.
>>735923139Eurochads can't stop winning, thank you Trump!Euro global reserve currency by 2030! Get used to it, amerifats!
>>735927486take a wild guess what the dev will do sooner, go higher or lower?
>NZ paying even more in ERCOMotherfuckers
>>735929703>forces steam to allow refundssay thank you ;)
>>735923460>look at the last two colomnsOne is positive and one is negative so what the fuck does that mean?
>>735929189>i-it's not fair!!!!they should be glad to be paid at all lol
>>735923275Since OP is a retarded dickless tranny that will never reproduce, I will explain what this actually means. Valve used to have one recommended regional pricing number based on convertion rate, purchasing power and GDP. Now they split the recommendation into 3 numbers>convertion rate - simple rate based on currency exchange>Actual purchasing power - how much people earn compared to other countries and how much they could spend in reality>Multicurrency convertion - A median of all currency convertionsThe last one comes for a simple reason - US dollar is collapsing while China is on the rise and, more people trade in yuan. There are also more Chinese users on steam than ever. Devs could follow these recommendation or simply ignore them and set their own numbers. It's a simple recommendation because no indie dev has time to research all the markets. Valve also recommends to charge USA citizens triple because they'll soon go die for Israel in Iran war, so might as well get from them what you can right now. In other words, USA empire is collapsing and you voted for this.
>>735923139>Norwegian Crown is there>Swedish Crown is notI'm sorry what? Actually why are we lumped up into the euro while these nobody Norwegians get their own currency on the store?
>>735923139>Shitzil still keeps getting fuckedThis brings me joy
>>735929019Israel's strongest soldier.
>>735935597norway has oil richesswedistan has raped bitches
>>735923139Thai baht got fucked pretty hard.
>>735923139>Israeli New ShekelIsn't that the primary currency of /v/?
>>735929019>PolandI do, and that's probably on the shittiest purchasing power out of those who do.
>>735935597Because Sweden is an outlier non€ EU country that would be a hassle to treat as its own thing, and Norway is a nonEU country like any other on the list.
>be spic>pay more than burgersthat does it, GOG is actually now cheaper for me
>>735923139>>735926484Ultimately the only column that will matter will be the multivariable. No publisher is going to say no when asked "do you want more free money from all European purchases with no catch"
>>735940225The catch is fewer sales.
>>735940221GOG is cheaper for everyone. Their (few) games are free.
>>735935479>A median of all currency convertionsThat doesn't seem to be it based on the table.
>>735923139The most impressive thing is how literally everywhere but New Zealand has less effective purchasing power than numbers would indicate. Sometimes by truly insane amounts. lmao that pajeets have nearly 62% less purchasing power than direct conversion.
>>735923139>USD didn't changeYup, he earned my vote again
>>735923904That's fine, thing is though I can't pirate, I'm White.I know... I know...I'm sorry.But I just can't pirate, I'm White.
>>735923275$60 != €60 retard
>>735940859I think you're misunderstanding the chart.You've got the old price, the new price if they only considered exchange rates, the new price if they only considered purchasing power, and the new price if they considered both.The percentages a the end are just old price vs new price for the two individual categories.There are exactly two currencies were purchasing power is higher than exchange rate would indicate, and it's the Swiss Franc and the Shekel.Which makes sense for the Shekel (Gaza has done a number on their currency, but little to their purchasing power), but the Swiss Franc is absurd. That currency is insanely overvalued (as usual in times of geopolitical instability).
>>735923275>How is it fucking fair that other countries pay less than me?publishers have decided it's more profitable to charge browns less than have them pirate outright>If I pay 60 bucks you should pay 60 bucks too you fuckersif thirdies earn paid $8k/yr then you should too. it's only fair right?
>>735923373The problem with charging less in countries with smaller wages is that people will just use vpns and make steam accounts in less well-off countries to get much better deals on games rather than pay full price in their own country.
>>735942324>the new price if they considered both.It's not just that. It also includes current prices. Multivariate is often higher than both currency and purchasing power options if those were lowered from the current.
>>735923139>prices go up 33-50% in cis, sasia, mena and latamThirdies gonna freak
>>735942442Thanks, I didn't catch that.
>>735942465Dumbass
>>735942442There has to be something else at play too. Look at GB Pounds. It's Multi-Variable is higher than old, currency and purchasing power.
>>735923139They're not default prices, just guidelines. Activison still does 1:1 conversion from USD to EUR.
>>735939802Nah it's goybucks
>>735923139So, when will they actually introduce this?
>>735942645Maybe it inclues GNOCO (Gabe Newell's Opnion adjusted conversion)
>>735942434they closed that hole a long time ago. you need a local payment method to benefit from regional pricing
>>735942826>Local payment methodSuch as visa and Mastercard? Which are casually available in dozens of countries
>>735942998good luck getting a local card in a foreign countrybtw they also check your IP and ban VPNs, and the store location change has a long grace period
>>735923275Because your minimum wage is higher than in 3rd world countries, you might be able to buy a 60 dlls game with 2 days of salary however someone in a 3rd world country would need 2 weeks of salary to buy a 60 dlls game so prices are adjusted to make for up for this
>>735943462last I saw cars don't have regional pricing>someone in a 3rd world country would need 2 weeks of salary to buy a 60 dlls gamesounds like a skill issue
>>735923373Just stop pretending that 50-80$ games were a rational choice rather than a load of bullshit price fixing from publishers like EA trying to normalize prices for their games across the board and go back to games for 20$ or less.>>735943462So just don't care about those people. They can either pirate or wait for a sale if they're just going to spend less anyway.Just adjust what games are marketed towards those people and they will want them.
>>735923275>60 bucks You do live in a shithole then kek
>>735923373>Aquajeet
>>735945258>bullshit price fixing from publishers like EASay what you want about their games, but EA is actually extremely reasonable when it comes to prices in other regions. And they actually pull good sales, where the games get very cheap, like it's a Steam sale from 2012
>>735944827>last I saw cars don't have regional pricingthats actually a pretty funny thing to say
>Dollar is strong and countrys economy is kinda shit>Games are expensive>Dollar is now in the absolute shitter, country economy improved, exchange rate hitting levels not seen for decades>steam pricing keeps droppingHow does this makes sense
>>735945994You elected a pedo into office Again
>>735946030Im not american you dumb nigger did you even read the post
>>735946095/pol/acks need to talk about politics so they can pass time while their curry cooks.
>>735923275Cry, white demon.
SEAbros... we can afford games...
>>735923139All my prices are in $, but most are adjusted to local purchase power. Asian companies often disregard it completely or take too long to update and set global prices. Crimson Desert is 70$ for example, while Forza 6 is $48.99
>>735923139This is only suggested regional pricing no? The publisher still has final say on the price if I'm not mistaken.The vast majority of publishers will keep the 1$=1€ thing.
>All those seething brown thirdie responsesI can't wait until all those poor shitholes slide into autocracy far enough that their leading baboons cut their internet.
>>735923139I doubt anything will change for games already released.I'm waiting to be proven wrong.
>>735923139>norwegian krone>exchange rate is cheaper than old price>purchasing power is even more cheaper>so according to multivariable they should pay even more??Not like it affects me, I buy steam keys since steam sales suck ass
>>735942434heh
>>735923275Digital goods have no copy cost, so they don't care if you sold 5 for $10 each or 10 for $5. If a brit will buy for 10 bucks but a brazilian can only afford it for 5, you should sell it to both at those prices and pocket the $15.
>>735923139Stupid fucking table for morons. Just use the official one.https://partner.steamgames.com/pricing/explorer
>>735929189>it isn't fair to the devsWhy are you speaking for them? Besides, in the vast majority of cases, it’s not the developers who set the prices, but rather their superiors or the publishers

>>735923275>price your game at $60 for poor regions - poor people can't afford it, you make zero profit from them>price your game at $20 for poor regions - poor people can afford it, you make some profit from themIt's that simple.
>>735948092Xd
>>735923139HELL YEAH
>>735923275>How is it fucking fair that other countries pay less than me?It's not fair, it just makes publishers more money because it brings more customers that way.
>>735923139>At the top of the listThey know who's the most important.
>>735948092You are already trans
>>735923139Only thirdies give a fuck.>oh no the game I'll put at least 6 hours into is now 15% more expensiveWow, what a life changing event
>>735923275ITT: thirdies chimping out over a normal, rational opinion
>>735923275You pay 60 bucks, I pay 80 bucks. How is that fair? You should pay 80 as well.
>>735923213Why? The recommended one (multi-factor) is 20 cents lower than the old price.
>>735950747The default is exchange rate not multifactor, 99% of devs will just hit exchange rate.
>>735948972>hell yeah I only have to pay slightly more than twice the purchasing power instead of almost thrice like before
>>735923139>paying for gamesheh'd
>>735950813Better than nothing, I guess.
>>735923346Co oznacza obrazek? Ja nie umiem w cyferki. Jeżeli gierka kosztowała 8.99 to teraz kosztuje 7.15?
>>735947259thank you. The official link is way easier to understand. And the OP forgot to add multi-variable conversion difference percentage, AMATEUR!. Now, are devs going to use the multi-variable price or the purchasing power price?????
>>735951008>gra kosztuje 8.99>gdybyś ją kupił w amerykanśkim steamie i bank przeliczył by USD na PLN kosztowałaby 7.15>gdybyś mógł ją kupić za tyle samo godzin pracy co amerykanin (siła nabywcza) kosztowałaby 3.75>według Valve powinna teraz kosztować 8.35Najważniejsze z tej tabelki jest to że nawet według nowego przelicznika gry są nadal kurwa droższe w polskim sklepie niż byłoby kupienie jej z amerykańskiego po zmianie regionu, więc nie wiem co anon wygrał poza pałą z matmyTeoretycznie wydawca sam ustawia cene więc mogą ustawić oficjalną przeliczke albo nawet według siły nabywczej, ale jestem prawie pewien że te sugestie juz wcześniej Valve oferował a wszyscy wydawcy i tak dają nowe gry za 300zł bo najdroższa cena z oferowanych>TL;DRJesteś debilem jesli kupujesz gry i jeszcze większym debilem jeśli kupujesz ze sztim zamiast z kluczy

>>735923139I don't get it. How do I into reading this? What do the columns even mean?
>>735923139fuck Valve and their renting games platform
>>735923460Nope. I still don't get it. The last two columns are wildly different between each other.What do these numbers mean

>>735923139These are just guidelines and everyone will keep charging whatever price they can get away withValve isn't actually in control of what things on the store cost
regional pricing is why I stopped buying full price games at all, when someone in some shithole SEAmonkey country can pay not even 10% of what I do for the same game, why on earth would I ever pay more than a forgettable few pennies for it? They clearly don't value their game because they're charging that little for it lmaothis shit is exactly why keysites started showing up.
>>735923139>the amount of people ITT that don't understand what any of this means in reality I keep forgetting this place is full of Third Worlders and Americans
>>735952183>These are just guidelinesOne of those is the official exchange rate between currencies. No publisher is going to spend time figuring out what price the game should be in Bugunda, they'll either use the official exchange rate or Valve's proposed exchange rate, so these do impact the prices>But I don't live in any of these countriesThen why are you in the thread? But even so, these also impact the pricing of keys on third party resellers so it's still relevant
>>735923373>Charging less is more profitable because more people buy the game.Yeah. I have seen an Argentina argued against regional pricing precisely because of this. The core of the argument is that affordable games just feed into Steam profits, meaning the "capitalist pigs" win>He is a rich military contractor who frequently games on Steam and goes on expensive foreign tour btwFirst time meeting an Argentinan. Didn't know they were so communistic
>>735952310Argentina was utterly raped by people region hopping and abusing their regional prices so he won in the end
>>735923139>1. Old Price (1,300)>This was the original price in the local currency before any adjustments or new regional pricing strategies were applied.>2. Exchange-rate conversion only (1,799)>This column shows what the price would be if you simply converted a base currency (like USD) directly into Chilean Pesos using the current market exchange rate. It doesn't account for local wages or the economy—just the raw math of the currency market.>3. Purchasing power conversion only (819)>This is a "Big Mac Index" style calculation. It reflects Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). Since money often goes further in Chile than in the US or UK, this column suggests that to make the product feel "equally affordable" to a Chilean as it does to an American, the price should actually be much lower (819 CLP).>4. Multi-variable conversion (1,499)>This is likely the "final" recommended price. It represents a compromise between the high exchange-rate price (1,799) and the low purchasing-power price (819). It aims to be profitable for the company while remaining accessible to the local market.>The "Difference" Columns>These columns show the percentage change between the Old Price and the new calculated models:>ERCO Difference Percentage (38.38%): This shows that if the company switched from the Old Price (1,300) to the pure Exchange-rate price (1,799), the cost for the Chilean user would jump up by 38.38%.>PPCO Difference Percentage (-37.00%): This shows that if the company switched from the Old Price (1,300) to the Purchasing Power price (819), the cost for the user would drop by 37.00%.At last I understand. I ain't paying 30% for videogames tho, so get fucked Valve. I'm out of this gay industry. Time to invest in myself and not videogames.
>>735923139>I live in a civilized country and not in a shithole like america or brasil.Feels good man.
>>735923460Looks like yuroChads won biggly.
>>735952371It just means the capitalist pigs are profitable which is the exact opposite of what he wants anon
>>735923594Bother are stronger currencies than USD. Have been for as long as I can remember. And bongs always had to pay "less" thanks to that.
>>735923275The funny thing is, at the end of the day I'm richer than you. Your six figures means nothing if you spend ten times (if not more) more on cost of living. Even if you earn twice as much as me, you still sleep in a car, while I own a house.But I guess that 60$ game is still less of a problem for you, relatively!
>>735932834lower
>>735952748You need to consider what a total disaster communities in poor countries are.I make only 15k a year, which probably puts me well below the poverty line in the US. But I have access to fresh, quality food, I eat top quality meat every day, I have a relatively large house in good condition and clean, I’m healthy, I have a home gym, etc.However, about 5 years ago, I was walking home and I was attacked by two crack addicts. I started fighting them until one pulled out a gun. I had to give him my cell phone, and he ran off afterward...That’s when you realize there’s no way to be "rich" in third-world countries, unless you’re a billionaire and can live in isolation in a place surrounded by surveillance and military security.

>>735953981They're offering devs multiple choices for price adjusting now, instead of just "you can charge the same price everywhere" (which would be good) or "you can price according to currency value" (stupid), now they have one to scale to purchasing power as well, which would hopefully make it more in line with one another based on currency value instead of indonesia always getting everything for like -99% of usd/gbp/euro.
>>735923139>britcuck coins are cheaperOn one hand that's a good thing, on the other what the hell does that mean? Is my economy in the shitter because we can't stop importing brown people and donating to America and Israel's wars?
>>735954056>"you can charge the same price everywhere" (which would be good) or "you can price according to currency value" (stupid)I literally don't understand the difference. By charging the same price everywhere you mean if it's 60 USD it's 60 CAD, 60 Pesos, 60 Rupees, 60 dinglebops???
>>735923139I'm using Ukranian Hryvnia as a cheat code to buy cheaper, I don't understand that graph, this is good or bad for me?
>>735923139Sorry I'm dumb. Which is better, numbers going up or down compared to the old price?
I will explain a thingSteam doesn't allow gifting games if the person gifting the game has a game with a 10% difference on price with the receiver.So for example, I have a friend in usa and in the last year he can't gift me games that are like 60 $ dollars there and 60 € here because the conversion makes the game in USA 13.37 % cheaper than in Europe.
>>735923139Same as always, paying EU prices even though my country isnt part of EU
>>735947259>>735953981apparently the percentage varies depending on the price point to avoid disproportionately hurting low-priced games>set it to $6, mena says $1.45 and $4>set it to $60, mena says $14.49 and $28.25
>>735954212It's somehow made gifting games over the ditch far more troublesome than it should be, so I just end up gifting friends a digital gift card instead. At least that works at all.

>Swiss FrancsCool, but I don't really care since I only buy games on sale. Are they going to finally start shipping their hardware over here or do they hate easy money?

>>735954870>being poor means I'm better off
>>735923373So how is it fair then for some poor Romanian fuck who still has to pay EU prices? If you want fair, prices should be based on personal income.

how many of those price includes VAT ?
>>735955393I think all of them. The tax rate outside the USA is so high that it's included in the advertised price because it can make or break a sale.
>>735955134>prices should be based on personal incomemfw it's 2040 and I'm hiding my actual income size from uncle Gabe for cheaper games
>>735923139I dont understand what multivariable conversion is. On almost every example they are admitting that both conversion rate and purchasing power mean games are overpriced but suddenly there's a magic calculation telling them to increase prices
>>735923139I don't get the OP table. For example Crimson Desert costs 70 USD. In Russia it costs 4200 rubbles. Most of the AAA games have a similar pricing currently. The table in the link says a 70 USD game should cost 1800 rubbles according to PPC and 2700 according to MVChttps://partner.steamgames.com/pricing/explorerYet the OP table makes it seem like the new suggested prices should be higher for Russia. It doesn't make sense. Looks like the old price column was swapped with the ERCO column. Because 1 USD costs exacly 82 roubles, which is fit for the ERCO column not the old price one
>>735929189>it isn't fair to the devsyou are retarded, the devs are the ones who decided to lower the price for people with low purchasing power because it gives them money they wouldnt get
>>735923139Doesn't matter at all for Europe. Regardless of what the exchange rate between dollar and euro is, devs will still sell a 70USD game for 80 euros.
>>735955625>rubbles*roublesLmao
>>735955641Nuh uh. Valve charges what they want and developers have to pay 30% of MSRP no matter what because Steam is a Chutes and Ladders.
>>735955504Yknow, thats what rich people do already.
>>735952432Multi variable has other factors, like comparing similar entertainment product prices in set country.
Are these changes live right now? I don't see any difference.
>>735923139Is it up? When does it goes live?
>>735923373why is this one Indian man in particular allowed to use an avatar in every single shitty post he makes?
>>735923139price reduction? thank you Gabe
>>735959947They aren't automatic, just suggestions for publishers when they publish their games.
>>735960452Because rapeape is half jeet and street shitters are nepotistic af.
>>735923139>>735923275it's unfair and fucking bullshit, a faggot paper pusher in belgium or whatever gets 60 euros per hour pay, buys niggerfaggot simulator 2 on gabe's store, plays 2 minutes then never touches it meanwhile i have to work 2 or 3 grueling days and have to pay the SAME 60 euros (80 euros now goy get used to it!), for niggerfaggot simulator, only for it to run like shit on ultralow and crash after 2 hours (no refunds goy!), because a new rig costs 2/3 of a YEARS wage at least, that can run said gamereally, homeless and niggers have it figured out, do crack and commit crimes, nothing else is worth it
>>735961978Get good?
>>735961978Here is what I'm doing.>wage slave for couple months abroad>come back to my shithole to NEET for a yearIt's comfy.
>>735923139i don't know how to read this...
>>735923139I don't get it, all PPCO are negative, does it mean Valve thinks games are overpriced right now?
>>735923275That's quite the radical opinion, another million dollars to africa for your state
>>735923139its 1/4 off £2 for me so its a win in my book
>>735923460Yeah no I don't believe that>>735952605No, things are always more expensive here. If we're lucky it's just a bit above the converted currency, maybe enough to make a round number. But often that "a bit above" is actually a lot above, like a $25 game isn't gonna be £18.74 and it's not gonna be £20 but it might sell for fucking £23 or some shit.And since even are direct conversions rare as fuck, I'm thinking now and I can't remember a single time a game had an actually cheaper price in bongland.
Why should developers follow their regional pricing suggestion if Valve itself is not following it?
>>735942434Might as well pirate the game at that point
>>735953725It's the second to last thoughever
