Steam: New Pricing Needed For Argentina and Turkey by November 20th - SDF Chatter

I suspect piracy will become increasingly popular in these countries

I hope they don’t expect people to actually pay in usd and offer conversion themselves. Because I can’t imagine people maintaining usd credit cards just to purchase games from steam.

Otherwise, this could be a positive change as publishers can now set prices without the “what if the currency loses half its value tomorrow” insurance margin.

You can purchase in foreign currency with any international card, there’s a bit of a fee though.
I mean… If the currency is that unstable… I would expect people doing that and having accounts with dollars, saving money in a currency that moves more than a rollercoaster, it’s not great.
They have savings accounts in dollars or pinned to the dollar, not spending accounts. But looking it up it seems tl credit cards can pay in usd + maybe a conversion fee so I guess it wouldn’t be such a deal breaker
