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.

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
