The online gaming platform Steam has announced that it will be adjusting its pricing for games to regional factors. This decision has been made in order to better take into account the world economy and its fluctuations, thus ensuring a fairer pricing for players around the world.
A New System for Regional Pricing
Since 2015, Steam has been following the recommendations of developers when it comes to pricing their games. The new changes, however, will take into consideration several factors, including exchange rates.
Countries such as Argentina and Turkey will be particularly affected by the new price adjustments. These adjustments, however, should ensure a fairer distribution of prices around the world and better take into account the fluctuations in the world economy.
Problem with Buying from Other Countries
One problem that arises, however, is the fact that some players buy from other countries in order to get the lowest price on Steam. The decision for regional pricing is a difficult one, but the alternative would be to exploit the system and buy the game cheaper than it is actually worth.
In conclusion, it can be said that the new changes to pricing for games on Steam are a necessary step in order to ensure a fairer distribution of prices around the world. Although there will be some challenges to overcome, the new system should ultimately be beneficial to all parties involved.
