Steam games expensive when using BitCoin

[corp]

Hi Peeps,

Anyone else notice that if buying Steam games and using BitCoin to pay for them that they cost more?

Example, Ghost Recon Wildlands currently selling for R799 but using BitCoin it costs R919.

I'm still bummed that Civilization 6 at 33% off is still R699

That's really odd. Maybe their exchange rates aren't updating frequently enough or something. Or it's an added insurance in case there's a big swing in value.

Might be better just buying local Steam Wallet Codes with Bitcoin where the pricing is more accurate, and then buying on Steam.

You can't blame them can you, having to covert the currency back to dollars time delay before they actually get their money, service fees they have to pay to convert the currency.Nothing in life is free.
