I see with Steam's latest regional pricing amendments that are usable by publishers that SA isn't spoiled anymore. Ever since that change was announced in March, it works as such:


Three conversion methods​

Previously, Steam only offered a single set of suggested prices (what Valve now calls the "multi-variable" method). Developers can now choose from three:

  1. Multi-variable conversion (Nuanced) takes into account local purchasing power, the expected cost of comparable entertainment goods, and exchange rates. This was previously the only option.
  2. Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) uses public data about the average purchasing power of customers within a given country or region.
  3. Exchange Rate (FX) is a straightforward currency exchange rate conversion. It is unclear how often Valve plans to update the exchange rate data.
Developers can mix and match methods, or ignore them entirely and set their own prices, as has always been the case.

I do pricing tracking, and yeah, best claim those premium games on Epic :whistling:

Eh, it is not that bad, except that some publishers hiked our pricing. Where we used to be in the low to middle, we are now more in the middle to high. Some publishers have us about 5-10% lower than the USD. This by large depends on the publisher, but I don't expect indie games to be 'cheap' anymore.

Some regions are suddenly being spoiled by the expanded conversion methods. I am curious what PPP model Valve is using. We are ranked 33rd, right? I don't see that in the pricing. It is possible that the publishers are now taking FX, and then min/max a percentage that they believe is best according to their regional Steam sales history.

Anyhow, be happy to have this thread.

Can also see it in card sales the last few months, they add more % on top.
But so far game prices are still looking good, or at least my whish-listed games
