The games now set on the dollar American
Cheap Steam games won’t be so cheap anymore. In a press release published yesterday, Valve explains that it is adjusting the floor price authorized in certain currencies other than the dollar American. An initiative taken to be regulatory in relation to the publication of their report concerning recommended currency conversions (October 2022). For what consequence?
In addition, Valve adds that there are therefore two very distinct prices. The market launch price is US$0.99, while the trade price is around US$0.49. A price that it is sometimes possible to have during discounts or sales periods.
What changes for the consumer?
At finalnot grand thing. However, we must keep in mind two things that are the fruit of this decision. First of all, that all low-cost games are now based on the dollar American. This is to account for significant divergences in the value of certain currencies over time. These modifications therefore align the floor prices with the new recommendations. In a second time, it may be normal to no longer see certain titles on Steam. If the developers haven’t done the necessary things regarding the price of their titles, they will be invisible to potential buyers.
