On Monday, Steam rolled out local currency support for customers in 11 new countries, including Argentina, Costa Rica, Israel, and Qatar. Almost immediately, people started popping up with complaints about weird conversions, sudden price changes, and entire company catalogs becoming unavailable for some regions.
Checking out different storefront prices on Steam Database shows that Steam’s automatic suggested price varies across the 11 new currencies, with prices going down by 47 percent in Vietnam to up by 4 percent in Israel. Most of the new currencies have a default price around 30 percent lower than the USD equivalent, according to a Reddit post that did a lot of digging on the subject. If a publisher chose to use Steam’s default pricing, the new currency support was pretty much automatic.
