Support NeoGAF

[Mavromatis]

That's correct. Dota 2 is operated by Perfect World in China.

Of course, just because Dota 2 isn't handled by Steam in China doesn't mean that people in China don't use Steam.

I think Counter Strike has a similar deal too.

 

[catmario]

South Korean won?

wow

 

[fade_]

How many Vietnamese Dong can you get for a dollar?

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

And every single one of those currencies will be more expensive than just paying with US dollars.

 

[Sibylus]

They're adding CAD? Noooo, my (marginal) savings!

 

[SpaceDrake]

They actually mentioned the won at Steamdev. I guess that info didn't get out?

The dong is totally new, though, and rather a surprise. I didn't realize the Viet market was considered that substantial.

 

[Salsa]

dong huh

they're still missing some basic stuff

 

[Qvoth]

indonesian rupiah? :O
intredasting...

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

So I compiled the currency tables for TF2 keys, to give everyone an idea of the exchange rates:

• usd = $2.19
• gbp = £1.29
• eur = 1,61€
• rub = 73,60 py6.
• brl = R$ 4,80
• jpy = ¥ 222.36
• nok = 13,41 kr
• idr = Rp 26504.12
• myr = RM7.06
• php = P96.76
• sgd = S$2.71
• thb = ฿70.72
• vnd = 46,950.28₫
• krw = ₩2,224.93
• try = 4,69 TL
• uah = 26,76₴
• mxn = Mex$ 28.61
• cad = CDN$ 2.36
• aud = AUD$ 2.34
• nzd = NZD$ 2.49

They're using a really high conversion rate for IDR. Darn.

The rupiah was announced at Steamdev, too. It surprised me a little too - while Indonesia is a huge country in terms of population and size, I didn't think the gaming sector was big enough to justify supporting the currency yet.

 

[Neiteio]

I feel like I should be able to buy Donkey Kong on Steam if I'm going to pay in dongs

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Always like to see more Dong support.

 

[Deepo]

I dread the day they make me pay in NOK. PSN makes me pay in NOK, and there the current pricing model is $59.99USD = 599NOK.

599NOK is equivalent to $104USD.

 

[Doczu]

So Vietnamese people can pay with their Dongs, but in Poland i still have to use euro? That's just great.

 

[bobnowhere]

Can't wait to get screwed over by the likes of Ubisoft and Bethesda in Australian dollars.

 

[ZeroX03]

Is this going to be optional? I do not fucking want to pay in Australian Dollars.

 

[Aquashark]

what about Bison dollars?

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

Y no

 

[jshackles]

Is this going to be optional? I do not fucking want to pay in Australian Dollars.

This will not be optional. Once Australian Dollars are fully supported, they'll convert your wallet funds to AUD, and all future transactions on the store and market will take place in AUD.

Malaysian Ringgit has been confirmed to go live on September 16th, as well as possibly some others (and some speculate all others) at that time.

 

[Shengar]

Holy shit, price conversion from USD to Rupiah is really well done. Divinity OS from $40, now Rp. 260000, $23-$25 in USD. This conversion stuff is good

The rupiah was announced at Steamdev, too. It surprised me a little too - while Indonesia is a huge country in terms of population and size, I didn't think the gaming sector was big enough to justify supporting the currency yet.

The population is too big to be ignored. While original gaming isn't that well accepted in the past because the sheer price alone, now legal gaming is on the rise because the cheap price brought by Steam Discount/ The hassle free plus the prestige of buying original, legal game is what makes Steam slowly become even more popular in Indonesia. Now with conversion that makes the base price of many games become significantly cheaper, Steam surely will reek many profit here.

 

[wilflare]

chiming in from Singapore
the prices seem okay. a good mix of US$1 = SG$1 (since SG is weaker, the games become cheaper) and RRP prices.

 

[Deadbeat]

The canadian not-getting-fucked-over-like-other-british-commenwealths fun coming to an end? Because the op kind of makes it not look horrible, but I dont have faith.

Imagine the horror being like australia.

 

[MrBali]

Turkish Lira is a welcome addition although does anyone know if the prices will be the same? Hopefully the prices are still on par with USD values and crazy Turkish tax is not implemented.

 

[El Sabroso]

Well if I get the Origin Pricing here in Mexico it would be awesome

 

[Funyarinpa]

Chiming in from Turkey. Right now, the shop is still showing the games at USD, at their regular price.

I'm very worried about the conversion rate, but I've yet to see what the future holds.
