Steam: New Pricing Needed For Argentina and Turkey by November 20th
The Steam store in Argentina and Turkey will start using USD, along with new regional prices for LATAM + MENA regions
I suspect piracy will become increasingly popular in these countries

As a Turkish person this fucking sucks. I was a pirate anyway but guess I will never get to buy games
Forgive my ignorance, but what does it do to your experience practically speaking? Are the prices going up? Is it difficult to purchase things in USD because of having to convert currency?
The game prices are scaled to our "purchasing power" to some extent before the change, meaning they're still expensive but steam is making the games more affordable for us to some extent, the change to USD means the scaling is not up to steam, there is recommended prices and if companies abide to those some games might even get cheaper but big studios tend to not do that meaning we almost get games at the price of a cheaper gaming PC before our economy went to shit.
Ah I see. Sorry to hear that! Thanks for explaining.
