I'm not ok with the way of how current regional pricing and currency support is working right now. I know it's about publishers setting the price and such. To be more precise I don't really get why Poland has regional pricing and currency support whilst Bulgaria, Czech Republic and other EU states are not supported. People in Poland are protesting against higher prices than EU standard pricing. But in CZ and Bulgaria are all prices higher by default since the minimal wages are so low. For example the inflated mgs delta which costs 87,05€ in poland is 7,93% of minimal wage. in czech republic standard pricing which is 80€ is 9,399% of minimal wage. But of course there are also prices in Poland that are adequate. I would like Steam to support more currencies or don't support them at all.

Your posting in the wrong forum, This is a STEAM ONLY related sub-forum, to discuss Ideas and suggestions for valve to make to the steam User Interface on the App, client and website and for the online steam services.

This forum is not for any game related suggestions or ideas, or pricing. You need to talk to the publisher, developer, and your government.

Nothing valve / steam can help you on this matter.

Developers, publishers set the prices for their games.

It's valve that decides what currencies they support. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/pricing/currencies

I'm talking about supporting other currencies. Which can make regional pricing more relevant, and fair for other users in other countries.

This forum is not about pricing or currency, it is for suggestions and ideas for the USER INTERFACE on the app, client, and website. and also for the ONLINE steam services.

The valve / steam admins that handle financial and currency stuff will never see it here.

This forum is only for the programmers, and even then, very rare with all the off topic stuff posted, does it get to be seen by them.

Other then the steam partners web system, used by developers and publishers, no i do not.

All of the steam email addresses are internal use only now.

Everyone around the world should be paying the same price, period, because that's fair.

And that does not alter that developers, publishers set the prices after all we can all argue prices are not fair. I would prefer to pay Brazil prices.

My biggest problem is that publishers can't set different price for czech republic because Steam doesn't support czk as a currency to begin with. I would even prefer poland's currency because some publishers care and they are making prices fair.
