Blame Steam's recommended prices. Tynan fixed some of them, but he can't know the economic situation of every country.
Maybe he'll adjust them more next week.

Thanks for the links! That explains a little, but still seems a little too much.
For instance, FIFA 22 costs 25% more in Brazil than Argentina. Resident Evil 4 (the new remake) costs 19% more here. Elden Ring, 12% more.

Biotech costs 82.66% more!

I really hope Tynan can do something for us, as apparently he did for so many other countries.

General Discussion / Steam prices according to GDP

Greetings! Could someone tell me if Biotech's regional prices are determined by Valve or Ludeon? Or both?

I'm from Brazil, and I don't think it's fair to charge us for SIX times the price in Argentina.
Their GDP is much higher than ours, their HDI is much better than ours...

Even their soccer team is better than ours.  :'(

But seriously, is this an oversight?
Edit: Seems like the price in Turkey is also similarly waaaay lower. What gives?
