  Steam reccomends exchange rate, but it was last updated when złoty was very weak. Now people are demanding steam to update exchange rates to the current ones.

  I remember someone saying that it makes sense to price games less in lower income areas of the world, otherwise most people wouldn’t be able to afford them

    As someone from lower income country, it definitely help a lot, but lately the regional pricing isn’t as enticing as before. What i’m not aware is that some other country could have price jacked up as high as 45% and in this case 60%(!), so in combination of my own experience they must’ve change something.
