这周的坏消息有点多，我强烈怀疑是10月份第三季财报出来以后大公司发现自己入不敷出，然后拼命开源节流。

前天刚刚被微软背刺，我失去了白嫖的羊毛，今天被Valve背刺，我失去了阿根廷国籍。

还有什么是我不能失去的？无产者失去的只会是锁链！

New USD Pricing For Argentina and Turkey beginning November 20th.

The Steam store in Argentina and Turkey will start using USD, along with new regional prices for LATAM and Middle East/North Africa for 25 additional countries/ territories.

Starting on November 20th, Steam will change the currency used for sales in Argentina and Turkey to USD. We are implementing this with two new pricing regions: LATAM - USD (which includes Argentina) and MENA - USD (which includes Turkey). Some countries/territories in the list below may see pricing increase and others may see pricing decrease depending on how games were priced on Steam prior to this change. As with all Steam pricing, game developers choose the price they want to sell their game on Steam. See below for a list of all countries/territories included in these new pricing regions.

Why Now?

Exchange rate volatility in Argentina and Turkey in recent years has made it hard for game developers to choose appropriate prices for their games and keep them current. We have heard this loud and clear in our developer meet ups and round table chats. In addition, we have had a hard time keeping Steam payment methods up and running in these countries/territories due to the constant foreign exchange fluctuations, fees, taxes, and logistical issues. Pricing games in USD for Steam customers in Argentina and Turkey will help us provide greater stability and consistency for players and partners, while also enabling us to continue to offer a variety of payment methods to Steam users in those countries/territories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will happen to my Argentine peso or Turkish lira Steam wallet balance?

On November 20th, 2023, any balance in your Steam wallet will be converted to USD at the day's exchange rate.

What is happening for those other countries/territories included in LATAM-USD/MENA-USD pricing?

25 countries/ territories in Latin America and the Middle East & North Africa will be receiving regionalized USD pricing for the first time. Some countries/territories in the list below may see pricing increase and others may see pricing decrease depending on how games were priced on Steam by the developer prior to this change.

What about in-game transactions?

Going forward, in game transactions will default to transacting in USD in these new LATAM - USD and MENA - USD pricing regions.

简单概括一下，阿根廷比索和土耳其里拉贬值实在是太快了，以至于厂商涨价的速度比不上货币贬值的速度。

 

但是所有的收入都是要换算成美元的，然而阿根廷比索在过去的5年相对于美元贬值超过90%。如果一个五年前的老游戏没有涨价，相对于打了1折。这就是为啥你能买到2块钱的老3A.

 

加上大量的精神阿根廷数字移民，厂商受不了。从此以后阿根廷区和土耳其区均以美元定价。
