Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Fat Cat, for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, February 5 (Xinhua)-- after Steam updated its pricing recommendation tool, R Star and other manufacturers recently began to raise the pricing of their games in the national region. For example, the standard version of "Wild Dart: redemption 2" rose from 249 yuan to 279 yuan, and the original price of the deluxe version of "GTA5" rose from 118.5 yuan to 134.25 yuan.

For reference, GTA5 players can buy the luxury version for as little as 59.1 yuan, the Wild Dart Online as low as 35 yuan, and the Wild Dart: redemption 2 standard edition as low as 82.17 yuan.

Of course, in addition to the national area, the price of "Wild Dart 2" has also increased in Turkey, Argentina and other regions, even more than tripled directly.

In addition to R Star, there are many other games that have recently raised their prices in low-price areas, such as "simulated Farm 22", "grim North", "Strange Horticulture", "Warhammer 40k: mechanical Theism", "Ixion", "Industrial rise", "gangster City", "breathing Edge", "SuchArt: artist Simulator", "City of Forgetting", "Tungsten Wire" and so on.

It is well known that the pricing of Steam games varies from region to region, which allows some players to use the swap zone to buy low-cost games, such as Ukraine or Argentina, and the V Club continues to "repatriate" these players through some policies.

However, the pricing of Steam is ultimately determined by developers, and V Society first uses US dollars as the basis, and then displays the suggested prices in other regions according to the exchange rate and spending power of different regions, but V said that most developers ignored this suggested feature, which made it impossible for game prices to keep up with rapidly changing exchange rates (such as the Japanese yen).

The V news agency stressed that although regional pricing proposals will be updated more frequently, there is no mandatory requirement for developers to change prices automatically, and the announcement is only intended to help developers pay more attention to exchange rate changes in order to respond to and propose changes in pricing.

In addition, V Society has also launched a new Steam pricing tool to help developers better set game pricing in different regions, as previously reported by CTOnews.com.

"V Society will frequently update the data of" Steam Regional pricing recommendations "to keep up with the changes in exchange rates of various countries.
