Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens guser, Liu233, Baa Yang, Domado for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com October 25, the official website of Steam recently announced that from November 20, Steam will change the currency used for sales in Argentina and Turkey to US dollars.

Exchange rate fluctuations in Argentina and Turkey have made it difficult for game developers to choose the right price for their games and keep up with exchange rate changes in recent years, the V news agency said. In addition, due to continuing foreign exchange fluctuations, fees, taxes and logistics problems, it is difficult for V Club to maintain the normal operation of Steam payment methods in these countries. Pricing games in dollars for Steam users in Argentina and Turkey will help provide greater stability and consistency to players and partners, while enabling them to continue to offer multiple payment methods to Steam users in these countries.

According to the announcement, Steam will implement this change in two new pricing areas: Latin America-USD (including Argentina) and Middle East and North Africa-USD (including Turkey).

Pricing may rise in some countries in the following list, while pricing may decrease in others, depending on how the game was priced on Steam prior to this change:

Latin America-dollar region Central America

Belize

El Salvador

Guatemala

Honduras

Nicaragua

Panama

South America

Suriname

Venezuela

Middle East and North Africa-Dollar region Middle East

Bahrain

Egypt

Iraq

Jordan

Lebanon

Oman

Palestine

Turkey

Yemen

North Africa
