Then, they would no longer be regional prices.

Guess you're right. But I wonder: how high has the EUR/USD exchange rate to become for those greedy publishers to feel even slightly ashamed of keeping the 1:1 ratio? Isn't the current 1.24:1 not enough? Needs it to reach the almost 1.4:1 from 2014, or even the 1.6:1 peaks from just the early days of the subprime crisis?

If it has been working for them ever since Steam implemented the € currency (2008 I believe), why bother changing it now?

I do agree with that, that would be nice :)

About time! Thanks. :)

Basically, that's good news for EUR, GBP, PLN, NOK, DKK, CHF, and CNY.

Bad news for AUD, SEK, CAD, and BRL.

And indifferent news for RUB.


But, above all, excellent news for the devs/pubs, who are now getting a bigger extra chunk from most of the regions.
The strong Euro I have been reading about on the news finally makes an appearance. :)
Ah, finally :D
mafia 3 deluxe costs a little over £50 with over £10 back in regional pricing. that's insane!
The new exchange rates as follows:

5.99$ = 5.19 EUR = 4.69 GBP = 8.19 AUD = 409 RUB = 22.19 PLN = 54.40 SEK = 50.10 NOK = 38.60 DKK = 5.89 CHF = 7.79 CAD = 24.29 BRL = 41.00 CNY

I managed to grab TW3 on lower price. YAY!
Holy crap!
5.09 -> 5.59.
+10% just before the Birthday Sale?
How could you? :(
Your post is the only one mentioning 5.59 - were the numbers different when they got posted earlier?
Regional pricing is B.S. I just change it to USD and use Currency converters to look at the price most times it works out a bit cheaper, Sometimes up to $1.50 cheaper, Still getting used to new keyboard so sorry if I made any spelling mistakes.
