hhh2 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Why do restricted game copies exist? Is it something to do with different currencies?

DajeKotlyar Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 In Ukraine we can buy DST by ~7$ without sales. Is it answer your question? 230/37=6,2$ So I can literally buy the game, then sell it by 10$. Restricted copies just don't allow it.

What Daje said and it's related to how the steam market actually adapts prices to not only local currencies but local "value". Even if they translated directly the dollars cost of a steam store game or item, into the exact local currency, it would probably still be too "expensive" in that place, considering what the average gamer there earns each month and can realistically spend in a game. So they adapt prices into regional pricing for it to be competitive and affordable, and then restrict you from being able to trade, gift or sell it somewhere else. They also ban you if you try to VPN to get better prices.

Juanasdf Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Both a blessing and a curse because it means we can't gift steam games to friends from other countries IIRC, even if we wanted to pay for the difference between the og and the regional price 1 hour ago, ShadowDuelist said: Even if they translated directly the dollars cost of a steam store game or item, into the exact local currency, it would probably still be too "expensive" in that place, considering what the average gamer there earns each month and can realistically spend in a game. And taxes! In argentina you have to pay around 74% extra for games on steam Therefore a game like don't starve, which is ARS$ 180 ends up at ARS$ 313... This is why we use "steamcito", a chrome extension for steam that automatically applies taxes and shows you how much you're really spending.
