“The problem lies in the data Valve uses to make these suggestions.” According to the YouTuber, Valve hasn’t updated its conversion rates since 2022, when it first introduced the regional pricing system. At that point in time, “the Polish currency was near its weakest” – but Steam is still “using this weak old rate” from three years ago.

    Does Valve set the prices? I thought it was the publishers/developers/who ever manages the steam product listing.

      it’s the devs/publishers yes

      some time ago Palworld devs lowered the regional price for Poland as they noticed it was relatively more expensive for Poles to buy the game, they got a lot of praise for that
