In Argentina, for example, prices have risen 485 percent, raising an ARS 649.99 (about Rs. 346) game to ARS 3,800. (about Rs. 2,020). The Steam pricing in Argentina served as a magnet for budget-conscious customers who would change their region and banking information to Argentina in order to purchase games at a significant discount. In the UK, however, the price increase is just 8%, bringing a £46.49 (about Rs. 4,387) game to £49.99. (about Rs. 4,717).
Valve hasn’t modified regional pricing concepts in a long time, but the company said in a recent developer-focused paper that it will do so on a regular basis to prevent people from just moving locations to obtain a better deal.
