I'm expecting the worst. No regional pricing but region locking implemented anyway. And a bad exchange rate to boot. That's what GMG did when they transitioned to INR earlier this year. A $60 game would cost $70ish on GMG. On top of that they disabled the VIP section for us and coupons don't work either. So basically the site became instantly useless. I hope that doesn't happen to Steam

That would be extremely disappointing, and I doubt Valve would have gone ahead with the change.
Take a look at CS:GO pricing:

So far, all of the regional pricing implemented after Euros and Pounds have made games cheaper, not more expensive than USD. Edit: Except Yen, very often, and there's a lot of locked games, specially japanese games.
Of course, there's the random dev that changes the presets *cough* Capcom *cough*, but they're still priced about the same as the USD price at worst.

Is this a good sign?

are you tho

What people often forget about regional pricing is that if it didn't exist, then everyone should be expecting to pay the highest available price, not the lowest.

As a fellow Canadian, I agree

It is not - https://steamdb.info/changelist/1339768/

Unless 29384 apps are all super special

I know not many of you bought Galak-Z cause you god damn suck

but:

is anyone else playing the game having an issue where Achievement notifications pop up when.. you exit the game? rather than during it?

overlay and everything else works fine, so im not sure whats up

Dammit, how come it says updated earlier this month? Am i missing something?

 

[madjoki]

Just got an email from Valve. Steam is transitioning to Indian Rupees for us on November 3rd. Very worried about what kind of pricing we'll get after the switch :\

Apparently it's about the same level as Indonesia. Of course publishers can choose freely.

Valve still hasn't added SEK, this is getting ridicilous

 

[Eila]

Regional pricing is great, it makes people in developing countries buy more and pirate less games.
I don't understand why Russian prices are generally much cheaper than every other place, though. I guess it's because they were the first one.

Got a 3.0 Web Code from a friends. Going to see if it works with Disney Infinity on Steam.

 

[Nzyme32]

All of those 29384 apps got the same set of changes on the same day at the same time - ie it's just some routine change that Valve did across Steam. Unfortunately nothing exciting

 

[Sober]

I don't understand this game. Is it really just cleaning stuff up like in the videos? Why is it not boring as hell?

What makes other games not boring? There's like so many games where I just shoot endless waves of faceless mooks and I've gotten bored of those.

Not in the plans for the short term:

I guess they're targeting developing countries where gaming can grow a lot.

Viscera Cleanup Detail - House of Horror

Oh hells yeah!

Just when I thought I didn't have a Halloween game to play!

I wonder why this is DLC instead of being a standalone game like Santa's Rampage.

Sweden has one of the largest %of population using steam.

Going by the achievement times it looks like I'm getting the same thing. Also it seems like the achievements might be a little buggy in general - I don't think I would've earned a couple of the ones I've received (I've never snuck into a warp beacon unless the White Tusk fight counts for that, or collected all chests in a season).

 

[Chariot]

Yeah. So they don't need more incentives to join.

What's the largest? I'd guess the US.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

If you want Mercenary Kings, PM me and I'll gift ya a copy from a leftover HB. Then you too can embrace the mediocrity.

Mercenary Kings is in the new humble bundle. It sucks, don't buy it.

Mercenary Kings is awful.

Ok , after 45 minutes thanks to ramoisdead, the movement , shooting , and overall feel of this game is just not fun, booted metal slug on psp just to be sure , and yes, 1 minute in that game is already fun. Is such a shame.

 

[Aaron D.]

I don't understand this game. Is it really just cleaning stuff up like in the videos? Why is it not boring as hell?

It's not boring as hell 'cause it's designed to be a relaxing game to begin with.

Besides the premise being incredibly novel, the game itself has an OCD Zen vibe.

Tons of diverse maps as well.

VCD is definitely out there, but it delivers for what it is.

 

[Spirited]

What's the largest? I'd guess the US.

http://steamspy.com/country/

Sweden is at 1.67% of total steam userbase.

and our population is only at 9mil.

 

[Turfster]

Looks like they added more stuff to the sale?
Maybe?
Or it's weeklies showing up.

 

[Chariot]

;_;

That's not fair.

That's Steam.

What's the largest? I'd guess the US.

What? No. The americans are on their xboxes and on their iphones and on their Lugers. He said % population, not total population.

edit: or not?

 

[Momentary]

IF this new Nier game doesn't come to PC, I'm fucking quitting PC gaming.

 

[Dr.Acula]

I see 3 new ones

But I got the new badge after doing 2 of them

I got the upgrade after doing 2 as well. In the process of making a short shadowplay vid of Metro 2033, uploading to youtube, linking youtube, and sending to Steam just so I can OCD complete all the tasks.

I hope they never have a "link facebook" task because I never ever had or ever will have fb.

 

[Jazz573]

Just figured it would be US, with Valve being an American company. Anyways Canada is 3.49% of Steam users.

Is that number made up of people who list their country on their profile, or the actual number?

 

[Cosmic Schwung]

Yep, you don't need any of the dlc. I didn't think we'd see another sale of the third one before final cut dropped but I'll probably pick it up now.

 

[Spirited]

People who list their country on the profile, I think.

That's the only number I can think of that you can get.

I don't think Mercenary Kings is a great game

that said; my initial dislike of it came from it not being like Metal Slug, which is what one might assume by just seeing screens / videos

the jump lag and all that bothered me, but after a while I started to understand the type of game it is

I don't think its bad, I just think it takes a while. Game is pretty weird structure wise and all.

It's kinda like 2D Monster Hunter. Animation/Movement priority. Taking on many "missions" on the same level. Capturing bosses rather than killing them...

I think what killed it for me was having 4-way splitscreen even when playing just 2 players... I was really lookin forward to playing it locally with a bud but that part was just awful


also, I made a thread on the jump lag THE DAY of release and I still get weekly steam notifications for it on people commenting how much it sucks, even tho I didnt mind it like a day later after making the thread

it's just a very weird and offputting game for the first few minutes cause you're expecting something else, but if you have the time I say give it.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

What will happen to the US dollars in your wallet when they make the currency change?

 

[Eila]

Yep, you don't need any of the dlc. I didn't think we'd see another sale of the third one before final cut dropped but I'll probably pick it up now.

You think it's worth grabbing the third one 50% off? I already have I and II.

People who list their country on the profile, I think.

That's the only number I can think of that you can get.

Right.
I recently added that to my profile, to hopefully raise the average

 

[electroflame]

I believe that they'll convert the currency using the current exchange rate at the time of the conversion.

 

[Lomax]

but i'm not sure

They added three new ones, finish a discovery queue, view a broadcast, and add your phone number (which was the obvious point of the whole thing). And as with the last level, you just have to do all of them but one to get the badge.

Im going to play it more later then, but so far I dont like how it plays.

I believe that they'll convert the currency using the current exchange rate at the time of the conversion.

I hope they make the change in december, when the exchange rate is going to be at its highest for the US dollar against my currency

[MarcoZombieCannon]

What's really killing my enjoyment of Mercenary Kings is the intermittent and random as fuck slowdown I keep getting. I kinda like it otherwise.

Not as annoying as the lag I get when I try and play Rocket League while online though. That drives me insane. Offline 4 player only for me on that until I can sort that out.
