Valve has added 11 new currencies to the Steam Store

Pricing on Steam is related to two factors.
First : Local sellers.
In my country ( Turkey ) a bitch ass company called named Aral is have the rights publishing some companies games. Most notable one is Bethesda , others are EA and Ubisoft.
This company sells boxed games and because of them Steam is setting these games prices to equal their pricing.
Some times it become visible too obviously. A game is came to Steam ( Prey 2017 ) with pre order at 78 TL and few hours later (because of that Aral ) it bumped up to 180 TL.
Valve has a good policy about not killing local sellers but they're abusing it.
Second : Your currency value against US dollar.
If a game is not contracted to a local seller and dev or publisher didn't do re pricing for that region , Steam converts price to your regions price with a fixed ratio.
That ratio is usually much more lower than actual currency ratio.

Probably CS:Go with my routine.
First ; warm up with an arms race match.
Second ; play one or two rounds casual.
Third ; play competitive.

Quoting: liamdaweThanks for the answer. I'll buy Borderlands 2.Quoting: LeopardI have a question.Borderlands 2 is the better one, The Pre-Sequel isn't as good. Borderlands 2 is really fun, if you like shooters with tons of random loot and awesome weapons.
I never played anything related to Borderlands. Should i pick Borderlands 2?

SteamOS is still alive with a new Beta, although it's a rather uninteresting one

Nope , money and fame doesn't mean anything.
Look at the Windows Phone. We are talking about Microsoft.

Quoting: Cyba.Cowboy* Too few "AAA" titles are still being brought to Steam/SteamOS - and Valve is not pushing hard enough to change this.Actually they do something.
Yep, clearly there wasn't much effort behind this... In fact, I almost wonder why Valve even bothered at all.
Why do You think that some AAA games (like Metro Redux or Dying Light) has a DRMFREE Windows version but the Linux version is steam exclusive? I think Valve is subsidizing Linux ports with the condition that those ports must be Steam exclusives.

Hell , even i owe my full time Linux usage to Valve. It was impossible for me before , without games.
We need Bethesda like companies and their games to grow.

Quoting: FeistAnd to think that for a short time I was naive enough to believe that Valve would support their "SteamOS & the Steammachines" in a similar way that Microsoft supports their Xboxes or Sony their Playstations with corresponding OS:s.Intention was bringing attention to Linux at first place. At that time devs didn't know anything about it , even game engines didn't support it.
Not with exclusive titles nor to the same extent in any other way but still...a strong and commited effort by Valve to challenge Windows as "The PC-Gaming OS of Choice". To say that my expectations fell short would be a truly absurd understatement.

Mantis Burn Racing needs more support if it is to come to Linux

Sorry but that game is not so desirable even for Windows users.
There is no need for Linux port of that , dev should add something to game for at least selling that on Windows.

Lovecraftian horror 'Conarium' powered by Unreal Engine is still coming to Linux, could be soon
