It started selling in Turkish lira in 2014. Steam, “high exchange rate volatility in recent yearsHe started using dollars in the market, making an excuse. What upsets the players in Turkey The detailed explanation made before on this subject is as follows: had happened: “Steam store in Argentina and Turkey will start using USD. This change will be accompanied by new regional prices for Latin America and the Middle East/North Africa in a total of 25 countries and territories. Starting November 20, Steam will change the currency used for sales in Argentina and Turkey to USD. We will make this change using two new pricing zones:

“LATAM-USD” (this region includes Argentina) and “MENA-USD” (this region includes Turkey). In some countries/regions, there may be a price increase or decrease in line with Steam pricing. “As with all Steam pricing, game developers can sell their games on Steam for any price they want.”
The company asks “Why now?” He answered the question as follows: “The high exchange rate volatility experienced in Argentina and Turkey in recent years has made it difficult for game developers to choose appropriate prices in these currencies and keep them constantly updated. We encounter this feedback very often in our developer meetups and chats.
In addition, we have experienced significant difficulty in keeping Steam payment methods up and running due to constant exchange rate fluctuations, fees, taxes, and logistical issues in these countries/regions.
Changing prices to USD for customers in Argentina and Turkey means that we can continue to offer a variety of payment methods to users living in these countries/regions, while helping us provide a more standardized and consistent service to both players and partners.”
