About Steam prices in Turkey...

Recommended Posts

I have been enjoying DCS World since 2021. I had the chance to buy the F-16, Persian Gulf, and Flaming Cliffs 3 before the Steam prices skyrocketed. The prices have become so high that no person on Earth would buy them, even if they were rich. It is ridiculously expensive for a DLC (the F-16 costs ₺1,506, while the minimum wage is ₺8,506). We would appreciate having local pricing for Turkish players or any other country with a low currency. I am not trying to be rude or anything; I am simply explaining the current situation. The old prices were more reasonable and affordable. We understand that certain factors might restrict such changes, but we would like to express our understanding if this is not feasible.

 

Thank you for your understanding and consideration.

I do understand and feel you. It seems though that most employees and 3rd party developers live mostly in Europe/Australia/US, and it would not be fair to expect them to work for less/free.
Living in those places can be quite costly!

That's a huge exaggeration here.

Wait for sale or buy cheaper modules.

Damn, and I thought euro-prices were crazy. Doesnt make it any better, but as to how they arrive at the prices:

Looks like ED uses a direct turkish lira to dollar/euro conversion; they got very few differences in regional pricing, at least on steam. Even Russia is just 5% cheaper after conversion. Most regional stuff is -20% to +30%. 

For me the F-14 is 74€, which converts into 1586,51 Lira. Tho median monthly income is 2166€ (sadly went down cuz creep of half time jobs).

This game is expensive even for high income countries. For people in lower income countries or with high inflation its probably impossible to pay those prices.

Only solution is to play a different game.
