boring real newsThey say the peso and lira were too unstable and prices were being changed too often, so Valve just told devs to start setting prices in USD at "regionally appropriate" rates. I am not aware of Gaben's opinions on Argentinian politics, thankfully

Scarecrow Voice: I told you the dollar would stabilize prices, I never said they were prices you could afford.

Ruble, Hyrvnia and the Rupee are back on top for having cheapest games

Valve's regional pricing is now even more nonsensical than before and encourages piracy

New Big Mac index

Rupee prices went up too recently but in most cases it's cheaper than the American prices.

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

It's 2023 and we STILL send death threats to Anita Sarkeesian. We are persistence incarnate.

Gabe’s a libertarian, but he also probably realizes that libertarianism is a stupid government ideology and only benefits the individual and wants to take advantage before the eventual downfall

this resolves a major internal conflict for me. i always bought games to support the developers and always drm free, from gog or humblebundle or itch.io. the thing is games were a lot cheaper on steam, so i always had a second thought to buy them on steam, to save some money. i never did but thanks to this decision i will never even consider that anymore.
