if this is true, then high chance no gst applied to steam store transactions.

We can only hope else back to mother Russia

Like said, it's not the discounted prices that is the problem. I've been waiting for that to happen, but I also failed to take into account how expensive it'll still have to be anyway to make a profit.

So you're perfectly fine with Steam forcing what they perceive to be a one-size-fits-all policy onto all customers of a country. Hokay, but I wasn't as bothered by the reduction of the pricing as much as how it's even more discouraging to buy anything now because they're now upfront about how even the cheapest games are as pricey as your daily eating/traveling/utility expenses and loan installments. And since original video games are essentially a luxury, what is the point of wasting my hard-earned money now when I know exactly how much I could be wasting on games I may or may not end up liking? Hell, I can't afford better Internet anyway, so what's the point of buying (or pirating) these games in the first place when I have to spend days, even weeks, to download before I can play?

All I wanted is an option on Steam to recalculate the RM prices in other currencies so I'm not immediately deterred by how expensive they still are, and I'll be content enough to move on. I don't complain for the mere sake of complaining.

I can't see the source for this. Can you direct me by linking?

Thanks.

prices for most games i want to buy are much lower than before.
that is good enough for me.
nothing else matters.

i think here.

seems legit.
from gst.customs.gov.my


the more i look at it, i think the more steam falls under the last category.
steam store only sells to private consumers in malaysia.
no gst yay!

Good that it is likely not to be affected by GST.

haha awesome

Most games cheaper, but some are not. Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity going for RM201, while GMG has them for USD60 each. Include their current ongoing 25% discount and it's definitely cheaper. Both are Ubisoft games though, so maybe they have their own pricing preference. Overall games look cheaper but I will still watch out and do price comparisons.

Most of the good games are now just RM38. Worth the shot!

Which good games are at RM38?

Saints Row IV
Betrayer
Transistor
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Skyrim

And the list goes on and may vary to preferences.

Hey guys just checking, just today I checked and realised that games that previously had this notice "Purchases made in Malaysia can only be added to your library if you are in Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia." no longer have them anymore (e.g.: Wasteland 2, Divinity Original Sin and Naruto Ultimate Ninja Revolution"). Can you guys verify to see if this is true or it's just me experiencing it? I searched around and can't find any Steam announcement regarding this change. Thanks!
P.S. : Sorry if this is off-topic!
EDIT: I moved this query to the Steam FAQ thread, so can a mod please delete this post? Thanks!

D'ffen strokes.

At least I'll save money for more important things.

I agree with you on lower price is more important.

Other than that is clearing backlog games.

Borderland pre-sequel is now RM149.

yeah knn mcb greedy publisher 2k raised the price rom rm95 to rm149

argh

Just wait for sales if that's what they want. But could it be Randy Pitchford? SEGA said they do whatever f they like without seeking publisher permission.

Sois due to complaints by retailers that can't compete with digital sales? Can I say f those retailers? Damn f you asked me. This is digital and it's more expensive than retail. Their complain won't change a thing. It's only making more people wait for sales
