Probably most of you already aware already. One thing to note is that games are now cheaper. Most 4.99USD games are now RM10.00 (average). Probably save your money for this holiday season discount.

borderlands presequel $59.99, updated to ringgit currency its now RM 105.

what say you??

witcher 3 59.99usd + 15% discount = RM89.25 Steam Logic

why? you dont like the price?
sounds good to me

look great to me. or is it just me? $60 game now become =+RM100. definitely better

edit: ops. some games only

way better some priced $49.99 or $59.99 games are now cost around rm100+ only if you try convert back to usd from rm is about $30+ only so we save quite alot...

Maybe Valve researched some reports awhile back that SEA most PC pirates hence the cheap prices to counter piracy

not like i dun like it, i loveee it

the price conversion seems illogical
more like typo or bug or sumething

Their pricing isn't consistent.

Borderland 2 GOTY is expensive. Steam shows RM176 but USD is only RM128.

But normal edition is RM38 which is cheaper. Season pass is cheaper, RM56.

Err... weird. =\

All hail Lord Gaben!

i think that the pricing is based on publishers/local distributors agreed price. I see a lot of DLCs at full price, but the main game is cheaper. I know currently COH2 had 50% off DLC sales, but MY shows at full pricetag. I m starting to hate this change, it might end up like PSN

There are numerous discussion on this at the Steam thread here.

Haha interesting :lol: :clap:

welp, my money is going out faster than before.. I can't imagine how steam sales will be like later...

the evil within used to 59.99USD,after steam in RM only RM105,so cheap!!!

good what

Haha my wallet is burning. Now dont even need to wait winter sales

I know it's a psychological thing, but am I the only one who's more discouraged buying Steam games now looking at their true value post-conversion? Games that previously sell at $60 for example may now retail at a whooping RM190, and the lowest dollar prices still set you at around RM5; budget games previously under $10 and $5 tags are now under the RM30 and RM15 tags, hefty sums by my standards. When I'm buying in USD there was the illusion that I bought for less (nevertheless I still calculated the exchange value everytime I made a purchase), and the pain of knowing you're spending in an inferior currency was less apparent.

I want out of this. Anything, even a Steam mod to locally convert to prices to the market USD value, is better than being reminded in your face that the ringgit's a shitty undervalued currency. Otherwise, I'm not tempted to buy anything now. These prices just look too high.

Parrot, that's what I thought at first too.. but have you even seen the new prices?

Civ: Beyond Earth is a $50.00 game that is only selling for RM95.. Most games are wayy cheaper now in ringgit..

If it makes you happy, what you can do is convert the RM to USD in your head... for example, convert RM95 to 30 USD and you will be "omg! i just got a 40% discount!"

hi catcha chan.
some people just wanna complain, just let them be lor.

for me, i'll wait for winter sales before i buy anything.
and hopefully gst no kacau us.

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.
page 27

http://gst.customs.gov.my/en/rg/SiteAssets...020.08.2014.pdf

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

Well hey, at least now you understand why people keep complaining about Gamestop and its ilk online.

Steam in local currency. However, the prices currently increasing on certain games.

i feel your pain fellas
