1€ is no 1$ , Give Europeans their old gameprices
Published December 22, 2008
recently VALVe, known for their great games like halflife and Teamfortress2, have changed the prices of their webstore on steam.
now every price that is sold in the US in dollars, is taken to Euros without conversion.
for example, GTAIV:
49,99 $ = 34,72 €
49,99 € = 71,970603 $
Difference: ~ 15 € Euros!!!
it used to be that, Steam bought games were cheaper than retail,
but didn't came without any physical stuff like a box or DVD
now its almost always more expensive than retail.
so, this petition is for everyone that
doesn't like to pay a euro for a dollar
and likes to support us in getting it back to the original system (or a fair conversion)
