I live in one of those places and we don't have regional pricing. When Steam starts offering competitive pricing in Africa I'll start buying games at full price but for the moment I'll stick to buying games on sale and piracy.
What currency do you use? Rand?
Shillings. I'll let you guess which kind of shillings ;)
Ah, okay. Yeah, looking at Steam's pricing it doesn't give me the option to regionally price for shillings of any kind. The most I can regionally price is the South African Rand. Do prices on Steam then just show in USD for you or do they actually sell stuff in shillings?
Sucks for us :/ The prices show up in USD.
I caved and bought it at full price 😭 Responsible spending habits are a capitalist conspiracy.
