Fix suggested prices for Poland
Considering that the conversion rate for Polish currency was last update over 2 years ago and on top of that it was during a particularly bad time, you really need to fix that issue. It's really not funny that we have to pay almost 10% more than other european countries and about 20% more than USA. This issue has stopped being funny a long time ago. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED!

and your posting this here in a user to user only sub-forum why? steam has nothing to do with your prices, talk to your government and the games developer / publisher who make the decision on prices. Steam only offers a suggestive price to the publisher / developer.

No user in this user only steam related sub-forum can help you get those changes.

Because that's not how it works.

It's down to banking and conversions their end. Payment processors and of course, the publishers that set the prices too.

Bugger all to do with Valve.

So yes, contact your government because that is how it works.

If it got off its butt and finished joining the EU, you'd have the Euro as the currency of Poland and your prices would be exactly the same as the rest of the EU.

Speak to your Government about VAT.

https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/taxation/vat/vat-rules-rates/index_en.htm

VAT rates applied in EU countries

Although VAT is charged throughout the EU, each EU country is responsible for setting its own rates.


As for the USA the price shown does not include tax which is added later at checkout.

In the EU the price shown includes VAT. For Poland VAT is 23%.

Speak to publishers about setting cheaper regional prices for Poland.

As of now it seems like majority just puts you into EU zone, converts Euros to Zloty without taking quality of life into account and the fact that you have your own separate currency.

If that was the case there wouldn't be such a drastic ddifference between EU andd Polish prices (usually we are paying about 10% more than other EU countries). Also, speaking with devs/publishers as an individual rarely works, if at all (I know this from experience).
