Request for Fair Regional Pricing for South Asia

Dear Steam Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

As a gamer from South Asia, I’m writing to kindly request a review of AAA game pricing in our region. Currently, many new titles are priced significantly higher compared to other Asian regions like Southeast Asia, despite lower average income levels in countries such as India, Taiwan, Indonesia,Vietnam, Japan and even China

We appreciate Steam’s efforts in supporting global access to games, and we believe that adjusting regional pricing for South Asia would promote affordability, reduce piracy, and expand your user base in the region.

Thank you for considering this feedback. We hope to see fairer and more accessible pricing for all gamer in South Asia.

Warm regards,
Dark

Each of those have their own currencies on Steam where Valve suggests prices but ultimately, it is up to the game devs/pubs to set the prices for those countries.

As a neighboring country of India, we have half the GDP per capita, yet game prices here are higher than in India. If only developers could see that.

Game devs/pubs can see that already. It is ultimately up to them to set the prices.

Here is an example of The Witcher 3...

You can see the prices Valve suggests along with what CDPR decided to set.

The same.goes for Baldur's Gate 3...

Really appreciate them considering regional pricing—might just buy the game to show support.

Now take Lies of P, the game you questioned the regional pricing for in the thread you made in their game hub...

NEOWIZ ignored Valve's suggested pricing.

Maybe they don't want a player base from South Asia... :(
