50% discount? I don't think so!

General Discussion
#1

Given that whoever set up the “50% discount” prices apparently can’t do math, I started this completely pointless thread to group up the real discounts, for the sake of statistics. I’ll appreciate if people in countries not present on this list post their country’s full price and “50% discount” price for founder’s pack 1.

USA
Full price: 49.99
Discount price: 24.99
50% discount

EU
Full price: 45.99
Discount price: 22.99
50% discount

Brazil
Full price: 170.83
Discount price: 88.49
48.1% discount

Russia
Full price: 3132.87
Discount price: 1644.57
47.5% discount

Canada
Full price: 60.33
Discount price: 31.71
47.4% discount

Mexico
Full price: 823.08
Discount price: 433.02
47.4% discount

New Zealand
Full price: 67.68
Discount price: 35.64
47.3% discount

Chile

Don’t you get taxed on checkout? Not the steam display page.

#4

Oh, right. Taxes. Taxes that only apply to the lowest of the prices and don’t apply to the highest. Taxes that doesn’t seem to apply to any other game whenever steam puts them on sale. Taxes that should apply on checkout, not on the steam display page.

BRO, YOU WON THE GOLD MEDAL OF THIS THREAD, GRATZ!

Hmm in that case, tax is a % right? so if the item price is 50% less, the tax is 50% less too?
No economics guy here, so clueless about these stuff

Convert the USD price to those currencies. 24.99

#11

Instead of baiting, why don’t you answer me why aren’t your “taxes” applying to USD? USD is $24.99, every single other country is not.

[/quote]Tried converting the CAD one. The non-discounted one is actually less than $50 o_O lol

#13

i guess this is due to the exchange rate different for lower price, say, there’s extra fee when converging one currency to another at bank

and… i tried to convert the UK one, what,
33.04 GBP =
47.346826 USD

#14

If you went to a grocery store and there was a sale for 50% for bananas. The tax at the cash register will be the same and won’t be reduced by 50%. Tax amount is controlled by the government.

If the price is slightly higher than it should be, it’s most likely because the actual tax amount is not applied yet for the current sale.

#15

becuz

CAD ≠ USD
USA ≠ CANADA
USA ≠ every single other country.

ughh. what happened to the quality of education. smh. bye felicia!

because of the exchange rate :slight_smile:

#16

When doing this, one should divide the $50 pack price by 50 to find the exchange rate used, then divide the discounted pack price by the exchange rate and find the amount it would be in dollars.

For Canada:

60.33/50 = 1.2066
31.71/1.2066 = 26.28 USD equivalency

$ 26.28 would correspond to $50 with 47.4% discount, as I listed.

Some of them do seem kind of off. Especially Euro

Others dont seem too off.

#18

So this thread concludes it ain’t a straight up math of 50% in display but there’s some tax, bank fee etc involved?

#19

I think steam won’t be using real time exchange rate, instead, probably an average exchange rate and plus some exchange fee

I’m thinking exchange store in airport as a similar example. they usually use worse exchange rate and ask for some flat fees

considering steam also need to convert all income into US dollar, this makes sense

#20

Steam uses their own exchange rates (which led to the exploiting incidents), IMC is using their own rates after changing non-USD too.
