right… here you go.
anyway, I’ll leave this here again.
have a good day 
and listen to your teachers next time
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
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
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
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.
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 
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.
So this thread concludes it ain’t a straight up math of 50% in display but there’s some tax, bank fee etc involved?
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
Steam uses their own exchange rates (which led to the exploiting incidents), IMC is using their own rates after changing non-USD too.
nah, i think steam can use either currencty exchange rate or steam version regional exchange rate. so i doubt it’s imc’s issue.
i think what imc did is they told steam: the price is $25, convert it to other currency using currency exchange rate, not the regional rate you developed. then steam did this 
Hm… The exchange rate for dollar in Brazil, for instance, is 1:3,6.
50 x 3.6 = 180, but our $50 pack is 170.83. It’s using 1:3,41 as conversion, and we haven’t seem this exchange rate in a while. 
Since it’s a weird - and lower - exchange rate, I’m assuming IMC is using their own rates.
well it’s also possible
it’s weird that usually they should make sure the 50% discount is correct for each region. i don’t think imc is doing this on purpose, might just due to some weird conversion method
Probably. I created this thread for statistic purposes so people can know how much discount they’re actually getting, but so far no one posted their country’s prices. 
The ones who posted here are mostly from murrica so

On Brazil, the 50% discount made the price go nearly back to the price before readjustment.
