Thank you IMC for the prices

General Discussion

So, after many topics, I feel that this time I really have to thank you guys for this.

You don’t know this (or yes?), but for us, europeans, many of the publishers are just converting $ to € 1:1. This is a huge difference, and honestly, we got used to it and we are always preparing that way.

This is actually the first time I see, that somebody care about that thing and take the time to convert that fairly.

I really appreciate that!

Ps.:
I hope you delay the release that much cause you prepare a magnificent Eu server to us. :slight_smile:

You have Valve/Steam to thank for this, though. They’re responsible for this, not IMC

Hm, I think this is related to IMC, cause most of the time Steam is converting prices 1:1. Most of us very angry about this fact cause if a game costs 50$ in US , we have to play 50€ in Eu. :frowning:

They had a choice whether or not to use steam’s framework though, that said many people were pretty damn critical of not having regional pricing.

#5

Hm, how comes that 9.99$ is = 9.99€ ? The rest of the prices were converted but not this one?

@STAFF_Ethan @Staff_Julie

Is that a bug or intended?

#6

Again, it’s up to Valve/Steam. And their standard conversion for $9.99 is €9.99. IMC has no say in this and can’t help it

#7

Hey @Athem,

As @nuriomarayana mentioned, the conversion rates are in the hands of Valve.

Signed,

Valve is responsible for the conversion. I was expecting a world currency exchange but I guess not. Basically, if you live in an area where your money has a higher/same value than USD, you will get 1 to 1 exchange but in lower currency value such as Brazil, Singapore, Malaysia etc. They adjusted the price to make it more affordable.

Not really sure but it’s around $5 for them.

Epic fail.

Most pc gamers knows this.

#10

Hm, as far as I went with games it was always 1:1 $ -> €.

My bad then… :slight_smile:

#11

Not 100% true. They convert the price correctly, then add some % for conversion costs, and then round up to the nearest euro (minus one cent).

For 50 dollars, that makes 46 euros, for 30 dollars that makes 28 euros, and for 10 dollars that sadly makes 10 euros.

Get off that high horse. It’s no “epic fail” to not know something like this

#12

I see.

Well gotta make money somehow. If the numbers were big, they would convert it as you said but since 10 Euro is probably nothing but a small change, they keep it that way.

But still, they proved me wrong as I thought they would use the world currency exchange. I believe 50 USD is around 44 Euro?

#13

Yeah, that’s where the % conversion cost comes from. They add about 5% of the price as cost for converting from euro to dollar

#14

Sorry dude, I shouldn’t just said that.
