Steam region changing / Adding funds - SiIIy - Oct 29, 2023
So from what i've seen around Turkey, and Argentina won't be viable in the future, but what about something like Ukraine, or South Asia?
As far as setting up an Anonymous VCC, NO KYC etc..
Such as to avoid paying crazy to reload with gift card or something like that.
Just major that I am able to get the card un market locked.
Wondering if anybody has experience doing this or thoughts in the coming months as far as this method.

From what I've heard, at least Turkey will have their currency changed to dollars in November or something like that. It's very likely that other countries will have the same faith.

Yeah I had seen that, but places like South Asia with their USD based pricing still have very high discounts.
So might try to figure something out for that region if possible.

Would be interesting to know which regions won't have their currency changed to dollars after an upcoming update.

Yeah why I figured South Asia is a safe bet because, they have already made the change from what it looks like.
Also could ARG, and Turkey still have lowest prices in their region afterwards lol like would it bring it down that much?

I assume so on steamDB they show " South Asia - USD " and it's still marked down 60 percent or something like that.

It is just not worth the hassle of region changing any more.

It still might be worth, but certainly not as much as previously.

Yeah but see I don't wanna do it for my main account, I'm more interested in other methods I have thought up. I just need to go ahead and say fuck it and do it or put it in motion was just trynna get more info on what folks was doin nowadays.

"LATAM - USD (which includes Argentina) and MENA - USD (which includes Turkey)"
These regions will be converted to USD but it will still offer regional pricing. It is still going to be cheaper than most regions, just not as much as before.

Well now that I think about it, having an alt account in a better region could be a viable option. Then you just gift the games you want to your main!

You can't gift games or items from one region to another that has different currency. My turkish account cannot gift things to my Europe friends for example.
