As far as you should know, valves price politic for europe (exluding the UK) isn´t fair. We have to pay 1€ for 1$.
In average we pay 38% more then people from the USA! http://www.steamrepowered.eu/ (here you can look up for the current difference and retail version prices!) So why we should pay 1€ for 1$. WE SHOULD NOT. This thread is here to discuse about valves price politic and to tell alternative that work and are better priced for europeans! http://steamunpowered.eu/ wrote 1. g2play http://g2play.net/ DRM (Digital Rights Management): not applicable Regional locks: no Seperate shops (different currencies): yes, in a positive way. This shop sells CD keys for games on Steam and other games. However, they're not regarded as licensed retailers (by VALVe) due to the fact that they do not ship the box itself, they just send you the keys on your mail. The prices are of course way lower than prices found on Steam. Left 4 Dead: 14.25 Euro, Orange Box: 11.26 Euro. 2. Good old Games http://www.gog.com/en/frontpage/ DRM: no Regional locks: no Separate shops (different currencies): no Good old classic games for a low price. Duke Nukem is on sale here for 6 USD! 3. Direct 2 Drive http://www.direct2drive.com/ DRM: yes Regional locks: yes Separate shops (different currencies): no Many different games, no separate shops. However, some games have regional locks, sadly those are the games that are most wanted (CoD:WaW, WH40K: DoW2 etc.). 4. Impulse http://www.impulsedriven.com/ DRM: yes Regional locks: can't find any Separate shops (different currencies): can't find any Few games (sadly), however, it is worth a look. ___________________________________________________________ However, lets discuss. If you have any shops that work, please feel free to post them. |

Turkey haven´t implemented the € yet, or I´m wrong?
Noone cares about that valve is unfair to europeans? |
