Canadian currency in Steam

by NickTheCanadianCore » Tue Oct 07, 2014 8:27 pm

So,
Valve made the Canadian fans a tad unhappy today.

http://www.hardcoregamer.com/2014/09/30/canadian-dollar-hits-steam-on-october-7/108608/
I don't know if there is any way to give us a break. For example, Counter Strike Global Offensive, which is 15$ right now, is 17$ in Canada. Far Cry 4 is 70$.

I know that is how they get money, but... idk is there any way to make my account Americanized again (change my profile location, hack Volvo's network)?

Exchange rates, m8.
I'm sure it gets confusing since they both use $
1 canadian dollar = 0.9 american dollars
so, 15 american dollars = 16.75 canadian dollars, round that up to 17, like they always do with everything.
You're not paying more, don't worry.
By putting things in canadian dollars, you don't have to worry about the conversion to US dollars.
Hope that helps.

I don't see the problem really, I thought Canadian bagged milk drinkers would be happy. :)
I dont even have my currency in steam :| , instead I have to use Euro €. 1 key cost about 1,79€ instead of 1,99$. And no its not cheaper cause the Euro is worth more, its just a smaller number in Euro.
It will still cost about the same so that link you got are not legit and are surprised that a site claims its gonna be more expensive. Like Fluff said Exchange rates matey ;)

Math currency example on todays currency for my PC. $3500 = 25113,20kr Dollar to Swedish Krona and in Euro it would cost €2766

Man that was what I suspected canadians to be, pirates and bagged milk drinkers, my dream was to travel to see real pirates and try out bagged milk, my dreams are destroyed now :lol: haha
And Volvo is still a car just like mine.

This is a Valve. They switch his eye out with a Valve, cause instead of ragequiting he can just open the valve to release pressure and then continiue gaming TF2. :lol:
