I know, right? That is some frickin Lord Farquaad shit. What a dickhead!

I’m totally adding that back into my vocab now 😂

Wish it could sound more like Farquaad, but maybe that on its own is a good enough one. Kinda rolls off the tongue

DebatableRaccoon, do gaming w 'Today is the end of Steam': Argentina and Turkey floored by new Steam price hikes as high as 2900%

Looks like Steam just became a service issue.

vxx,

Looks like those countries have a currency issue with hyper inflation.

Por que no los dos?

Gabe should have just fixed those countries currency issues instead obviously

SheeEttin,

Valve did have a staff economist, but he left to become finance minister for Greece. (He didn’t last very long in either position.)

This is a tempest in a teapot.

Steam ended pricing in those currencies and reverted the prices to USD without local adjustment.

Any developers who want to sell in Turkey or Argentina will set a local price in USD.

This really only affects older/abandoned games where the developer never updates pricing. Those games will be left charging US prices in poorer countries.

BananaTrifleViolin,

Yeah it's a nonsense. Argentina and Turkey have atrocious economies, with inflation at crazy levels. Turkey's is at 60% and Argentinas is at 143% currently, on a background of years of terrible economic decisions. Their local currencies are effectively trash so it makes absolute sense for Steam to move to dollars if they're going to continue bothering trading in those countries.

I’m from Argentina, the prices we have now are absolutely ridiculous even with the LATAM USD, an Argentinian might have a monthly income of something around 250-350USD, and some games are something along the lines of 40USD even with the regional pricing, you need to add to that the fact that there is a tax on the dollar of 155%. I assume a normal person from the US earns something along the lines of 1500-3000USD a month, so it’s completely incomparable. To give you an idea, physical retro collectible games are cheaper than virtual ones.

Not a single game out and they are already ruining several studios...

The race to the bottom for you is how I get to the top. See we all win at something.

Are they having a hard time embracing it?

All I want is bayo 2 on pc. I got the first one and went to get the second after enjoying the shit out of it but it’s owned by nintendo now so I should go fuck myself I guess

*The end for steam in those countries.

Either they will pony up the cash or resort to piracy. But in regards to the second option: All publishers and storefront loose without regional adjusted pricing for the regions.

"It doesn't work like in Dragon Ball, where Goku fuses with other characters," continued Kamiya, "Two people with completely different personalities and ideas would clash. There's no way you'd get a decent game of that."

bionicjoey,

It’s an interesting idea. I think sometimes two different creative people collaborate on something you can get something greater than the sum of its parts. But it all depends on the specific people and whether they have a shared vision for the art they’re creating together.

Even_Adder,

The guy’s a turd on Twitter. I think he’s just not-so-secretly just not a great guy. There’s probably a good reason he got fired.

echo64,

Everything he’s ever made was a collaboration between him and other creative people, he’s just being big headed about himself

@Zehzin@lemmy.world avatar

But for the Fusion Dance to work in Dragon Ball both users have to be perfectly in sync or you get a bad fusion, he should have specified it doesn’t work like the Potara fusion. smh get your lore right

Ok, now I want a Kojima, Kamiya, Yoko Taro and Toriyama colab

Thats a weird way of saying you don’t want to work wirh Kojima. Its fine but, a lot of this made up stuff can made up vibe together. Bayonetta was dope in Smash Bros.
