    I hope they don’t expect people to actually pay in usd and instead offer the conversion themselves. Because I can’t imagine people maintaining usd credit cards just to purchase games from steam.

    Otherwise, this could be a positive change as publishers can now set prices without the “what if the currency loses half its value tomorrow” insurance margin.

      I mean… If the currency is that unstable… I would expect people doing that and having accounts with dollars or euros, saving money in a currency that moves more than a rollercoaster it’s not great.

        They have savings accounts in dollars or pinned to the dollar, not spending accounts. But looking it up it seems tl credit cards can pay in usd + maybe a conversion fee so I guess it wouldn’t be such a deal breaker
