Steam does a lot of good stuff, and they remembered that the third world exists. It's annoying looking at prices on other stores and seeing a game cost 10 - 20% of my country's average monthly income.

Honestly I just missed the existence of that one 😅

We get SOME things right.

Yeah those are the options I can think of.

I also second OpenStars point about making downvotes open info instead of the currently semi-public info that it is.
