boring real news

They say the peso and lira were too unstable and prices were being changed too often, so Valve just told devs to start setting prices in USD at "regionally appropriate" rates. I am not aware of Gaben's opinions on Argentinian politics, thankfully

this resolves a major internal conflict for me. i always bought games to support the developers and always drm free, from gog or humblebundle or itch.io. the thing is games were a lot cheaper on steam, so i always had a second thought to buy them on steam, to save some money. i never did but thanks to this decision i will never even consider that anymore.
