I don’t really care what they do, I just want them to do ANYTHING. Either update the regional pricing more regularly or just get rid of the damned thing and let me pay in USD/EUR. There are some rare publishers that will actually go out of their way to manually set the regional pricing to make it reasonable but most of them just follow the default suggested Steam one leading to massively overpriced games. I’m Polish and at this point I only buy games on sales, the final price still often comes close to what the game would cost me in USD/EUR without any sale.

Edit: Valve themselves specifically says in their SteamWorks documentation on pricing for developers

All of these factors have driven us towards the commitment to refresh these price suggestions on a much more regular cadence, so that we’re keeping pace with economic changes over time.

and yet the prices remain the exact same since they introduced the Regional Pricing Recommendations in 2022.

This is a completely different thing, Steam is dropping support for 32bit operating systems. Fedora hasn’t had a 32bit release since version 31. What that proposal was about was dropping 32bit packages, which would break old 32bit games (and Steam itself, as it relies on a lot of 32bit libraries as well).

Don’t shoot the messenger, they’re just citing the “workaround” from the article. The article also mentions using uBlock but only after writing two paragraphs convincing you that Premium is totally the solution to go with.
