Due to USD conversion rates dropping and the fact that Steam has its own rates, developers from the rest of the world lost quite a lot over the last year. Even if they get $1000, its value is drastically lower than the year before. And they get much less in their local currencies (which also have their own inflation).

Valve is no longer able to launch Steam Machines in time and yes, memory prices will affect the whole thing.

Marathon just reached the 4th spot among top sellers on Steam, while Rainbow Six Siege lost letter X in its name and now (freaking how?) on the third spot.

Apparently, gamers are not getting wiser...

Years ago Valve locked Polish prices to their internal conversion rates. Which by default makes prices in Poland literally the most expensive in the world. Despite that the salaries in the country are far lower than in Western Europe.

If you are making an indie game, set the Zloty price manually, don't use the default one.

And after just a few days Crimson Desert reviews turned to 73% positive and the score keeps growing. A lot of people discuss that they have learned how to play and it is getting better over time.

Haters gonna hate though

Crimson Desert and Slay the Spire 2 are still the best selling paid games of the week. Kind reminder that media believed Crimson Desert is aiming for a failure.
