New regional pricing on Steam

13. May 2026

About a month ago Steam announced Updates to Pricing Conversion Tool. This introduces a new pricing conversion method: Purchasing Power Conversion. This method takes local purchasing power into account and adapts pricing accordingly. It reduces the price by more than 50% for certain regions like South America and Asia.

Therefore I updated the price for my game for most The price remains the same in Europe with 10€ and the US with $10. It has been reduced in countries like Brazil from R$ 33,00 to R$ 25,00. Also in Indonesia the price has been reduced from Rp 91 000 to Rp 50 000. I chose this two as example, because currently over 50% of downloads on Android come from there.

You can see the pricing in you region directly on Steam. How the game is priced in other regions is visible on SteamDB.

Fair full number pricing

I manually adapted the suggested pricing of 9.99 to 10, so to have a full number. This was made in all currencies, to have a full number pricing, where possible. This was already the case before this update.

I simply don't like the .99 pricing method of tricking buyers into seeing a lower price. For this game, I can set the price on my own and therefore chose to go against this trend.

Price changes after Early Access

The game is still in Early Access on Steam and a lot of development is in progress. I plan to finish v1.0 of the game this year around November, with all main features implemented. The game will still get updates and new features after that date. Once v1.0 is out, I might update and increase the price for the game. I think about something between 15€ to 20€, or a 50% to 100% price increase in your region.

I'm still not sure if I will do this, but I think this amount is a fair price. Especially if considered that the game is Open Source and can be played for free on other platforms. By buying the game on Steam you support my work and allow me to do this full time.

Another option could be to add an empty "Donation DLC" to Steam and keep the price the same. This would allow players that really like the game to support my work even more.

Let me know what do you think about this changes on social platforms or at info@99managers.org. Is it too much or too little? I would love to hear your feedback and if you would support this price adaptions for v1.0.

Every feedback is welcome
