"Steam has been unfair for too long in the digital world, unfortunately.
Recently, Norway got its own region as they do not use euro as their currency, we don't do either.
Our currency is not euros, it's Romanian Lei (RON).
Steam also has has been unfair with the pricing, they never cared about the economy of a certain country, why is that?
In Europe, a newly released AAA title costs around 50-60€, in Russia and CIS-countries it will cost around 15-20€.
The source of piracy is the high prices Steam is asking us to pay.
I can give you a small example, let's take Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt (it's the same situation for pretty much all games), this is the price for it in some of the regions:
In Romania, 224 lei.
In Brazil, the equivallent of 141 lei.
In Turkey, the equivallent of 134 lei.
In Indonesia, the equivallent of 149 lei.
In Russia, the equivallent of 49 lei.
How is it fair? It is not!
Our average monthly wage is about 250 euros (around 1100 lei) per month.
Valve needs to understand we cannot afford to pay such amounts of money for games, and if they want to keep the Romanian community alive, they need to fix this problem.
We, the Romanian Steam Community are asking to remove us from the European Region as we don't use euros, and we are asking Steam to lower their prices as it is not fair for everyone."
