Almost similar to PayPal. You link your card and verify it. It takes couple of days I guess and make merchant payments using it via Skrill. Also you can load e-wallet with money via bank transfer or credit/debit cards and make payments using it. If I'm not wrong, they take some charge for loading.

Is it confirmed officially somewhere? When I search I get various results. One of which is below and says 23rd onwards. Nevertheless, pretty much excited this time.


Got the source:-

Steam Community :: Group :: Comunidade Jogos Brasil

Actually its saying 25th.

Did it automatically convert to INR? My wallet is still showing in USD.
Thing is i got .02 USD and was planning to convert it to INR. So if i add some wallet amount and make a purchase, it will permanently convert to INR right?
Also when checking out, it doesnt show wallet money. Do i need to have enough money to show up?

well my wallet balance during the change (ie when steam made the official switch )was 0.02 $ and it did get converted to around 1.32 rs,
and yes while you redeem the dollar wallet card, it will show how much you are going to get before you confirm

thing is my wallet got converted to INR without any purchase!, why isnt yours? afaik thats the case with people i know

I got some issue with my region. Had the problem after using Hola and redeeming wallet code. Was never able to fix it, hoping it will be solved after purchasing with INR wallet. I'm able to use the Indian store though.

Okay, this is probably the strangest thing possible! As a couple of people mentioned, their ICICI debit cards were working on Steam. Mine wasn't. I thought I was putting in the wrong information, so I retried yesterday after thoroughly checking the card details.

You know the result I got? It works if I add Rs 500 to my steam wallet but not if I add 250 :shock:

I haven't tried Rs 1000 yet because I don't have any games to purchase currently. These online payments systems are strange.

EDIT: It is VISA Platinum btw.

Even with Axis Bank Titanium Debit Card(Mastercard) Rs 500 transaction to steam wallet is going through while 250 isn't. It is indeed very strange but I am happy that at least something is working.

Yeah 250 is bugged. Both my International CC and DC falied with 250.

But normal purchase of ₹10 worked

I always just load a lot money into my wallet and when their is a good sale price, I know the funds are immediately available, instead of putting in my card details every time.

On the other hand I keep my wallet as low as possible to avoid the urge to get every other game on a deep sale.

the witcher series is priced in rupees,and available again. witcher 3 is Rs1179(18$),which seems to be the lowest price for any region.
also,transformers devastation is also available now,and is actually 0.06%(50 rs) costlier.
seems most major games are now available,but a lot are still not back.

Lol witcher 3 + expansion pass on steam is cheaper than expansion pass alone on GoG. I have Witcher 3 on GoG. :(

Why don't you buy the 125$ Witcher collection on GoG.

I regret buying it on GoG. I fkin hate GoG. So buggy.
Even I would like to buy it off steam, but there was no way anyone could have known that steam was going to implement the Indian rupee on steam and regional pricing 6 months after the release of the damn game.

Anyway no regrets I got an authentic Witcher 3 T shirt. I even sent an email to CDPR saying they should ditch GoG and use Steam like everyone else.

Monopoly of any sort is actually bad. Let cdpr try to overtake valve (though the chances of that are extremely low)

Pretty damn low. Collection of games is poor and client is trash.

I always buy multiple copies of CDPR games out of support. Good thing I bought the retail (gog) and Steam versions :).

Lol, you don't need gog client to play witcher 3 (only download). Its DRM free, that's the purpose of gog. Moreover cdpr owns gog, so not using their own client to giveaway a game DRM free makes no sense.
