Auric Cells price - Argentina

After the Argentine Steam currency change from Peso (ARS) to USD, Auric Cells packs are extremely more expensive.


Before: 500 = 420 ARS (1.18 USD) 🔰 Now: 500 = 5 USD (1.784 ARS)

1100 = 840 ARS (2.35 USD) 🔰 1100 = 10 USD (3.570 ARS)

2250 = 1680 ARS (4.71 USD) 🔰 2250 = 20 USD (7.140 ARS)

4025 = 2940 ARS (8.24 USD) 🔰 4025 = 35 USD (12.945 ARS)

6000 = 4195 ARS (11.75 USD) 🔰 6000 = 50 USD (17.850 ARS)

12500 = 8390 ARS (23.51 USD) 🔰 12500 = 100 USD (35.700 ARS)


Please consider lowering the price, as it is beyond the country's reality to pay these prices.

    I also made a suggestion about this. I'm from MENA.

    A regional pricing is being used on Steam Store for Chapters but with Auric Cells they dropped the suggested regional pricing used prior to the Steam currency change and it's just the original USD value now. This creates a big gap between Chapter vs. AC costs. You could purchase almost 3 Chapters instead of a single outfit (1100 AC) in my currency right now and they cost the same which doesn't make sense. I want to keep supporting the game but AC is very unrealistic for my region to purchase on Steam atm.

    I hope they really consider this.

    Regional Pricing can be really tricky for games, I hope BHVR can fix this but I dont know much about pricing games on Steam so Idk what is/isnt possible.

    For a very long time DBD was already using regional pricing for different regions both for Chapters and Auric Cells purchases. There was a big Steam change that required devs to manually adjust their prices to "suggested/regional" pricing and if they didn't Steam would automatically reflect the original price. Thankfully DBD updated the Store prices to reflect the suggested regional prices but I'm assuming they didn't check the AC costs so it's just the standard USD value for LATAM and MENA which makes it very expensive for some regions. That's how I could sum this situation up.🙂

    That's interesting. Again, I dont know too much about it, but thank you for the explanation, it helped.

    I live in the US, so I (fortunately) never really have to deal with this since USD, Euro, and ASD have really standard prices for my region.
