Lojcs, 11 months ago to asklemmy in So all that brutalist architecture, what if we just painted it? Not one colour, patterns to break it up.

Those don’t look brutalist to me. I feel like brutalism calls for more than just grey blocks of concrete.

I hope they don’t expect people to actually pay in usd and instead offer the conversion themselves. Because I can’t imagine people maintaining usd credit cards just to purchase games from steam.

Otherwise, this could be a positive change as publishers can now set prices without the “what if the currency loses half its value tomorrow” insurance margin.

Edit: steamdb has a chart of the new regional pricing. It’s 50% higher than the current one for tl and 150% higher for peso.

They have savings accounts in dollars or pinned to the dollar, not spending accounts. But looking it up it seems tl credit cards can pay in usd + maybe a conversion fee so I guess it wouldn’t be such a deal breaker

I mean, someone needs to be thinking about it and perhaps even building infrastructure so it can be used once the grid is clean but it’s not something that should be in use
