Dear Sir or Madam,

I am ..., a gamer from Turkey and an avid Civilization fan with "1055" hours played on Steam.

As you might be aware, Steam included Turkish Lira as a currency along with Mexican Peso 2 days ago. I was very happy to see that the price of Beyond Earth (and many other titles on Steam) was reduced to 75 TL (~$30 - just as most games are cheaper in Russian market i.e.) and bought it immediately. Today when I logged to Steam, I was shocked to see that the price has increased even beyond the initial rate in US to 170 TL (~$75) which is incredulous to say the least. Please see this website for details : https://steamdb.info/app/65980/

I would also like to mention that this price is similar to what ARAL, the official distributor in Turkey, is placing on the label. Because of their unreasonable prices, for years the gamers in Turkey resorted to piracy and illegal downloads to enjoy games. With the advent of Steam, this trend has receded somehow, and we had great hopes that with the Turkish Lira on Steam along with favored prices, the revenues of game companies would see an overall increase in the Turkish market. But this last pricing stunt has ended such hopes.

So as a gamer, I plead with you to re-visit your pricing policies in Turkey. Even if you do not favor the Turkish market with cheaper prices ( such as Russia), at least allow the equivalents of international prices and do not let the thieving monopoly called Aral ruin the gaming culture in Turkey.

Best Regards,

Ha bide arala da bişeyler yapmak lazım.

Kesinlikle bu. Steam bir şey yapma hakkına sahip olmayabilir. Dağıtımcının sorunu bilmesi daha önemli.

Bunların kesinlikle yazışmaları mevcuttur Aral ve Ubi vs. arasında. Rekabet kurulu diye birşey var. Yarın ilk iş resmi başvuruda bulunuyorum. Gelen her yazılı başvuruyu inceliyorlar. Adamlar tekel ve dikte ediyorlar rakamlarını. O yazışmaları buldukları anda aral biter.

I've been a huge fan of Civilization games since I first played Civ 2 God knows how long ago.

Living in Turkey, games are ridicilously expensive here (CIV:BE is $75 right now). Insane, right? Luckily all those years we've had online retailers and Steam to save us from being analed by bullshit pricing. The culprit for all this is known as Aral Game (also called by its Aramaic translation "Satan's Armpit" in occult circles). Aral Game is the monopoly in Turkey, pricing games however they wish, making insane profits. When Steam first converted their prices into the Turkish Lira CIV was priced at 75TL, which made me very happy. I was going to buy 2 copies of the game, for me and a friend of mine.

Today I see that the game is priced at 175TL, with the pricing racked up into Aral levels of cuntery. At every single opportunity publishers moan about piracy, yet here I am, willing to buy TWO copies of the same game for two people living a bus ride away, and now you are pricing the game at a quarter of my rent. Screw my purchase. But you know what? I'm not even going to pirate it either. I am disgusted by this whole thing.

If Steam caters to those criminals who are desperate to rape our wallets, fine. We are not the bloody high rollers of the damned planet. We're normal people. Charge us the same bloody price.

Steam can bite my Turkish arse and go to hell.
