Australia's Steam prices are about to get worse

Anyway, I predict this will have little effect on street price of Steam games. I think market pressures will more or less force Valve and the publishers will wear this out of their already inflated Australian margins. If not, well there are plenty of other outlets for Steam keys.

I don’t know, I could see this happening for AAA games with regional pricing, where we’d pay (yet never do as who would) $80-$90 USD. But if you were an indie developer, why would you absorb 10% when your game isn’t even for sale on in-store shelves and you don’t care if your customers purchase the game from steam or GMG or wherever?
