Valve’s popular digital distribution store Steam has refreshed its price suggestions as of late (via Steam db).

  • CIS – U.S. Dollar
  • Costa Rican Colon
  • Israeli New Shekel
  • Kuwaiti Dinar
  • Singapore Dollar
  • South Asia – USD
  • U.A.E. Dirham

Here is the price inflation for Southeast Asian countries for the commonly-used price tiers:
