Notice A notice on ARX (17/09)

I read perfectly fine.

But you people keep opening up your applications from the UK telling me how things work here. It's not the same at all. Just like the other fellow that told me how much Steam charged for Cyberpunk when you can't even buy Cyberpunk here on Steam.

You'd might as well be looking out your window at the weather and simply assuming that the weather everywhere else on earth is exactly the same.

It is not. At all.

Again. It doesn't matter if you look at Cyberpunk or any other game. Please read what others say and try to understand it.
You can be upset about Frontier as much as you want. It doesn't change the fact that you are wrong and that it has been proven.

If you are from the US you pay $59,99 for a game. If you are from Argentina you pay $14 for the same game. That's not something Frontier invented, it is how it is. Stop blaming Frontier for something that is perfectly common.

My friend who lives in Florida has just opened his Steam and Cyberpunk 2077 is right there ready for purchase.

What you're doing is complaining that the weather where you are is different to the weather in Cambridge UK, and blaming FDev for the weather not being the same.

Uh huh. Sure. Sounds legit. Here it is. Right now. On my screen.

It is not there.

I frankly find it unbelievable that a US citizen can't pay in a foreign currency with their credit card! Sounds more like a 3:rd rate financially troubled or embargoed country. I don't want to call anyone wrong, but please do check again.. I mean that would exclude US citizens from so much as not everyone wants to sell in USD.
Here is what happens when I try to buy in Pounds:

I'll leave you guys to beat this dead horse even more. I'm out.

We can. This may be an issue limited to their specific bank.

You literally can buy Cyberpunk on Steam, here. I showed an image and everything and explained why you didn't see the search result properly.
 
Ah, so it's not your credit card provider, it's FDev that doesn't want to sell to you in GBP?

Maybe contact customer support to ask them as advised above?
That happens any time I do that anywhere. It's not FDev's issue. On a couple of occasions I've had it happen elsewhere and realized I was checking out in euros / pounds rather than dollars.

It is sort of odd that some of the largest, richest financial institutions on earth (Citibank & Chase, who my credit cards are with) don't do it automatically. I can only assume it's down to U.S. regulations and not them.

It does sound very weird! I assume that you can pay in a foreign currency if you travel abroad..

Maybe worth contacting your bank in order to understand what the exact problem is.
 
Helpful link, I believe Marvin does not have 'mature content enabled' set on Steam.

Anyway, to chime in on the actual topic: Fdev are not pulling anybody's leg with the Arx prices. They've set the price, it offers what says on the tin, there's no lootboxes or RNG or incremental resource accumulation or other scummy psuedo-gambling monetization schemes that are so prevalent everywhere else you look in the gaming world today; it's straightforward good business. And the skins even look pretty good in general.

If you want to try and jump through conversion rate holes to get a price more favorable to your personal dollar, there's multiple methods by which you are enabled to do so, free and clear. Paypal is not the only one, it's just the most widespread and accessible. Whatever their transgressions with the SEC are, they've never done anything wrong with my purchases.
