Those guys are getting a little extreme. But it's for a good cause.

For who needs to consider currency conversion and taxes over international purchases like me, it's not that simple. But yes, prices on Steam are usually very good.

I had to buy the CUBE pack on it's week sale for 20 bucks in the currency here in my country.

The pack was $9.99

Brazil, right? Yeah, prices usually double with currency conversion. And that's without the 6,5% of IOF tax that comes with it.

Tax? I bought some games through Steam and never got this tax...

Because maybe you've never bought something expensive enough for it to be noticeable. As I said, it's a 6,5% tax. If you pay 20 reais in game, it won't mean more than a few coins. It's easy to just get past it if you're not buying the latest Call of Duty.
