Dear company,
Recently Valve (the owner of Steam Store – www.steampowered.com) has “localized” prices for European customers – prices of games in US dollars were converted to Euro at ridiculous $1=1€ exchange rate – this is more than 30% higher than the actual exchange rate (1$=0,75€).
This is how the situation looks now:
– some of those who complained about the price rise got banned from the official Steam Forums
– your company loses sales because of Steam prices being higher than retail
– Valve gets all extra money
– they give your games a bad name
– Valve is ignoring their customers’ cry for decent prices
– they didn’t even made any announcement or given any sign of their awareness of the problem
So could you, as a company, try to contact Valve and discuss the pricing issue? This would benefit a large group of European gamers, not to mention your company.

Still contains a few errors I believe (biggest one in the last line of the list, it’s either “they haven’t made” or “they didn’t make”):

I don’t think there is any good reason to include Cenega’s email addresses, since they are only a “localisation and outsourcing company”.
They only translate games into some European languages, and provide purely technical support only for those games, that’s all.

Done!
