Update: The expected hike in Paradox games has arrived. Paradox said that they set a limit of 30% on price change, and Turkish lira prices changed at this limit.
We can say that the prediction I gave as an example in the original of the news was exactly correct. The price of Crusader Kings 3 increased from 77 TL to 99 TL, while the expansion pack Royal Court was 65 TL instead of 50 TL.
At a time when some publishers are moving out of local pricing after exchange rate changes and taking game prices to flight, this hike made by Paradox is actually a camel’s ear. I think they deserve a thank you for not giving up on local pricing.

The economy of our country, which is melting day by day, and the level of exchange rates are known to all of you. Some publisher companies have slowly given up on the low exchange rate offered by Steam and started to raise the prices of their games, one of the latest examples of this will be Paradox, which has a large player base in our country.
Paradox Interactive announced on their official forum that they would update the prices of their games. The date is about to come, because Paradox games will be hiked from May 23.
TL will also be affected by the changes in the exchange rates of currencies other than USD, EUR and GBP, which is officially approved.
Although Paradox says that “we have set a 30% limit on price change in general”, it also leaves the door open to higher hikes by saying “there may be small shifts from this”.
We will soon see to what extent prices will change. For example, let’s note Crusader Kings 3 as an example.
Currently, Crusader Kings 3 is sold for 77 TL. The price of the Royal Court expansion pack is 50 TL.
If they apply the 30% limit, the price of the game should rise to 100 TL and the price of the DLC to 65 TL. After three days, we will get the answer to this question we are wondering.
While there are Paradox discounts on Steam right now, if you have games you want to buy, let me say that it is the right time.
