Steam uses a regional pricing model, which means Half-Life can cost significantly more or less depending on where you buy it. Publishers set different prices for each country based on local purchasing power — regions like Turkey, Argentina, and India typically have much lower prices than Western Europe or North America. Currency exchange rates, local taxes, and market competition also play a role. This is why Half-Life can cost $3.66 in one country and $13.40 in another. Comparing prices across all regions helps you find the best deal available.
