Not steaming, just fuming

Come July, games distributed via Steam will face a 10% increase here in Australia. This is because of the Australian government's Goods and Service Tax.

As if games weren't already expensive enough here in Australia.

Really there isn't a lot i can say about this. It's a disappointment yes but considering Valve have made some bad moves in the past (getting chased down by the ACCC comes to mind), it's hard to paint them as the 'Good Guys' and the Australian Government as bullies.
Still at least there's always GoG....
