Steam To Support Canadian Dollar From October 7

When it comes to our neighbors who happen to live in the Great White North, it is nice to see what is available over in the US also being made available there. Having said that, we did read about how Google Glass will be released in Canada soon, not to mention Spotify launching in Canada, so why does it not surprise us one single bit when we hear about how Steam will add support for the Canadian Dollar this coming October 7th?

Yup, true to their word, Steam will definitely go through on previous plans that will see the introduction of support for the Canadian Dollar. So far, Steam has already sent out emails to Canadian members in order to advise them that when October 7th rolls around on the calendar, their local currency will be supported.

One would think that this particular bit of news would bring about joy for those who happen to live in Canada – apparently not. Several Canadian users aren’t too happy with this development, as just like in Australia and Europe, Canada tends to slap on a “location tax”, where both games and technology fields tend to fetch prices which are higher compared to having to go through some currency conversion process.
