What is the problem ? Your invoice will show you , or should show you, in the end , what it will cost you in Euros .
If you use : Paypal , credit card or any other way , it should show you the conversion , just before accepting , what it will cost you in Euros .

For me, currency depends on the language in Launcher. But switching is not immediate, it takes may be 10-15 min.

Same as for me. And by living in Sweden it's often marginally cheaper to choose dollars over euros.fantamichele wrote:If you buy from the site it shows you $, if you buy from Steam it shows you €

Correct me if I'm off here, but I thought when you initially set up your preferences and chose your language/country, does it change things like the store to your equivalent currency? Or does it just translate the words? I thought you could purchase 2 ways as USD or Euros? I'm pretty sure through steam, you convert your national currency and some people have gotten super buys on EM based on location. I had a friend get stupid good deals on EM because of the country he lived in.
Current exchange is 1Eu to $1.23 so good buy that way.

Just never ever buy through steam. Those criminals charge a 1 on 1 conversion of usd to euro. Which is an absolutely ridiculous rip off when u live in europe. Always buy through the devs site. The usd will be changed to the correct eur value when u go to payment - and u support the devs directly cause i am damn sure thundercunt steam charges a good amount of their ripoff values from the developers for using their portal.

If I buy 500 em$ through steam it will cost me 4.99€ which equals in Swedish crowns 50,90.
If I buy through the launcher on the website http://www.thehunter.com I will be charged in USD.
So 500 em$ goes for the same amount; 4.99$, which equals 41.24 Swedish crowns.
That's a rather big difference percentage, almost 20%.
Conclusion: Buy from the website launcher. It's obviously a no-brainer.
