Im wondering should i buy google play gift card and do in gow purchase from android, or should i do buy a gift card for steam and do the gow purchase from there?
the differences:
in google play both the gift card and gow purchase is done in polish currency (PLN)
in steam the gift card is purchased in PLN - but then steam will either recalculate it to euro or £ or leave it in pln (i have no idea didnt do that ever yet, for now it displays me 0£) and then the gow purcahse from steam will be done via euro
my main concern is will i pay more using either of the choices? (considering only the amount taken for gow purchase )
Honestly I don’t know the answer for this properly. But when I was in Japan and had the prices in Yen on the playstore, but (I assume US)$ on Steam the prices weren’t exactly equivalent, due to exchange rates. I believe the prices themselves are set by the publisher, albeit with some input from IP2. My guess is they have a base (eg weapon packs are $5 USD) and convert to a foreign currency from that for google play prices.
In short, I don’t know which is cheaper, but if you want to be sure exactly how much you’re paying, go with the Google Play one.
It charges you in Euro - at least that’s what happened to me. Then your bank converts it using their exchange rate and commission. I’m talking about credit card charging here.
