Huh... Epic Games Store is now listing prices in my local currency. That was a surprise.
Steam still uses Euro prices for Romania, and I'm guessing the rest of EU, GOG uses USD. But Epic somehow got everyone else beat, in actually using the correct currency for my country.
Don't really know if it's worth the hassle on their part, as Euro is far more stable as a currency than our local RON, but whatever.

Honestly, it's a bit foolish of them. Unless they're prepared to constantly adjust the prices in RON, they're gonna lose money, cause our currency is in a constant downward trend compared to the Euro or USD.
But from a consumer point of view, it is generally preferable to see the prices in the currency you're most used to. Seeing a game cost $60 doesn't impact a Romanian quite the same as seeing it cost 240RON.

If I actually cared, I would probably follow the price of a couple of games for a month and so, and track if/how the price changes in relation to exchange rates. But ... meh... not really worth the effort.
