The Steam store in Argentina and Turkey will start using USD, along with new regional prices for LATAM + MENA regions

I suspect piracy will become increasingly popular in these countries

It’s still a big increase in pricing iirc

Depends on what price the developer chooses and how stable the exchange rate between USD & the local currency is. If the currency gets weaker and weaker compared to the dollar, then the real price that locals are paying will go up.

And, I’m pretty sure that local inflation rates are the primary driver of this change. So, yeah, games will likely get more expensive as inflation continues & developers don’t constantly update the USD list price.
