Let me guess, only available for North Americans and maybe East Asia as usual. Fuck the rest of the planet, am I right?
I can understand frustration with a product not being available in your region, but wouldn’t the anger be better directed at the transportation companies pricing up int’l trade and governments with import taxes and such? I don’t totally understand the general sentiment that companies should sell products at a loss just to get it everywhere.
I’m not trying to defend companies or anything, I just never understand why they’re the first to blame.
I know this is unrelated to the post, but honestly I’m just frustrated whenever Steam sends or shows anything related to the Steam Deck to me. If I click on the damn link they show me it’s “lol you ain’t in the US, get fucked bozo, better luck next life”. Like, why even bother showing me ads? I can’t buy the damn thing and all it does is make me bitter.
should sell products at a loss just to get it everywhere.
Why to a loss? They should just sell it everywhere.
They don’t have a choice for some countries. If the item costs more to ship to somewhere than it is to make it, then by selling the item they are losing money and it makes no sense to sell.
