And? I didn't say you did. You see complaints about the price differences, etc pretty often. It has everything to do with taxes in those regions. If that can warrant complaint, then the first time a city tries to do something completely new that could affect video game prices, then it's noteworthy. |
You were replying to me and mentioned prices in Europe, so I thought you were assuming I live in Europe.
I thought consumption taxes were very common in US states and cities as the principle means for states and cities to get tax revenue. Shouldn't all video game prices be subject to those taxes in the states where consumption taxes are used? Doesn't seem like news to me that a consumption tax is being applied to a service when I imagine consumption taxes are being applied to other services in Chigago / Illinois. As people have observed, they already pay tax for their internet service, so it's not such a new phenomenon as people make out.
