Valve fails to get out of paying its EU geo-blocking fine::Valve has failed to convince a court that it didn’t infringe EU law by geo-blocking activation keys, according to a new ruling.
I think applying traditional economics to this situation is wrong. Games are digital goods so beyond translation and maybe some regional censorship, there isn’t much additional cost to sell at a discounted price in lower income countries. If anything, being able to sell the same product in lower countries would lower the cost in higher income countries.
