No more STEAM purchases for me

[Krym]

Anyone know of a place to buy games that doesnt support the US and it's tariffs ?

Digital games aren't going to be part of tariffs afaik, are they? Just physical products being imported into the country.

Have fun buying Switch 2 games, to bad you will not be able to complete your collection of games there, since half of them will come from the US.

When you buy a game you pay with your currency and in your region so you pay your country tax .

And even *if* digital game purchases are affected by tariffs. . . the Tariffs that Don-boy just threw all over the place would make games more expensive for US purchasers, not you.


(and I'm pretty sure Steam/Gabe/game devs/etc don't "support" the tariffs. Almost no-one outside the core cult members do.)

If you aren't going to buy from steam then don't post on steam and stop injecting your politics

Wait about a week and you won't have to worry about supporting the US, it'll be the UC(United Corporations)

Considering how many publishers and developers are american and that the US is one of the largest markets for games.. yeah I doubt such a store exists.

If you're looking for a European storefront, there's GOG. Or you could check isthereanydeal.com for other options.

OP you must be greatly misinformed, or greatly misunderstands how tariffs set, this has absolutely nothing to do with DIGITAL sales, that include games, software, and etc that DIGITAL.

Only PHYSICAL products are hit with tariffs that meant if you're in USA, and you're IMPORTS goods from another country that USA put tariffs on, you're hit with the tariffs, not the other way around, that how tariffs works. Let say you're from UK, so if UK put tariffs on USA for imports, that meant your OWN gov of UK is taxing you for importing from the USA.

Also buying games from Digital store is not supporting USA tariffs, so to put it simple, Steam, Epic, and etc are not part of whatever you think is going on, and not just that you forget there are LOT of games made in USA, so think about that for a moment,. Again ONLY physical goods are affected, not digital, unless stated otherwise.

GOG is still the best

Digital goods won't be affected by tariffs. If you just want to support a non-US company though, GOG is Polish.

Is google not available where you are at? I mean you are after all asking on the very platform that you are attempting to avoid.

I understand tariffs. I understand that the Americans pay it and not me. It is simply a tax on them to punish them for buying non-USA. And yes I know this 10-50% increased tax on themselves is what they voted for...

However, USA has placed a tariff to make it harder for my country (Australia) to export goods there. Hence Australia is encouraging Australians to stop buying US goods. The only US goods I buy are digital so this is my response.

I am not going to try and educate these guys on the benefits of free trade as clearly logic is not their forte.

As to posting on STEAM - no irony there. Do you really think Gabe will read an email if I send it direct?
