I'm pretty much sure that they had 60$ = 60€ kind of regional prices.

yes it is, in fact it would be much better experience if properly supported if nothing else because Linux can be modyfied into anything, though free community driven Linux is preferable to Sony's closed system.
Then you have endless infighting because today people feels one way and tomorrow the other way.
People in developed nations have typically something called school attendance by law. + extra math or whatever they are bad at. (aside from US) AFAIK. That is because they figured out that if kids don't go to schools, they don't get standardized education or any education at all and that often lead to poor country in few gens.
Yet concept of "feeling" to make the decision is accepted. I see few problems with it. 1st mood change. 2nd everyone feels different. 3rd anthropomorphism . 4th feelings change much faster than scientific progress.
Well i still find it much worse deciding based on feelings than lets say based on level of cognition or consciousness of fetus by properly defined and tested rules.
I agree. Corporations are indeed similar to communist planned economy model in this regard. Free market is not. People vote with they wallets after all. Stop paying half eaten apple if you hate their practice. Stop paying for certain OS if you can get community developed Linux etc... in the end It's about people weighting their comfort vs making things better.
Sometimes state has to help them by regulations. But Free market is still way better then commies.
What do you mean by this?
doing regional pricing would be a massive headache if that were true
Aren't games regionally priced like forever ? I've buying key's in GB because they are cheaper. Also Doesn't steam lock you out of your games if you bought US version and travel to the other side of the world? I just vaguely remember people complaining about it.
But you have to give Valve credit for supporting Linux gaming witch if gets popular enough will create perfect competition for Windows. imagine system that requires 1GB or RAM instead of 4-5GB when idle , that doesn't spy on you and is more secure. Perfect for gaming IMHO if taken seriously.
Used to have similar problem with Steam back in the day.
Edit: I like how some people disagree that i experienced something by downvote. It's not like i can change it or something 😅 👌
It's like building the wall around neighborhood you dislike for their opinions. So yeah its silencing them in sense of preventing them to speak with your part of the city but of course they can talk to themselves.
Point is they get to be isolated in their bubble, so will you . Instead we should learn to think for ourselves and they would be helped back into reality by information outside their bubble.
