So is like 98% of software in Australia pirated or do you just fly to Japan whenever you need to buy a game?

The first one, Australia has one of the highest rates of online piracy in the world. It seems getting ripped off in price so consistently removes the guilt of piracy for some reason...

And now they're going to try and gently caress us with a mandatory 10% surcharge on all overseas online purchases that can't actually be properly enforced. loving genius, that one.

What is it with Australia and their hilarious VAT on games? Is it because the government frowns upon people who would rather play violent video games than participating in barbies with fellow Bruces or what.

They did propose buying one for me in return, but I would then end up getting the grey one since they have the neon one.

That's the fun part; there is no VAT, it's just the companies making GBS threads on us because, um

they can? or they could, since we can now easily go around them on the switch store :shrug:

I think we have a higher average income or something so they try to bilk us for all they can or something? Pretty sure it's something stupid reason like that.

Don't forget they all collectively pout and scratch their heads in official discussions over trying to figure out why Australians all buy poo poo online instead of at retail whenever possible.

Yeah, a quick google puts our average at somewhere around 50% higher. The fun part is now that the internet exists it's very hard to hide the fact that the US/UK/Aus versions have massive price disparities, since there's literally no difference in the software in 99% of cases and it's trivial to look up.

It never ceases to amaze and amuse the complete lack of grasp on reality they have with understanding why people work so hard to get around their stupidity.

Just finished 3-starring Puyo Puyo Tetris adventure mode for a total of 130%. Surprisingly, I didn't have as much trouble with the bonus worlds as I did with the (otherwise) last world. In fact, the last level took the most tries out of the last set of worlds just because my opponent wouldn't stop dying before I could get the point requirement.

Given what people were saying in the thread, I expected to have a lot more trouble.

gently caress Fusion mode, though.

It'd also make you a pretty big target, so it may be balanced if you tried to abuse such a thing.
