Looks like Arrowhead might be moving forward with PSN despite “internal discussions”.

Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia too. Not exactly developing countries.
They are also EU countries. I am not even sure it’s perfectly legal to sell stuff in the EU and not sell to residents of specific countries.
No harm no foul until somebody makes a report I guess.
It is very much not legal. The EU is a single market and goods (digital or not) must be able to move freely.
I am not sure whether they can get by saying “we sell to Latvians, just not in Latvia”. I mean regional pricing is still a thing here. I’m too tired to look it up now.
No regional pricing in the EU. There were lawsuits over that a couple of years ago.
EDIT: To be more clear, developers could use regional pricing in the EU but Valve is not allowed to block someone from say Sweden from buying something from Poland.
That sounds nice! Do you know which lawsuits were that? I’m interested in reading up on that. How does that work with different VAT rates?
