    Your entirely unhinged laws are why everything costs twice as much there.

    If the steam deck dies after a year, 99.9999999% of the time, it’s because of you. The lifespan of a mobile electronic device is almost entirely a product of how it is treated. The Deck is built like a tank and can take heavy abuse. Warranty service is not life span, and longer default warranties on consumer electronics literally always mean that responsible customers are charged extra, up front, to subsidize idiots.

      Not at all to do with us being a small population island nation in the arse end of the world. And electronics prices are almost at parity these days between the two countries (6.52% cheaper in US).

      You’ve got weak rights and protections as a consumer, and you don’t even have cheap prices like they do in China to justify it. That’s gotta be embarrassing.
