  • At this point I just lost hope to make you understand. One last chance: Italian man wants to buy Skyrim in Hungary and he is told he can't. That, under EU law is not allowed. That is geoblocking. That is against free trade in the EU. This is exactly the same as if you would tell Californian man he can't buy Skyrim in Mississippi.

    You don't want to understand, am I right? I don't get you.



  • Yes, it is a w. As I mentioned, they are free to sell their products at a lower price in certain countries but they can't tell someone from Italy that they can't buy their product in Hungary. I honestly can't understand someone who defends this practice.

    So someone from California can't buy products in Mississippi, that's just fair - or it's ok just because it's via the internet?

    Fuck geoblocking.


  • I guess. But that doesn't matter, it's against a prime EU principle - free trade inside the EU. They can offer their products cheaper in those countries but they can't tell other EU members not to buy there.

    I actually got in contact with zenimax about that issue 10 years ago and after some back and forth they just forwarded me to their legal team. And I sure made a complaint with the EU about it. I'm sure there were lots of complaints about that issue but I feel somewhat validated right now.
