Yep, I'm just shouting out my country because it checks the boxes.

It's a country which isn't usually far behind to receive technology, but for some EU/EEA-reason, Steam doesn't really have Norway on the list of countries to include for physical products.

Also, we have a few third-party sellers with 50-100% markup, which is lovely.

But I'm sure it's similar elsewhere.

Sometimes the downside to robust consumer protections is that you don't get all the stuff. Norway has a guaranteed five year warranty that likely impacts profitability of compliance for some products.
