Gaming in Latin America

Aaahhh, why is everything so expensive here? Why do we have to pay digital taxes? Why are games $80 or $100 now? Why do videogame companies neglect Latin America? Why are PC parts so expensive?

Truly the worst place to be a gamer

It's pretty crazy, even more in Argentina, thankfully I have an international card so I avoid paying the tax, but with it, I would just become a piratefag again

taxes for being stupid and havig shit taste

>beaner int threads
"Aaahhh" is right

just pirate everything, all the vidya import taxes are gonna go to some cunt politicans yacht, fuck off with that shit

Who doesn't pay taxes on digital shit?

The only products not taxed here are necessities - bread, milk, fresh meats, cartons of eggs, toilet paper, etc. Oh, and for some reason cold food service shit. I have no idea why it matters if your pizza was put in a box directly for you or a cooler before you come along and pick it up but apparently for some reason it does.

Problem is that Latin american taxes are among the highest in the whole world, in Argentina we have a 30% tax JUST for buying something online, and on top of that we also have the extra tax you are talking about which is 21%.

And as a reminder, the living cost in Argentina is of about 300$ US Dollars per month.

piratechads

with as much as they pay in taxes i assume social services are top notch?

HA funny

I only play retro games so I don't care about games prices

HAHAHAHA. Nah, our healthcare is "free" but its utter garbage, college education is also free, which is cool, but the problem is that everyone and their mother caught of that, and many people from all over the world literally just come here to leech of that, get a surgery/a degree and then fuck off back to their country. Not to mention the absolute cancer which is importing something from outside the country.

>Inmediately start saving more and more money in USD
>Also start saving some side money in USD for a Switch
>Save 450 burgers
>Buy a Switch and two games
>A few days after buying the Switch, government announces they are taxing a lot of digital services
>Digital games and imported physical games are now around 70 bucks
Yeah, having games in this region is fucking shitty. Now I know how Aussies feel like when they complain.
SE LOS ADVERTIMOS
PERO NOOOO
TENGO QUE VOTAR POR EL EQUIVALENTE CHAVISTA DE ARGENTINA MAMÁ

This also applies to Mexico

I honestly gave up all hope for this shitty ass country, I voted blank past elections, if my current job wasn't so profitable and comfy for me I would legit move out.

>wake up
>still in Latin America
Get me out of this hellhole. This shit is getting worse

I don't have this problem in chile

> living cost in Argentina is of about 300$ US Dollars per month
All that goes to rent, basic services and cheap food in the cities. Good luck buying clothes with that shit.

Yes you do, you're still fucking poor you mongoloid, at least your neighboors have some dignity

>the living cost in Argentina is of about 300$ US Dollars per month
Yeah, and the minimum wage is like 120
What is your point, exactly? Do you think everybody in Latam makes the same minimum wage than in the US?
How fucking dense are you?

I work remote and make 3000CAD/mo

Here in Argentina is worse man
15% iva
plus 21% more for international taxes
the switch its around fucking 40k pesos which is 561 dollaridos
i wanted to buy a 3ds for my birthday next month just to discover that it went from 8k to 15k pesos (200 dollars) and its an already used one! I mean i can still buy it but iy huuurts

Aquí ser un gaymer es un lujo. La pobreza en esta parte del mundo es impresionante.

Lo siento que eres pobre, yo aquí disfrutando con mi Ps4 y Switch. También estoy empezando con la PC gamer. Aprende inglés, te ganas fácil como 18,000 o 20,000 a la semana en México.

>16.000 pesos is the minimun wage
>3.000 goes to internet (fucking telecentro)
>electricity can go up to 5k or more
>that without counting gas, taxes,school (if you have kids or are one) debts and more
>its fucking hard to find a job that pays more than the minimun wage
>we have the longest quarentine now on phase 1 again (total quarentine you cant even get out your house and only essentials are allowed on the streets)
>the president is gifting 10k pesos to everyone and ignoring the huge ass debt Argentina has
kill me Venezuela here we goo

Yeah, and I happen to be the son of a Nigerian prince who just died and left everything to me

>Aprende inglés
dude, user is in an english speaken animu imagenboard.
he probably already speaks english, maybe you are rich but you dont seem like the sharpest guy around

>huge ass debt Argentina has
That debt is to be paid in 100 years dude, that's not really an urgent issue

Can't you just set your location to a taxless county in the United States? Works on the Switch eShop anyway.

it is for the economy on the country man
we really shouldnt look away from our responsabilities
its the fucking 9th time we go on default man, its fucking pathetic

Argentinos putos, España master race.

Porque hablan en ingles retrasados (mucho no conectan mas de 3 palabras)

SUCKERS

Lo que el chileno puso esta bien, pedazo de bobo

>$300
How does it feel knowing I can get your monthly wage working four hours?

Personally I have respect for Brazilians and the one Guyanese guy I've met online, - they've treated myself and other people well, weren't annoying, and acted like they were actual people. Mexicans, Chileans, and Hondurans have been consistantly shit. Egos out their asses, the only thing they can do is swear and rage - whether that's throwing or just abandoning games. Peruvians can go either way, and I've had the fortune to not knowingly play with Argentinians.

flipante el dato amigo pero no recuerdo habertelo preguntado
cuz its a good practice
i already speak in spanish every hour of the day so who cares lmao

>implying
kill yourself you pretentious lying monkey retard
