Aren't legit copies of video games especially difficult to find in Brazil? And when you do find them they are > $120 USD? That is just what I've heard, I wonder if it is due to this protectionism that you mention?
- diego_moita 14y agoProtectionism might be a factor but in this case is not the only one. Heavy taxation and costs of distribution and marketing are more relevant here. Pirates evade all of them.
- speeder 14y agoFor games it is mostly taxes ( including protectionist taxes ) A congressman here calculated that a videogame may get taxed 273% on its original import price without shipping costs.
- jevinskie 14y agoThat number is staggering! Thank you for your input. =)
