    1. Really a business just needs to look at sales in a country vs the cost to operate in said country. I would be curious if any actually do it

    2. I must remind that this is the same country that closed twitter when 2023 earthquakes happen so the public couldn’t find about the amount of dead people.

      I love this time in history where governments are over bearing and controlling. What a great time it is.

    4. they just want a rep so they can taxes them? Like what’s happening to other countries

      just asking

    5. Turkey: “Games without age ratings will not be allowed”

      Game Platforms: “All of our games are now rated ages 1+, with disclaimers about the content.”

      Obviously the biggest issue in Turkey is video games, and it’s very important for the government officials, to spend their time dealing with video games instead of any other issue in Turkey.

    7. To be fair it’s a good idea to twist the arm of company to have representation from your country … But it only work when your country is a valuable market for said company. Turkey need to resolve their economy issues and political issues first if they want to play rough like that.

    8. If I understand this correctly in an unbiased way, It does sound like they just want local support. Which makes sense since the support follows national law and will make tech support easier for customers. Or the reps are just contact people for turkish gov that they wanna exploit.

      I dunno man.

    9. If anyone in turkey reading this is the time to contact your Congress, or such because they’re about do something dumb that ban you from having access to own games, and before know it they may ban vpn just like UK considering doing .

    10. Steam company couldn’t care less since what they earn $10 a year in sales revenue in that region…
