One of the reasons is probably the same why Tesla isn't releasing their Cybertruck outside of the us - the Crash-Tests there just don't factor in pedestrian survival rates if they are hit by the car that you want to release on the market. Most of those giant trucks don't make it here because they'd just run over any pedestrian they hit without them having any chance of survival even at low speeds.

Add to that the totally car-centered infrastructure that basically punishes everyone not in a car and you have the perfect storm for dead pedestrians and bikers...

Do Bosch tools not exist outside of Germany? Here the professional (blue) line is pretty much on par with hilti and Makita in terms of quality if not better depending on the type of tool

It's always easier to put the blame on someone else and not change anything than to accept that you might have a tiny part to play in the solution, too

Not every country is like the us

Especially in Europe a lot of them try to better people instead of punishing them and many have special institutions for teenagers that are my like psychiatric wards than prisons

The problem is that without those exclusive deals noone would change

Most people didn't buy EA games at origin or Ubisoft games at UPlay even though you needed those launchers anyway. They even didn't buy CDProjekt games at gog despite the games being dem free there.

Excluding deals on sought after games is literally the only way to get a majority of the players moving away from there comfortable "I have ally games and friends there already" position

People are lazy and hate change - without force it's not going to happen

No it won't - people are lazy

Even CDProjekt sold many more copies on steam than GOG when you

  1. Actually own the ge there instead of renting a licence for it.
  2. Know that 100% of your money go to the game developers.
  3. Get many additional goodies for free

Don't tell me people are choosing the better deal when it's all just steam having the might of "I have most of my games there already" on their side...

Let's also not forget that game developers have no choice but to release on steam if they want to have any chance on breaking even since they have that huge of a market share and that Epic challenging that already lead to better deals for developers since Valve hat virtually free reign before
