Yep, I’m just shouting out my country because it checks the points.
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.
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.

There’s like 160 more country names you could go through. The SteamDeck has really low global market availability.

But I’m sure it’s similar elsewhere.
