US Only Promotions as a Canadian: Why?

Nothing has changed. It just generates More Steam when it’s a us only promotion. More people talk about it and more people complain about it. There are a ton of really sick China only promotions they have done over the past 2 years alone. Yet nobody ever talks about them

Yet there was literally 10 forum post about the Dew promotion before the us promotion even live. Yet I saw Zero about the recent Chinese promotions they did.

It’s almost like we live in age where media Outlets for gaming companies only report about things they know they will anger and upset people.

Sad isnt it?

Laws are laws /the end

Outdated and ancient laws made by corpses that crawled out from their graves

Not my place to judge. I’m not Canadian, and I do not support their laws. I like promotions for all, and no weapon restrictions :blue_heart:

I live in canada and I despise missing out on these things. Now i just ignore any promotional things :man_shrugging:

I almost moved to Vancouver for a woman, then I read their laws and invited her to Arizona instead. She did not take that option too well LUL

Each side thinks the laws of the other country are worse lol

Well, without getting too deep in the details, let’s just say I love US digital promotions and my extensive collection would violate Criminal Code R.S.C., Ch. C-46, § 84 in Canada :rofl:

Love it so much you know exactly what laws you’d break, i see.

Every country has different regulations that need to be followed and contests/promotions need to be setup for them in particular. I would turn your attention to, similarly, how most Canada-wide promotions are not applicable in Quebec. It is simply a thing that happens sometimes. Considering we otherwise get to participate in most programs and promotions, I don’t think it’s a big deal.

Like I said… I love my research…

This usually happens when food is involved. In the most recent instance, it was Mt. Dew.

Some of the ingredients in many US foods are illegal in other countries and I think that is why it’s a US thing only.

My guess is its either easier or cheaper to keep these things exclusive to certain areas than to try having it widely disrupted, as there’s an expectation of higher standards of disruption.

Also because we have a tenth the US population up here, there are plenty of flavors and varieties that are not sold here because there’s not enough demand for it. You just get used to it living up here.

Kind of off topic but I heard that when Trudeau went to Maralago to talk to Trump about the tariffs, allegedly Trump joked that Trudeau should just make Canada the US’s 51 state and Trudeau could be the governor.

When I heard that I thought it was kind of funny but I also thought it’d be kind of cool if Canada and US merged.
Probably just me, though. There’s probably a lot of Canadians who wouldn’t like that.

Anyway, it’s off topic.

Perkins Delivery?

Canada was formed purely based on the fact that we didnt want to be American.

So no. Canadians don’t want to join america.
