Like being able to return games? That was to comply with an Australian law, and it was just easier to implement it for everyone than just do it for Australia specifically.

Well you say that but Sony also has an online game marketplace that operates in Australia.

I don’t know how it works in Australia, but in the U.S. their return policy is not nearly as generous as Steam’s. In fact it Sony’s return policy only really exists on paper. In reality they don’t really do returns at all.

I agree, it's easier to do it worldwide, but that doesn't stop companies from writing extra code to comply with local restrictions only locally.

Look at all the US companies where their websites function differently if you are in california or not.

It was a law, but they were by no means forced to be good about it and let everyone in the world benefit.
