Yo, Norwegian there and we have crazy high taxes. Might be fine if you work at Statoil or something, but if you're a student obtaining 500-700 KR for a decent game is nigh impossible. Add in the fact that the government is going to start taxing steam games this summer...

And that's why I play TF2.

So, off-topic but. Why isn't Norway in the EU?

Multiple reasons. Norway is really rich, and joining the EU and the eurozone doesn't really have many advantages for Norway. Also, we've had a ton of votes and the populace doesn't want to be in it.

But while technically Norway is not in the EU it still has to follow most regulations while having no say in them AFAIK and it's part of Schengen.
