European Commission Looking to Unify Digital Market in the Region (http://www.vgchartz.com/article/253429/european-commission-looking-to-unify-digital-market-in-the-region/)
The European Commission has announced plans to unify the digital market, including games and movies, in the region.Right now digital distribution services are separated from one country to the next, with varying prices. However, the European Commission wants to get rid of the barriers and have each service with one price across all of Europe.
"Let us do away with all those fences and walls that block us online," said the vice-president for the Digital Single Market Andrus Ansip. "People must be able to freely go across borders online just as they do offline. Innovative businesses must be helped to grow across the EU, not remain locked into their home market. This will be an uphill struggle all the way, but we need an ambitious start. Europe should benefit fully from the digital age: better services, more participation and new jobs."
"Europe cannot be at the forefront of the digital revolution with a patchwork of 28 different rules for telecommunications services, copyright, IT security and data protection," said the commissioner for the Digital Economy and Society Günther H. Oettinger. "We need a European market, which allows new business models to flourish, start-ups to grow and the industry to take advantage of the internet of things. And people have to invest too – in their IT-skills, be it in their job or their leisure time."
Pessoalmente, não me parece que seja boa ideia, pois vai penalizar os países mais pobres.
Por exemplo, o Steam tem 2 níveis de preços na Europa. Portugal está no Tier 2. Link (http://steamunpowered.eu/european-tiers/)
Os países mais pobres têm jogos mais baratos, ajudando a combater a pirataria, permitindo acesso de jogos legais a mais jogadores, expandindo o mercado a pessoas que não podem pagar tanto por jogos.
Caso tenhamos apenas um preço, de certeza que as empresas vão escolher cobrar pelo valor mais alto.
