how is the steam deck official dock a hundred european dollars

also why is the steam frontpage trying to get me to buy one when it knows full well that i dont own a steam deck

@codl it's apparently just a regular USB-C dock that you could use with any laptop (and likewise any regular USB-C dock works with the deck, this one just acts as a stand too)

€100 is weird though, it's only $80 over here. import fees I guess?

@Felthry 20+% VAT is included in the euro price and not in the $ price

@pup_hime ah that makes sense

we don't even have sales tax at all over here in oregon (it's different per state in the US, which is part of why they don't include tax in price tags here) so sometimes we just forget about it
