Why does EA take taxes from my games?

Steam doesn't do that, GOG.com doesn't do that, so why does EA feel like it's okay to add taxes when their competitors don't?

Hi,

Perhaps taxes are calculated differently on GOG and Steam - I currently can't speak for them. What I can say is that paying sales taxes is a legal requirement (depending on where you're from), so it's something we have to abide by as well.

If you've got further questions about it then I can chase that up for you though.

Kind regards,

    Hey @mrcardiea for issues or questions about purchases on console you will need to speak to the respective platform owner.

    I am going to lock this thread as it is quite old.
