An open letter to the Xbox (Live Team)

I don't usually post this kind of stuff on forums, but this is for a good cause. As you may know there are many EU countries where you can't pay for an Xbox Live Gold subscription. My friend has posted an open letter to the Xbox team on reddit.

Upvote it, share it, help in any way to get this seen by Major Nelson, especially if you live in Croatia, Bulgaria, Latvia, Cyprus, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania or Slovenia (countries where you cant buy an XBL Gold).

Thanks

I am sure it isn't just a matter of "whoops, we missed that country".

There is some sort of a barrier to entry and the costs to enter the country do not financially make sense. It sucks, I'm sure...but such is the tax heavy world we live in these days, everyone wants their piece of the pie.

Have just tweeted it to Microsoft Romania and a few online and mainstream IT journalists and bloggers.

Hope it helps mate, but I seriously doubt it. No Netflix, no SonyEntertainment, nothing. We are in Europe, but get treated like we are all banana eating monkeys

Lol. Thank you, I needed that.

There must be a reason why those companies will not go into Europe. I'm thinking it may have something to the law-making bodies / enforcement. Look at all the BS MSFT has had to put up with there. Then again, there may just not be enough potential business to make it worth it.

In most of your mentioned countries there aren't that much people living there
