In Brazil, the tax on video games is 120% due to the outdated law classifies them as gambling

Because of the old law, which Brazilian authorities flatly refuse to cancel, the Brazilians have to pay for a video game about twice as much as in other countries: up to $ 150 per game. The law categorizes video games as a chance simply because they are called "games." And on this "weight" based on the installed giant 120-percent tax on their implementation.

Many civil society organizations are actively struggling with this injustice. They are trying to prove that the huge tax does more harm than good, as it promotes the growth of sales of pirated products. But for reasons unknown to us, the government is still not willing to reduce this tax.
