Just saw that Steam is actually starting to add sales tax to marketplace transactions now, and people are absolutely losing it. Apparently Valve's collecting local taxes on market fees based on whatever state you're in, which honestly caught a lot of gamers off guard. The whole thing is tied to that 2018 Supreme Court ruling that basically changed how online sales tax works. Some states like California, Alabama, and Louisiana are hitting users with 7%+ tax, while Montana and Nevada don't tax digital goods at all. The confusing part? Nobody really knows how Steam's tax policy will shake out internationally, especially in Canada where the rules seem different. Gamers are calling it everything from theft to taxing monopoly money, and some are threatening to bail on Steam's marketplace entirely. One thing Valve did add is a new checkout screen showing exactly what tax you're paying, so at least there's transparency. But yeah, the Steam tax situation has people pretty frustrated right now. Curious if this actually sticks or if there's pushback coming.
