Google is the only company that does this. Even product pages are geo-dodged in a similar fashion, as if the technical specs for a Pixel phone shouldn't be readable outside of some approved areas and the user is silently redirected to an unrelated page. It's quite surprising.
- lxgr 3y agoMore than once, I've had to use a VPN to order a Google device from abroad (shipment to country A, paid with a credit card from country A, while currently physically located in neighboring country B). It's beyond ridiculous. At least the Google Store now has a country selection switch, but I suspect that that also only happened due to new EU regulations requiring them to do so.
