Not only that. In South America, it is impossible to legally purchase digital Nintendo games. The only options are: overpriced physical copies (like, 2 or 3 times the original value), or create a US account (so, lying in the personal data) and buy prepaid cards online (also severely overpriced).

I’ve had something like this happening to me a long time ago. While going from a city in Uruguay to a city in Argentina, Google Maps “suggested” a route that was 2 hours longer but took me through the ferry (a paid business).
