    For the same price, you could buy so much else. For example, an old but still usable office PC. Every year.

      I can buy PC for 12 USD? That’s a totally crazy idea.

      For that much for sure I can’t buy many games, access to numerous movies and TV shows, additional Twitch sub and I don’t know what else they have. Frankly the Amazon store is the least important thing to me in this package.

      Oddly enough I still might not get it, as that company definitely has become pretty fucky.

          I swear to God I’m losing it… It cost for me 12 USD per year in Poland.

          Am I looking at the wrong thing?

              That’s not different, that’s ludicrous. I don’t understand.

                Americans have more propensity to consume than Poles. Amazon sees this and prices accordingly to maximize profit. It’s the same reason why games were sold in Argentina for $5 when they were $60 in the US.
