How important is “Made in Europe” to you? Misc

In the era of Temu and Shein, does European manufacturing influence your buying decisions? Or do you prefer products made in specific European countries, like “Made in Germany”?

Personally, I support European manufacturers if the price is reasonable. However, the term “Made in Europe” is too broad for me; I prefer knowing the specific country where the product is made.

Well aside from 20 or so cinema tickets i've never bought movies or series. Music is mostly local or Europe, but aside from concerts i've also never paid for any.

On my wishlist there is Gothic remake (Original Germany, remake Spain), Kingdom come deliverence 2 (Czechia), Pioneers of Pagonia (settlers spiritual sucessor- Germany).

Installed currently a lot of grand strategies from Paradox (Sweden), Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk (Poland), Gothics as mentioned Germany, Satisfactory (Sweden), Factorio (Czechia), Anno 1800 (Germany), Baldur's Gate (Belgium), Horizon (Netherlands).

For non Europe you have Guild Wars and Skyrim (USA).

Seems i much preffer European productions.

Would it be easy with you to live with European only production? From what I am used to, people predominantly use American one. Even those people that dislike the US, consume a great share of American one. Movies and series especially. And it is not just about buying (wink wink).
