Awesome news, especially for gaming on the continent. I won't lie, AWS Cape Town is kind of a dream gig for African technologists.

No it's not, if I'm based in Tunisia for example, why would I pick that region over one in Europe?

I perhaps should have qualified this with Sub Saharan Africa. Tunisia and the rest of North Africa might as well culturally be another world.

That's my point. It makes no sense to talk about "Africa".

Well then you would be based in Europe, thus ruling out the original qualifier.
