- Downplayed: A half-off deal for the game is available everywhere but Quebec.
- Justified:
- It's not the company's fault, it's just that the shops weren't very good at selling it in Quebec.
- TB3 breaks Quebec content laws, making it illegal to sell there.
- TB3 centers on a kind of evil that Quebec had to suffer through just before the game was ready for release and the producers decided that it would be better not to expose the Quebecois to a reminder of it.
- Inverted: No Export for You
- Subverted: After the game makes enough sales, gaming stores in Quebec start picking it up.
- Double Subverted: However, the game is quickly dropped from Quebec due to legal issues.
- Parodied:
- In the American version of Trope Boy 3, trying to set your location to "Quebec" results in a fake crash, with the error being that boolean "LEGALITY" is set to False.

- Conversed: "Alice, those two Trope Boy games you showed me were awesome. I can't wait for the third one!" "If it's that easy for you to pack up and move from Quebec, sure!"
- Implied: An online review of the game criticizes it for not being available in the reviewer's hometown. A quick profile check shows that they live in Quebec.
- Deconstructed: The company is completely unaware that most of their greatest fans were from Quebec, and sales go down drastically.
- Reconstructed: The fans from Quebec soon get a new game, with the same type of action as Trope Boy 3 that's only available in their province.
Hey, at least you can still play it in Nebrask- ah dammit!
