Dashel Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Ok, can anyone explain what the deal is with some recent titles being released/published only for the EU and not N. America? This trend has to stop. They are only shooting themselves in their own economic foot. Is there some new EU law or some such that could be effecting this?

EnisDonKing_ Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I`m from Europe and I don`t know for any law which wouldn`t allow games to ship in NA as well. What I think is that producers don`t think that some title will ship well in NA so they produce it only for Europe.. Classic example of that would be EA Sports game based on NFL which isn`t popular in EU or like some soccer game which isn`t popular in NA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 by releasing only to limited areas at a time they are able to better control the market. this is same reason why they have regions for dvds and incompatible different consoles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveoc64 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Believe me you get the better side of the deal. We get nearly ALL games and DVDs later than NA does here in the UK. It is also worse in Australia where games are modified greatly to remove violence which causes long delays - Like the GTA series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even worse still when people from the US brag aboot how much better they are at a game than the brits when they've had the game released for 3 months and we've only had it a couple of weeks. [End Rant] not that i'm bitter ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
