Judging by the hoops people in this thread have gone through to get a copy of the game I must say ,
its damn sad that in this day and age publishing houses dont do world wide releases.
I remember when I 1st ordered WoW from the US through a mate of mine and played on the US servers for years until the EU version was released.
They cant stop you from connecting to a server on a different continent if you really want to play the game.
So , in my mind , it should come down to the fans , the fans should be able to buy a game at the same time the rest of the world gets it. I know we are in darkest africa but that's no reason to leave us out in the cold.
If their afraid of shipping a game no one is going to buy , let people pre order it from a website but still get it the same day as the rest of the planet.
At my work , if we order a laptop from Germany , it arrives 2 days later.
No excuses for publishing houses to not get a game to a fan if he pre orders it.
