OK, I get it. This was done due to regional restrictions. To separate the cheap price of the eastern region from the western. I refer to this anti-piracy protection. To keep the terrible and evil Western Pirates from the USA, Canada, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa from buying cheap goods in Russia and Poland through the vpn.
For example Digital Deluxe in Europe costs 70 euros, or $60 in USA and in Russia only 34 euros. It's a big difference, isn't it?
But is it a good way to protect the legitimate customer? To me it is clear that digital program can be limited in other ways without prejudice to the legal rights of the buyer. Yes, yes. I believe that the buyer has the right to use the program in English like in operation system IOS, Android, Mac OS or Windows or other applications.
As an aside, for various reasons various people, English is better instead of local language, for example, people strive to learn English, and they restrict the flow of the native language and increases the amount of English. You can watch movies in English, read English books, listen to the radio in English and, incredibly but true to play games in English. And that's all help growing level of understanding of the language.
But there is one more important fact in addition to unacceptable levels of translation and how creepy was translated cheers and cries of the opposing sides. And this is a serious obstacle in the game. For example it is not clear who's called around the corner, an enemy or a friend when both opposing force speak in one localized language how it was in BF3? DICE you wanted this?
Sure, I can buy bf4 outside origin.com. By paying $60 at Gamestop, Greenman Gaming, Newegg with Amazon. I'm guaranteed to get the English language this way. But I have been unable to buy a Digital Deluxe version via origin.com, which I think is the most optimal for me. So what's the choice you leave for the legit buyer Digital Deluxe? Nothing. Digital Deluxe on Russian or don't purchase. This is not acceptable.
EA, you have to add English to Russian and Polish version of the Battlefield 4. I am sure that in 2013-2014, there are other ways to limit the spread of localized goods outside the region except the language. Please, do something for legit customers.
It is very sad when I talking to EA live chat support who calls me by my first name, see my shipping address, knowing that I was a legal client who wants to change localized game into English and answers that they can only cancel the pre-order and get the money back. Give me the ability to use the English language. In the extreme case, you can sell it as language pack. EA can sell what customers want if they can not give an any other way.
The End: guys you can release the patch with english pack ability for eastern people before Christmas with the revised regional anti-piracy system. We all, Russian and Polish be waiting this Great Moment
