It appears that EA has given Gamestop the worldwide exclusive rights to sell the Dragon Age Inquisition: Inquisitor's Edition.
This poses 2 big problems:
1. Gamestop is only available in a very limited number of countries, and Gamestop stores in those countries do not ship to neighboring countries. For example people in Benelux have no access to Gamestop!
2. Gamestop Europe does not seem to be interested in selling the PC version of this collector's edition (I contacted Gamestop, and they told me: "we will not have this item for PC in our stock").
There are plenty of other retailers who would jump at the opportunity to sell the PC version of this product (and/or to sell the product in those countries where Gamestop does not operate). Imho it would be very stupid of EA (and a big slap in the face of the fans) if EA gave Gamestop the exclusive rights, even for products that they are not interested in, and even in countries where they refuse to sell.
Doesn't the EA contract with Gamestop have an escape clause that allows them to pick another retailer for those situations?
In short: how are we, PC fans of the series, supposed to be able to obtain the version of the game that we want?
And please don't tell me that I should just buy the standard edition or the digital version off the Origin website instead, because I'd rather not buy the game at all, than bow to EA's whim.
There's a large thread on the Dragon Age forum with replies from people who all suffer from these same problems.
