Can someone explain why the rest of the world has to wait to play this game.

I live in Australia. Like the rest of the world I have to wait to play this game for two days after America. I know there are lots of gamers in America but so what - there are lots of gamers in the rest of the world too. I've paid the same money as American gamers - actually in Australia we pay way lots more money to play games than most other places. I think when devs do this, they are just thumbing their noses at the rest of their fans. Why the preference. Please don't tell me it's so the servers wont get stressed. In Australia there are dedicated EA servers for Garden Warfare. Seems to me a much better solution is to release games according to time zones (like most other games are), only trouble with that is I think Americans would probably get their games last - actually maybe that is the reason.

    I agree - it is almost like the money of European Customers doesn't count as well !  Why do we have to wait ?  feels like we are second rate customers to EA !

  • I don't think it's anything like that at all. I believe it's probably due to international laws and regulations. They might want to ensure the best game possible using America as the last beta test. Maybe a final server stress test or they are afraid of selling a faulty product and getting an international lawsuit.

    Those two comments were wrong. The only reason is because they need to ship it to the countries that are outside of America, since PopCap is in America.

    nah, that's not valid mate. Some of us bought the digital copy, you don't have to ship that out, now do you? ☹️
