Still region-locked unfortunately, at least for now.
Is there any argument for region locking games? Doesn't even need to be good.
I did kind of understand why they region locked dvd players back in the day (if we can make them pay twice why shouldn't we, after all we are despicable morons who can only look a line that goes up). But for games, I can't make sense of it.
If a game is illegal in a region, you don't want to sell it in that region.
That's the only good reason I can think of.
I hadn't thought of that, thanks!
