So we're finally getting Shin Megami Tensei IV here in Europe. The bad news is that it's
digital only after all of this
ridiculously long waiting for no reason at all, thanks to Atlus USA. Why keep up waiting for over a year for this lame ass announcement. Between SMT 1 being released for iPhones only, the region locking PS3 games and really long wait for Persona Arena and now this bullshit, I'm
really losing my temper with Atlus USA lately, it's like they're going out of their way to piss on the European fanbase. And since they're now owned by SEGA, there's really no excuse to not be able to release things better in Europe than before, either through SEGA Europe or through their partnership with NIS America [who released Soul Hackers and the Etrian Odyssey games for us over here and they're handling Persona Q for 3DS here too]. Or heck, Nintendo Europe, they would have done it.
Sorry, but I just had to vent about it. It's really put me off buying SMT4 now because of crap like this. I wanted a physical release for this, SMT is niche but what the hell man, their other Atlus IPs are even more niche and we got those. Just why? Makes no bloody sense to me.
For a company that used to pride itself on "caring about their fanbase" they sure are pissing away the good will they used to get.
