Gamers living outside the United States can expect two common truths for when it comes time to get a new game: 1) they'll be paying more for it compared to American gamers, and 2) they'll be getting it later than Americans. Normally that's tolerable; after all, they'll end up getting the game eventually and there are some legitimate reasons for why there is a delay and why it costs more.
But when it comes to things like a few days' delay or unreasonably extreme delays, what these game distributors are essentially saying is that the money from an international gamer doesn't matter as much as the US gamer's does. And that is not a fair situation.
