You would, but that doesn't mean everyone else would've also gone and paid for the same game twice. They can't take into account every individual who may or may not buy their games. As a whole, those of us in the west aren't particularly well known for buying multiple copies of the same game. It's business, not a matter of being stingy.
That much is blatant common sense, thus why I aroused the arguement. I should have delved a bit deeper into my view before saying that and making myself look like an idiot. :tongue:
Have you ever heard of Atlus? They're a niche' branch of video game developers. You may know them for their work in the Persona/Devil Summoner games. They, depsite being not very popular, deploy a wise marketing strategy. Atlus plays it smart, they release their products with a logical sales measure. They
know their games (especially re-releases) will not do exceptionally well in the west. Therefore release the game in LIMITED QUANTITIES, so that each title is guaranteed to sale well within the core fanbase. Seriously, they gave us Persona 3: FES, the definitive and enhanced version of "Persona 3". Many thought
would never see the light of day outside of Japan. The fans rallied and begged Atlus for a localization. Guess what?
They responded to their fans and granted their wishes. "FES" could have easily been "Final Mix" for Square. The game still had high sales, regardless of its scarcity. Is there any real reason Square cannot follow suit?
That's my point. Square
can (they are a far more lucrative/prominent industry as opposed to Atlus) but they
won't Thus why I stand by my statement of them being "stingy" or better yet, lazy to do another localization. There isn't much excuse other than those.
