In the older days of gaming, when the Blind Idiot Translation ruled, games with lots of text might be too hard to translate (though this is a very weak excuse in today's world). Some things are just too flippin' weird to be understood outside their home nation by most people, as some cultural differences can get a series in hot water if what's tolerated or even welcomed in one country is taboo in another. Sometimes, what's being made is for something that's used differently elsewhere (read: most Japanese cellphone games). Then there are simply the times where the company thinks it wouldn't sell well. Another legitimate reason is, well, legal reasons, especially concerning the licensing of characters appearing in a Massive Multiplayer Crossover. And finally, with video game remakes and re-releases, some companies, most notably Sony, require a certain amount of new content before they'll agree to import it. --- End quote --- |
