I guess nobody ever told them about the American Revolution.

 

You wacky Americans, thinking you're the centre of the universe. :twisted:

Still, it's a valid criticism. It's a pretty fucking big market.

 

But we are.
We have all the money, all the guns and all the technology, so who cares? For solpsistic purposes, we are the center of the multiverse.
Anyway, it is still not as big as Europe for PC games, especially good PC games.

 

That Apocalyptica game is Europe only, which is really odd since they licensed the Quake 3 engine for it. I'm not even sure you can recoup the cost of licensing Quake 3 and make a decent profit limiting yourself to that small a market. Hopefully Mistmare isn't doing that either.
