I know, it's genuinely ridiculous. I intend to pay to see this film, but I will bet the price of my cinema ticket, my popcorn, my drink and everyone else's ticket drink etc (So what, £60? £90 in 3D?) that whatever reason they trump up it will have cost them more money than to just release the film in line with America. It's the same language, so no translation, and like you said, people will be more than willing to pirate this but more importantly, the main crowd who are interested in this, the gamers, yeah. These are the guys who are the escapist, on gametrailers, gamespot, reddit, 4chan. They know about this film. And they will now start to lose interest between now and it's release.Spot1990 said:When will they realise that in the digital age if you want to combat piracy a 3 month gap between release in various markets won't help.Little Duck said:Here in the UK we don't get to see this till February.
This is a dumb and expensive decision.
