OK, this kinda just punched holes in my day. EA South Africa posted on their Facebook that Titanfall will not be released 'at this point' in South Africa because our network speed is not up to snuff. I don't know who to blame more: EA, Microsoft, our government for the crappy infrastructure, or the asshat who complained publicly about it.

Most of the details are here. Just follow the s**tstorm to find out all the details. GAWD, I'm pissed about this... I was seriously looking forward to this. And the more games that rely on constant connectivity, the more we'll get left out if our local publishers don't offer the proper server support for these games.
