Yes, same thing that happened with F1RS, if these guys got their
release schedules synchronized around the world or at least close,
it would reduce some of the piracy which is sometimes excused
because a product is not even available for purchase.
I'm not advocating or justifying warezing since a person can still order
foreign games through the web, but sometimes it might be tempting to
say to yourself.. "I'll download the warez version of a product just until
it is released localy then pick up the boxed version."
IMHO if they could better co-ordinate release dates, it would cut down
some of the warezing of these games by the "mostly-honest" people who get
caught up in all the initial release mania combined with the initial
unavailibility of a title.
