International suggests you can play it adequately internationally, which means at a bare minimum of EU and NA. If you do a US release and call it international… well… i think the forums currently show precisely what issues you will be facing. Nobody outside of the US is going to put up with 3-500ms pings.
You either name your product what it is, or you will have complaints. I dont see any issues here, and this is where you failed your argument, because if they would have called it an NA release, nobody would have room to complain, but did they call it NA release? No, they called it international.
If you honestly wanna argue that a car is a car without a motor in it and that ppl should be thankful for getting it, then you are wrapped up wrong.
Also, being thankful for being able to play? I think i missed the memo where they stated that this is a charity service. Oh wait… its not.
Customer and provider relationships are symbiotic. Not one sided. So unless both sides are happy, nobody is happy. To be frank, players should be as “thankful” for being able to play as they are “thankful” for players playing here and giving them money.
They do, because the forums are already full with complaints and the game is not even OUT YET
