CONFIRMED : NO GOW2 for Germany...what about Japan

I just read the article from Edge Online

According to Microsoft's spokesperson," We can confirm that Gears of War 2 will not be available in Germany or Japan indefinitely” said the spokesperson.

Update: Evidently this story is causing waves within Microsoft. A spokesperson has contacted us to "clarify" that "no announcement has been made" about plans for Gears of War 2 in Japan.

ROFL! UPDATE.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Sucks to live in Germany and Japan but they'll just import it or download it right now

Who cares if it gets released in Japan? They all suck at shooters and wont buy it anyway.

Interestingly, Asian people are supposedly more prone to motion sickness, which would explain their disdain for shooters.

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

I love how it's okay to run porn on live tv during the middle of the day, but God forbid they play a game where you cut someone in half.

If they feminize every man in Germany to the point where he doesn't enjoy a bit of the ol' ultraviolence, there can't be a fourth Reich.

People get the government they deserve.

The last thing I want to do is start another aggravating political debate on here, but I do not believe that people get the government they deserve.  Sometimes people get completely screwed over and do not deserve it.  And some people who deserve to get their asses beaten get away without getting what they deserve.  I'd like to find out who's behind the whole "people get the government they deserve" meme.  Probably the government.

GOW sucks anyway, not missing much.

Maybe individuals don't deserve a shitty government, but it's the population as a whole that allow criminals in power.  The people will always outnumber authority.  I don't see how it's not their responsibility to keep government on a leash.

You didn't like the first one, which makes your opinion useless.

No child porn.

Yeah, 'cause you Canadians sure do show that British government who's boss!

Actually America is a far greater influence on Canadian government.  Our format is British, we're part of the Monarchy but individual laws are Americanized.

Americanized.  

Is that some kind of foreign slang for disease?

It's like the flesh eating virus, only it really hurts.

The German and Japaneese could just put in Gears of War, and put some plastic foil over the TV-screen, and imagine that the plastic is some extra AA stuff. :) Then they'll have Gears II. :)

Youre thinking of Africanized. It means to be starving and have AIDS, I think.

No child porn.

Don't act like America has no market for that stuff.  The US has a growing child sex slave trade. 

"The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that between 100,000 and 3 million American kids under age 18 are involved in prostitution and they're often targeted by sexual predators."

Define underage though

16+ seems okay in my eyes if your under 20, but in most states an 18year old and 16 year old is statutory rape.

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

I've always viewed age of consent as a personal thing.  Some people are more ridged than others, I understand it has to be put in law to prosecute pedophiles...I don't see 16 as a magic number as I don't believe there is one though.  There are 16 year old old's that are more experienced and mature than some 30 year old's.

Point is, I'm talking about sex slaves (forced prostitutes).  It doesn't matter what age they are, they're still being raped.  Some are 16-18, however if we're talking about child slaves the average age is 11.

If I caught a person harboring a child prostitution ring I wouldn't alert the authorities I'd make arrangements to have them murdered.  Some people don't deserve to live.

I think they need to whittle that estimate down, at least a little.

This is America, the land of gross generalizations. Also, I think it would pretty hard to put a number on something like that. Its not like someone whos prostituting or soliciting sex from child prostitutes is going to admit it. Its like when the RIAA makes claims about how much money they lost on downloads, a download doesnt actually always equal a buy.
