Rockstar Games just released GTA Chinatown Wars for the iPhone but it turns out that it’s not available in all Apple app stores. It’s been 4 days since the most of the world can get it but still nothing in Switzerland, Mexico, New Zealand, Japan and many other countries.
Most of you will probably say that “it’s only 4 days”, true, but remember what Valve CEO, Gabe Newell said few months ago about worldwide availability and localization – games that are released differently around the world are simply pirated on the first release date and everyone gets them anyway.
Some users contacted us and told us they contacted Apple but they gave them the standard rsponse (to request an app with a form on the website). However Rockstar Games didn’t respond at all (through Rockstar’s support, Facebook, Twitter etc).
And developers/publishers are surprised their games are being pirated?
