Staggered Release Dates = Bad Idea

[Bangy]

hi.

I hate to have my first post be on such a negative topic but I can't help to point something out.

Evidently the game (Necrovision) is to be released in Europe on Feb 20th while the North American release isn't dropping until the spring.

Is it obvious to anyone else that this is just asking for people to pirate the game? I fully understand that a matched release date won't stop ALL piracy but when you separate a game release by MONTHS, particularly if the game ends up being popular with decent reviews, then you are just asking to be a victim. Why not minimize this by simply releasing at the same time?

All one needs to do is look at the game "Call of Juarez" which had almost a year between releases between Europe and North America. The sales here were abysmal despite it being a good solid game. Maybe it just wasn't popular but I'm sure things wouldn't have been as bad had it been released at the same time?

Am I wrong here or....?
