You forget how stupid/greedy the masses are. By that theory, the more expensive version would have to come out first so there would be some incentive for that group to buy that over the cheaper version simply cause they want it sooner. most translation projects on the scale of a videogame take at least a few months depending on the type of game. With these dipshits that think they're entitled to a release at the same time as japan or earlier (double lol) means that the company would have to work out a deal with japan to license it BEFORE they release (meaning it'd probably be waay more expensive since japan basically has to sit on their release since its done already) and the licensee cant even see any sales figures beforehand since they don't exist yet.
Considering that, if the project flops... Well, the licensee is screwed bad...
The only real way to make your idea work the way you intend would be to release it everywhere at the same time for the same price... and with how unbalanced the countries' economies are I don't think that will be possible for quite a long time. |
