Let's say you have a product that everyone is dying to get/try/play, then if you are the only one that offer the product 3 days prior to anyone else, you will get huge amount of customers because you are the only one offering the product. PC bang being blizzard partner, the fact that they get access to the beta 3 days before everyone means that during those 3 days, every single Korean sc2 fan will be playing at their places, so huge benefit. I don't know how you can't get this. And to the Why ? well simply because they are blizzard partners therefor they must have some kind of agreement leading to this, blizzard must be profiting from this as much as PC Bang. It's just the law of the market and how to make money for PC bang while promoting the game for Blizzard and probably leading to more events/agreement for the future between those 2. Ok so I think you misunderstood. I am asking why not release it internationally on the same day not why only in PC bangs in korea. I don't really care if the Korean beta can only be played in PC bangs since they are soo easily accessible to everyone. If they want to generate some money that way then fine. I however don't think it is fair to have only korean beta online for those few days. Relaunching US and EU beta should have little affect on the Korean advertising plans. | ||

If i get you right, you want to have the us/eu beta at the same time as PC bang, while Koreans get it 3 days later, that create more unfairness that the present situation imo. I don't find it's unfair anyway, you can play the game in the cyber café 3 days before anybody else, or you can play it at home same time as everybody else. We don't have this kind of situation in EU or US because cyber cafés and lan centers aren't part of the culture mostly because everybody can afford good internet or computer, so since it's particular to the korean market, it's just how it is, 3 days earlier or later isn't that big of a deal since it's been already several weeks of waiting. | ||

How many 1000's of games you think you're going to play?  I had surgery yesterday (and am doped up to the eyeballs), was sad that beta isnt starting on the 26/27th as has been previously rumored ;( | ||

At least it doesn't sound logical to me... but then again I'm wrong a lot.. 1 : PCbang is huge in Korea and a business partner of Blizzard, it's not just some random cyber cafe 2 : It's only a beta, it's not like they're releasing the full game in advance and giving PCbang the exclusivity. | ||
