So why is it sega refuses to bring pso 2 stateside even for ps4

[Meta77]

Ignoring and pc elitism or play Japanese version elitism why is it sega refuses so hard to bring this game here. Do they hate America after psu? With a much larger ps4 instal base in NA america it baffles me why they refuse to even try. Reminds me of the days of how they f ed over their own consoles business. No logical business sense can be made to me and just wonder why. Would Sony if America need to step in?

Semi relevant.

[Sayara]

The problems of liscencing the anime crossovers, and the fact that their gatcha/AC spend->get scratch off thing isnt quite legal in some countries out of Japan.

Alot of the same reasons it didnt get brought over from PC/Vita over...

Still exist the same reason with ps4.

[Saffran]

The economics of the game, most probably. AC scratch would probably not do well enough outside of Asia to make the costs back.

[Magicks]

Didn't SEGA NA also get restructured? Maybe that's also a reason.

But in the ps4s case would it not be as simple as listing ac in the playstation store. Like how every other game on their with microtransactions does?

It's not about being simple. They won't make as much outside Japan as they do inside Japan.

It's likely cause of the whole phenomenon called "localization"

[TheszNuts]

Because English voice actors are expensive.

Sigh. well at least I still have my japanese psn account.
